ARG...it's 9 days now since he began what he likes to call his 'stop over' or short visit...short my BUTT...okay he came home VERY skinny, he's 5'7" and weighed in at 128...he is now at 135...YEAH it is like a constant trough in my kitchen, not that I'm complaining, yes I am...he eats EVERYTHING... LOL....
He is not moving a 1/4 fast as I would like him to. supposedly the GF and he are out looking for a job for him in her town and trying to find a place to live....it's 73 degrees out, it is a seaside town with a huge beach...yeah right, job hunting my big butt! LOL...
AND if THIS isn't enough, my washing machine bit the dust after 8 years...so the hubby says 'i'll take a look at it' I told him although he is VERY handy, this would be something he should 'call the guy' on. He didn't they where working together on it, and all of a sudden I hear slam bang, the front door open and metal making a huge noise, he broke the frame to it and then got pissed and tossed it out on the front yard, then I see them walking the tub out...I asked what happened he was SO mad, 'nothing, you need to get a new washer it was junk' he seriously thought washers only cost about 150-200...where the HECK has he been? So i get a top line front end loader, bells & whistles I wanted and for 350 BELOW retail cost and free delivery/pick up...and he didn't seem impressed, so I told him 'well, if you listened to me, called the guy, I wouldn't HAVE to buy a new one!" He started laughing, 'you knew I broke it?" DUH....our son was hysterical! I should've taught him a lesson (the hubby) and bought the matching dryer...tee hee...
And if THAT isn't enough, now my CAR is acting up! REALLY?
OGL, PLEASE send me some peace....lol...
Just a light post so maybe one of you will get a good light hearted chuckle!
