Company coming.....

Okay, so I'm having a house full of company.  Days of out of town guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Days of people taking showers, using towels, walking in and out through the grass, on the floors.  Preparing for the visit, I have bathrooms to clean, shopping to do, preparations to make.  The morning before, 4 hours before all the company is to arrive, I am cooking, vacuuming, dusting......what does he choose to do this morning?......Help? .......vacuum for me?  Clean a toilet?
He decides to clean the foyer closet.....taking EVERYTHING out and making piles, dust is flying, gloves are being paired......it's September!!  Is this necessary right now with all I have to do?  I walk into the foyer and am trying to understand why he chose to do this at this time (the closet has been a mess for years)!  Now, instead of helping me, he is making more of mess!!  I am trying to keep my temper under control.  I guess it is apparent in my glowing, frustrated, tired eyes.......why this?  He is dumbfounded.  He is incredulous.  He is "helping" in his opinion!  He is cleaning!!  I can't deal with it, so I just tell him to be sure EVERYTHING is put away and cleaned up and I go back to chopping onions, washing pots, setting the table.  As I run around, going from room to room, making sure things look okay and everyone will feel welcome, I walk back to the foyer.  He is gone, the closet is clean....but, the floor is covered with pieces of string that came off scarves, with dust.  Foot prints take the dust from the closet to the back of the foyer, continuing on the carpet of the den and out the sliding door to the patio.  Now, I am so beyond aggravated and frustrated.  Onions browning, I run up to the kitchen and turn them off.  I have to sweep the foyer and vacuum the den, once again.  Why?  As I vacuum, I look out back and there he is, napping on the lounge chairs, IPod headphones in his ears.......sound asleep.  Should I scream at him?  Bop him on the foot?
I could shake him, have a battle, but, instead, I shut the vacuum and "release my anger with writing........

I know if I wake him he'll just say he's tired from cleaning, from "helping", which is what he did in his opinion.  He'll just think I am being ungrateful, he'll get angry and then be crabby when the guests arrive.  I don't want him crabby........so, I will go back down and finish sautéing my onions.

Company will be here soon...........smile?!

Quick Laugh of the morning....

How do you keep your husband from reading your e-mail?

DVR usage

Okay, so it's the beginning of the fall season and there are a lot of shows I'd love to see but don't have the right availability to watch them when they are aired.  Isn't that why we have a DVR?  My husband has this thing about keeping the DVR under 28% full.  Why?  I have no idea.  But, I fell in love with the HBO series,  In Treatment.  There are episodes on frequently, but each one follows a different patient throughout their therapy sessions.  I love them all and set them up to tape each series.
My husband freaked out, even though I watch them and delete them afterward, right away.  He's so afraid of using the DVR and having it fill up!  I still don't get it.
Well, I only got to watch one of two that were on the DVR yesterday.  I thought I would watch the other today.  I got all settled in early this afternoon and was ready to watch, but it wasn't there!!  There were two new episodes, but the ones from yesterday were gone!
When my husband came home from work, I asked if he had erased the episodes by accident.  He said no.  So then I went on to question why the episodes from yesterday were gone, but there were two from today. He THEN said that he had changed the options to override two for two......!!  Without telling me!!  It's this type of action that drives me and my son and daughter crazy.  He does things to our shows on the DVR without telling us and then acts like it's no big deal.  Meanwhile, if we would erase anything of his, he would have a fit!
After a lot of nonsense, he finally changed it to where I can have up to 4 episodes before they override!  Why does there have to be a limit?!!
This type of thing drives me nuts.  Anyone else out there with a similar issue?
I just had to vent........

What is WOAH?

WOAH stands for Wives of Annoying Husbands.

WOAH came into existence about 22 years ago when my friend and I were both "at home" moms.  Our husbands, who are basically really good guys, would, on occasion, drive us CRAZY!!  At these times, we had our code word, WOAH, and we would call each other requesting a WOAH meeting.  Then, we would get together and spew all our frustrations, anger, hurt, disappointment, or whatever the current problem was.  We would be able to just let it all out, without care to what it sounded like, and the knowledge that we both still loved our husbands and respected each others husbands, that fact would not change.
The purpose of this blog is to extend that free venting to all who need or want it.  Your husband may drive you crazy over bills, in-laws, cleaning, work, chores, the kids......whatever!!  Come here and express yourself, you'll see how good you feel afterward.  Then, once that "bad" energy is released, you will be able to return to your normal self, to your husband, your children, in a more relaxed state.  It's therapy without the therapy.
Please note, this blog is not for women who are abused or have other serious problems.....this is for the every day ANNOYING husband......that you know and love.
