In all honesty, I cleaned like a mad woman this weekend.
 
And I do extra things like clean around where I am at the time.......
 
So, it ticked me off good tonight when hubby made the comment, "When you wash the dishes, could you also clean the stove top and the sideboard by the microwave?"
 
I am all like, "Well, yea!  I just recently cleaned the stove top where you cooked eggs and left pepper all over it!  And I clean the counter tops when I see they need it!"
 
He went to take a shower, and I took a "bath" of my own---in anger and indignation.
 
Later when he was leaving, and my goodbye kiss was small and pert,  he asks, " Hey, are you mad at me?"
 
Well, "Duh!"
 
He asks, "What about?"
 
I have to shift back into gear and mention the cleaning crap.
 
He says, "Oh that...You have to let stuff like that go, like water off a ducks back...in about 10 minutes."
 
"Huh?"
 
He says, "I have forgotten about it.  Why haven't you?"
 
I guess it takes me longer to get the duck off my back than it does him.
 
Yackity Quack, Yackity Quack, Don't Talk  Back.
 
I could have spent that 10 minutes doing something else, I guess.

    In my house a comment of that nature leads to the commenter being instructed as to the location of the supplies for wiping.
  • quietone said on Jun 11, 2008....
    maybe I would have found time to keep some hot water running while he was in the shower... so you could "clean" that mess up! haha.. then see how that duck liked the cold shower!  quackity quack.. I would talk back!  haha.. should have told him you couldn't clean cause you have "bumby arms" from picking up his mess outside!
  • wombat said on Jun 11, 2008....
    Yes, but as I said,  "When I am around there at the time...ha.  Thanks for stopping by as I go to bed, and NOT cleaning anything.  Have a good one, dear botoni!

    quack quack.  next time he makes a suggestion like that, i suggest you hand him the cleaning products as you tell him the water's running off your back.
    nothing like criticizing work someone else is doing while not helping out.

    secretlife:  Good idea--but to be fair---he is generally a better housekeeper than I am....
  • crybabylu said on Jun 12, 2008....
    I like botoni's suggestion, and everyone elses but I would have even handed him the cleaning rag.
  • queenparanoia said on Jun 12, 2008....
    next time he made that comment... tell him quack quack quack!!!! 
  • dailyachesandpains said on Jun 12, 2008....
    I JUST thought what Secret wrote.  I would have handed him the cleaning products and would have told him it's best to clean it BEFORE getting in the shower. 
     
    I'm ticked for you, Wombie!

    When my husband says stuff like that to me and it is usually over the food, "Hey, is this all?"  I will say to him, "Well I would have had more time but I spent hours scrubbing the poop stains out of your underwear! Hey, you want some cyanide to go with that whine?"  But if I am in a really pisssy mood, I might throw the food at him.

    do most relationships have "neatness" gaps? where one partner is neater than the other?
  • wombat said on Jun 12, 2008....
    crybabylu:  Yes, if he's gonna "rag" he can hold it!  Ha...
     
    Queen:  I like that!  I will quack him up!
     
    Daily:  Ok---I will do that next time.  Although guess what...I just washed up some dishes, grunted, and cleaned around the stove top and counter.....Didn't want to hear it....ha!
     
    mom:  I like your style!  You are a woman!
     
    bluegum:  Yea, like his bathroom....and I cleaned that last weekend!
     
    Fallyn:  Yes, they do.  We are a shining example!  I clean like it was somthing you have to do occasionally....like get the tires rotated....ha....  (an exageration, of course....)

    Well, W, I have a problem relating to cleaning but of a different sorts.  My boyfriend always takes care of mowing and weeding and watering so we have an agreement that I'll take care of the inside and he takes care of the outside.  However, when he does do something - anything - inside the house, he calls me to drop whatever I'm doing to go see what he has accomplished - just like a little kid - "Look, mommy, look what I did!"  I tell him, "I'm busy.  Good for you!."  But that doesn't deter him.  He'll wait for me to finish whatever I'm doing so I can go admire his work.  Geez!
  • wombat said on Jun 12, 2008....
    Zaraida:  I know what you mean!  I sometimes get that too.....I think he wants to show off his good deed, but sometimes I get the impression he is trying to teach me a lesson....ha.  (as in, See what you can accomplish if you put in some effort?)
  • Zaraida said on Jun 12, 2008....
    I always tell my boyfriend he needs more attention than my four kids ever did when they were little!
  • wombat said on Jun 12, 2008....
    Sometimes it's cute when a grown man acts like a kid, but not always....  I do get a kick out of him watching cartoons.....I ask him if he wants a bowl of cereal.
  • Zaraida said on Jun 12, 2008....

    Ha!  That's a good one.  Next time my boyfriend wants my attention when he does something I should ask him if he wants a milk bottle!

  • Zaraida said on Jun 12, 2008....

    Ha!  That's a good one.  Next time my boyfriend wants my attention when he does something I should ask him if he wants a baby milk bottle!

  • wombat said on Jun 13, 2008....
    Z: Ha!  I know what mine would say to that.....ha!
  • Zaraida said on Jun 13, 2008....
    Ooh, well, that would lead to better things!
  • wombat said on Jun 13, 2008....
    Z:  Well, I wish...ha.  (sorry for shortening you to a "Z", but I remembered we used to do that.  I know your name here is Zaraida, and I can even spell it without looking.)

    I thought of the name Zaraida because I was trying to sound like a belly-dancer and fool people.  Ha!  And sure, it's okay by me if we abbreviate our names.
  • wombat said on Jun 16, 2008....
    I just remember awhile there that we spoke and we were "Z" and "W."   And the belly dancing refrence rings a bell, also!
  • Zaraida said on Jun 17, 2008....
    I wish I could think of things to blog about like you do - you really write your heart out and make all your posts so interesting.  I do the same-o, same-o everyday so I don't really have that much to talk about.  Out of boredom, I shop but I really should stop doing that.  I'm still writing on and off but I lose interest really quick - same with scrapbooking, watercolor painting, rubber stamping, etc.

I heard about Pandora Radio today, but I guess it's really nothing new. It's a website where you can type in your favorite song, artist, composer etc... and create a streaming station of similar songs.

I pulled a good one yesterday here at home and just thought I'd share for a laugh.

I got home two hours early from working 12 hours shifts for a few days, so I crawled into bed and meditated myself into a deep sleep, planning on just a nap. ...
Been listening to the lame Imus show at work and he's on this kick about people's five favorite songs of all time, so I thought about mine. They are:

Tuesday's Gone With the Wind

I got confuzzled when I stopped in to get gas where I used to work, and the new lady there, who I've talked to some, interupted me with a question.

"So, you're divorced, aren't you?"

"What? Where'd you hear that?"

S...
I just got a PM from a sweet lady here (MissMimi) and also 3 or 4 emails saying I had messages on the facebook wall----all wishing me a Happy Birthday.

Not that I don't appreciate it, but it's not my birthday!

What happened, yo...
