Well,i broke down and bought the new keyboard.I love it,its real nice.But once i hooked it up,my mouse wouldnt work,i found my older mouse,it barely worked,i couldnt get it to point where i wanted it to.So...off i go to staples again for a new mouse.
Meanwhile,my "always thinking husband" has our tower in this tiny cupboard compartment of the computer desk,the beck is al rigged up so dust cant get in,but the heat is trappped in constantly and we have to keep the door open becasue of the heat,meanwhile its like trying to get into fort knox to unhook or hookup ANYTHING!!!!! So today i had it,i ripped the back off the little compartment,unplugged everything(vcleaned all the dust out....which was why it was so tightly closed up in the first place...to avoid dust mind you!)
Anyway,2 hours later,im using my new keyboard,and mouse,and i threw in a new fangled microfiber mouse pad(LOL),i can get in and out of the back of my tower ,and im finally a happy camper.
2 hours ago i would have killed somebody....namely...you know who.He comes home,says"Oh,i see you got it all working"ummm,,,yeah,dont talk to me for awhile!"
Why do men have to make things so very difficult(when trying to make them easier?)
Thanks for letting me vent,im finally good to go,YEEHAAW!~KIM
See this is one of the reasons I hook up all the electronic stuff in my house, so I can have it the way I want it. Men have some funny ideas of how to do things, lol. The sad thing is I know how to hook up everything in my house and my husband doesn't and calls for help constantly. I secretly think that he is too lazy to do it, so he pretends to not know how. I once heard on this show about relationships that men will pretend to not know how to do something because they DON'T want to do it. Then minutes later my husband tried to tell me he didn't know how to put water in the humidifier. When i told him about what i heard on the tv he started laughing. Ok well sorry for all this blah, blahing. I got a little carried way.
Stephany,believe me,my husband can be lazy,but...."knowing it ALL" comes before lazy.He knows whats best for everything.Closing this compartment up so we had to leave the door open or the computer would over heat was what was best?!?!?!? We've had it this way for years,i finally had enough todya and ripped the back off.Before,if soemthign went wrong,we couldnt get in there to fix it,what a pain.
My husband is Anal retentive to the highest power!!!LOL....something that should take 15 minutes to do,takes him 2 hours,becasue he wants it done "correctly"...i could do the same thing in 15 minutes(exactly)and it would be incorrect,his 2 hour job would be the proper way.
Man,we drive each other crazy,i always say hes anal retentive and he says i do things half assed. I always tell him"not half assed,half the time!!!!"LOL
There,it does feel good to get that off our chests huh?LOL,nice to know its not just me~KIM

I am glad my husband isn't a "know it all". That would drive me nuts. He does things half as*ed too, cleaning to be exact. I hate that because he just shoves everything in a basket or somewhere else. He doesn't put it where it goes. Then he tells me "Was that so hard to do?" "Why can't you do that, look at how fast I did it". I tell him "yeah, but I do it the right way". But that is only with the cleaning. With everything else I just have to let him be and do it himself because I am the type of person that will stand by him and tell him how to do it. I am getting better about that though. wow, sounds like I am the know it all, lol. I have learned however to let him take care of things himself, house stuff..etc. It is less stress on me.
Listen,if you can get him to do any kind of housework,right or wrong,youre doing better than me,lol,after 25 years of marriage ,the only house work he will do is wash towels,and his own laundry,and vacuum.Thats it.He has never cooked anything,ever,even on the grill.He has never ever changed a diaper,even with the grandchildren.But he does do alot of home improvement things so im thankful for that.Hes always doing things to make the house nicer/better.
I guess we all have to learn to give and take,sometimes thats hard though,lol!~KIM

My husband is the type that will change a dirty diaper or cook dinner if I don't feel up to it. I guess I am lucky that way. He likes to do home improvements, but usually he is paying someone else to do them. He wont do laundry, only his own and he will only put it in the washer and I do the rest. He will clean the house though and he does a real good job except that he doesn't put things where they go so I often can't find what I am looking for. But I guess that is a little price to pay for the "help" he gives me.
The only thing is he is a clean freak and that is why he cleans. He doesn't do it to help, he does it for him. We fight often about the house being clean. He doesn't understand why his house is never perfectly clean. Hello, we have three kids. I don't know how clean he expects it to be with three kids, but he gets MAD when the house isn't clean. So before he gets home I hurry up and clean the living room which is the room he most complains about.

Yep,i got a clean freak too.I agree,what the heck do they expect with 3 children,its never going to stay clean....unless you cleaned 24/7...my husband would go for that...but aint happening!
I hate housework,always have,i like things nice and neat and in order,i just hate doing it,so when my kids were smaller,it seldom was neat and in order.So i did like you,cleaned the tv room the most,becasue thats where he would plop when he got home from work,lol,Now that its just the two of us,its much easier,i clean(he does a little)and it stays that way as long as i keep on top of it,which isnt too hard ,until the weekend and the grandchildren come,then its pure chaos.I dont worry about cleaning until Sunday noon when theyve gone home.
Your 3 are still pretty young arent they?Whats their ages?Two boys and one girl?~KIM

I have a 7 year old son, a 4 year old son and my daughter will be 3 in May. I have tried to explain to him why his house will never stay clean and he is starting to see the whole thing. One time he cleaned the living room and an hour later it was dirty. He got so mad, but he also got to see what I go through daily. What I hate is he gets mad at me like I am the one making a mess. Then when I tell him I didn't do the mess his reply is, "well you let them do it". What am I supposed to do, not let the kids play. Kids need to be kids. Even his mom tried to tell him. See she only had one kid to take care of while I have three. There is no way in hell I am going to clean all day every day. My kids need me more than the house.
I know it will get easier as the kids get older and help out more with the cleaning. Right now he will just have to be understanding about it.
This reminds me of all the times I tried to CT off of pills. When I did pills I had my house clean and dinner made and husbands lunch made, but everytime I went through Wd's I would let it all slide. Then when I got on Sub and I started getting my life back, I hated cleaning. I think it was because it was something I did while I was high. Now I just do what is necessary. My big problem now is laundry. I have SO MUCH and I can never get caught up.
