August 2012 now and I appreciate that it has been a while since I posted.
Life is far better as I refuse to get hassled.
FINALLY, a painter and decorator has been called and should start next week. FINALLY, after the garden grew knee high, a gardener was called.
The day to day stuff continues to annoy. A couple of Saturdays ago, I:
1 - gave my son breakfast
2 - got him ready
3 - went to the gym just to get away
4 - prepared lunch
5 - took my son swimming
6 - prepared dinner
7 - put him to bed
And she had the temerity to say that the food was not very nice. What did she do all day? Faffed about on the intranet.
But I did not criticise, I did not look grumpy and, in fact, we ended up making love that night and so my frustrations could not have come out through during the day!
Again, I do not mind the work - it is the criticism and taking for granted that irritates.
But, anyway, she appears happy, I get less upset and all that adds up to a relatively harmonious home life. I am tired and sad that this is all there is but that's the way it is.
