I'm so mad at myself.
hubs and I got into a small fuss, and we went to bed mad last night. So when I woke up this morning he had left with my son, leaving a note that said, "Went to the farm." Welp, guess he forgot we had plans with the neighbors...which added fuel to the fire, so in retaliation, I didn't make the bed! I've been waiting all day for him to come home and see the power I wield!! So he didn't come home until 5:30, by then my mad had almost flickered out, but I was still waiting for him to acknowledge the bed...just kind of a punch and run moment I'd been savoring... Still, he was home nearly an hour when I finally went in to confront speak to him, only to find him napping on the couch (Now I'm real mad because he didn't acknowledge my punch).
I stormed into the bedroom, intent on wreaking some other passive-aggressive havoc to add fuel to the fire (i.e. hide his pillow) only to find the bed perfectly made! Shams and decorative pillows perfectly placed, top sheet folded back on top and furry-throw-thingy at the foot of bed perfectly in order...WTF?
Then I remembered. I was on the phone earlier with a friend for quite awhile, and I tend to move through the house and find things to do while yakkin' and *I* had made the bed without even thinking about it...And it's a KING-size bed! And to make it matters worse, I'd been in and out of the bedroom all day and every time I passed the bed (in my mind, unmade and lying in ruins), I smiled in anticipation of having the last word.
So now the men are doing what men do (no offense to any men reading this), kicked back relaxing in front of the TV...completely in bliss after I cooked them dinner and filled their bellies, while I sit here bemoaning the lost day I could have spent writing with no one home, but instead pouted and obsessed over an unmade/made bed, thus leaving me with a cliffhanger...no resolution, no HEA.

I would've opted for "accidently shoot him in the nuts with a staple gun", but since that's not one of the options, I'd fuck up his socks. There's nothing more annoying when I'm in a hurry in the morning than not being able to find matching socks.

OMG, don't do the Saran Wrap! You'll end up cleaning it up. I agree with vrab -- the socks thing would be really annoying. Peeing in the JD is tempting, but I'd reserve that for the nuclear option.

True that, Becca! That's making more work for myself. But it sure would be funny. Reminds me of the time the boy and I asked my hubs to watch a movie with us. He hates it when we do that. He has his own little den where he likes to watch really stupid shows like Pawn Stars, Doomsday Preppers, Life in Alaska (?). But he agreed. So he came in and sat down in the living room and me and the boy had started the movie and were snuggled together on the couch. On the TV screen was a picture of a fireplace...the logs snapping and crackling...the fire blazing... So my husband wiggled around restlessly, trying to get comfortable (or make a point that he wasn't comfortable) and waited impatiently for about 5 or 6 long minutes before gruffly asking, "When does the movie part start?" Me and the boy cracked up. It was the NetFlix Fireplace...and hour of nothing but staring at a fire--no movie! |

You're ruining it."  |

Last week, when we got into a fuss, I took my vehicle mudslinging. Boy that was fun...until I had to wash it. It's white. And huge. Took me two hours to get all the mud off. But the look I got when I rolled into the driveway was priceless!  |

The socks is great revenge because it lasts a long time. The Saran wrap sounded funny until I was wondering who would clean it up.

Yeah, we'll the jokes on me... This morning I had intentions of DEFINITELY leaving the bed unmade, but I walked into the bedroom and saw him making the bed. Big bed, lots of fluffies, totally not his gig. (And he didn't even know I tried to leave the bed unmade yesterday). So I forgave him and helped, then did all his laundry (the right way), and he made me dinner and surprised me after dinner with something I've asked for for YEARS! So don't I feel like a smelly turd!! With all the stuff going on at Kboards I got real paranoid and asked him if he'd been using my iPad and going into my 'boards.' (wondering if he saw this post?).
Maybe my hubs is the mole?
(Just kidding, he barely knows how to check his email)
