How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

He Deserved It

in Everyday on

I love my Hubby, but I just gave him the finger.

We are getting ready for my baby’s birthday party.  This should be easy. Taking 15 girls out for supper and then back to our house for ice-cream cake, present opening, fancy nail painting and dancing dancing dancing.  So why the stress!

Uh. Cat room must be cleaned, house must be vacuumed.  Kitchen crap magent counter must be de-crapified. Loot bags finished, dance floor prepared and on it on it goes.  I have become the Party Mama from hell.  (without all the money and the pony rides) Add to this that dear Hubby is also Sicko Hubby.  He has the sniffles.  When the big man gets sick, he goes down hard.

While we cleaned, I heard the mumbling under his breath…and the mumbling that was not so much under his breath.  It was something very much like “This is the last Birthday Party we are ever having in this house…this is why we take these parties somewhere else!”  Hmph.

It’s just a little cleaning!  You did not marry me for my cleaning skills so there are times in our marriage when you just gotta suck it up babe!  We mumbled at each other for a bit and then I stomped my feet and gave him the finger behind his back.  Not mature, but it did make me feel better.

Anyone who tells you preparing for a little girls birthday party is not stressful is lying through their teeth.

Got to go and get my party on.  Wish me luck!

    4. Men are such babies when they are sick. I think it’s funny. Women have such a high tolerance for pain, and so much shit to do, that they just have to suck it up and deal.

      I think giving him the finger behind his back was very mature… doing it to his face would have been immature!

      Hope the party goes off without a hitch!

    6. I gave my hubby the finger once and he got PISSED off and didn’t talk to me for 2 days. It was bad! Now I wait til he leaves the room to do it.

    8. Well, good luck! My husband would be the same way… except he lacks the ability to mutter and rather bitches & gripes loudly. Where’s the duct tape again?

      Haha, okay, but seriously!

    9. Well, at least you gave it to him behind his back. You’re way too nice.

      Parties can be very stressful and they always seem to fall on our shoulders. I call mine “Houdini.” Never can find him when there’s work to be done.

      Wishing you a great party!

    10. *snort* I’ve been giving my hubby the finger and the evil eye all day! And yes, I think he deserves it.

      Have a great party!

    12. Sounds like the bday party will be a great time! It’s her day, as it should. Can I come? lol.

      We all have many characteristics that our husbands love us dearly for, and some that can’t stand.

      At least he is still helping, when my hubby gets sick, he just sleeps and sleeps and leaves me with EVERYTHING.

      Can’t live with ’em ….but wouldn’t want to live without ’em!
