ME EITHER!
Setting the stage:
Dh works in construction so he told me he wanted a new airline hose for his aircompressor. Said I'd be getting a call when it came in.
Okay, any wife would assume that that translates into...
Go pick it up when they call!
Right? RIGHT!
We'll they called on Friday!
Shortly after they called, DH called and said he was broke down
on the side of the road and to call him a tow truck.
NOTE THAT I SAID HE CALLED ME!
WTF? Why couldn't HE call himself a tow?
After I played personal assitant, he called me back and told me to
bring him cigarettes and a drink.
UM.... gas is just over $3 at this point and it's a 45 min drive
to where he is.
So after I played Chauffeur, Personal Assistant AND taxi to the kids,
he got what he wanted!
I hung around w/him on the side of the road for about 2 hrs while
he waited.
When they called and said they were on their way, I taxi'd back to town, ANOTHER hour ... due to bad traffic.
I was instructed to pick him a pizza up!
DONE!
Keep in mind....
$65 for a tow
$6 for a pizza
$8 in wasted gas (MINE)
he gets the car home and determines the COMPUTER is shot.
Now add $311 to that for a computer!
Saturday passes
Sunday passes
Monday I tried to pick up his hose, but they closed early.
Tuesday I finally picked it up!
Then got bitched out b/c I should have know
(this is the mind reader part)
that he didn't want it anymore b/c he spent too much $$$$.
So summize everything...
I'm a mom
a wife,
a lover,
a chauffer
a referee
a cook
an office manger
a secretary
a personal shopper
a housekeeper
a teacher
a fix it (wo)man
a stylist
a home interior specialist
a doctor
a peon
and
now
a
mind reader!
(I know I'm forgetting some but it's midnight)
WTF?
Sorry I just had to vent!
