All of a sudden every one wants everything "right now!" I even worked through my lunch today.
And.....My hubby has been working 12 hour days now for a week straight because his employer is too cheap to hire any help. The overtime pay is nice but we only see each other for a few hours in the evening and he is usually so tired he just falls asleep in front of the TV. I hate to see him work so hard. He's a work aholic....won't say "no" when they ask him to "fill in". I get upset because they are constantly asking him to fill in where they are lacking in help and he won't say "no" once in a while! So he's grumpy and tired during the time I get to spend with him. Ya know what I mean?
Anyway...just had to get that off my chest.
Thanks for listening.

Was this what caused the problem last week when he wouldn't talk with you? You guys need to somehow find some quiet time -- together.
I don't envy you two, having to work so hard (been there!), but maybe this might make you feel a little better: hubby and I are cramped up in this little tiny condo ALL DAY LONG (neither of us work). It's only a 2-room condo. Because we're in the process of building our home, which won't be finished for 4-1/2 more months, I'm real busy trying to make drapes for the place. That means I have my sewing machine in the middle of the main room, fabric spread out all over the place, rolls of fabric leaning against the walls, half-packed boxes of winter sheets and blankets piled up against the walls, and -- get THIS -- our rowing machine also sitting in the middle of the room (next to my sewing machine)! Not to mention the "regular furniture" in here -- this desk and computer, couch, coffee table, end tables, recliner, bar stools, etc., etc., etc. We're ON TOP OF EACH OTHER (and not in a good way)!
Bear with me here, Girlfriend --
I'm going stir-crazy with hubby. He wants to get on the computer, but I need the chair for my sewing machine. He pulls up a barstool to the computer, but it's in my way; I can't spread out the drapery fabric on the floor. He steps over the fabric but trips on it. I don't want to say anything, but the blood starts boiling......
How do I get rid of this man? I have work to do!!!
Okay, I've vented. Thankfully, the convalescent center that he does temporary driving for just called and asked if he could do a rush run to the hospital for one of the patients -- so I got rid of him long enough to get on the computer.
Now back to work.....

why he was in a mood last week and wouldn't talk. He get's that way when he works too many long days in a row. Then I start feeling sorry for myself thinking "why doesn't he just say no to them once in a while so we can have some quality time." I know, I know....I do appreciate any time we have together, but not when he's in this kind of a mood. I feel like I just get the raw end of the deal having to put up with the grumpy moods and tiredness. I know, I know....I've had my fair share of grumpy moods. I guess the reason it bothers me so much is that I grew up with my dad doing the same thing....working long hours just to come home and sleep in his chair most of the time. Sure, we had some very good times, but he also missed out on a lot of my and my brother's childhood because he wouldn't say "no" to his employer....he was and still is a work aholic. I guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself. 
I laughed at what you said about you and your hubby being on top of one another and not in a good way. 
Thanks for listening, Bev.

one other thing.....my sister-in-law and her husband are coming to town this weekend and some widows got broke out at their place on the mountain. So my hubby got them fixed and we are going up tonight to put them back in for when they get here. I asked him earlier if we were planning on doing that after work if he would be saying no if he was called to fill in. He just shrugged his shoulders. Well, guess what...he got called to fill in. So today is another 12 hour day only we will meet at his office after I get off work, go to the mountain, and then he will have to go back to work and finish up while I go home. He'll probably get home around 10:00 tonight.

Hubby and I just got back from our quick trip to the mountain. Took Blimpie's sandwiches with us and ate on the way....got the new replacement windows in and hubby went back to work and I'm here getting ready to watch Survivor. Wish he was here to watch it with me but will tape it for him and watch it again when he gets home.

What a story! All in ONE DAY?!? Good grief, girl -- I'm exhausted FOR you. Hubby's gonna wear out! How can he keep up this kind of schedule? Is it going to go on like this forever? At what point does he get to enjoy life a little?
You two SOOO need some together time, you really do. I hope you can find a way to get it.

Thanks Bev. I guess we have to count our blessings that we are together every day and he's not somewhere like overseas for months or years at a time like some wives go through. I'm just spoiled, I guess and love my husband and hate to see him work so much.
