and you can't shoot em!

Sorry... just need to vent here. My DH has to go to a picnic for his work tomorrow night. The department supplies the meat, and everyone else brings a dish. So, I thought I would make the cheesecake stuffed strawberries for it. Tonight after work, we had to go to dinner to help a friend who is fundraising for the 3 day breast cancer walk. So we did that and then I had to go to Sam's to get the berries - among some other things.

I got home and was ready to go around 9:15 - not too bad considering the cheesecake is made already. I had cleaned off the junk mail from the counter already... and when I walked back into the kitchen.. hubby had covered the counter with stuff I picked up at Sams icon_mad.gif . So I grumble and clean it up again, and then he starts asking me about something a few minutes later. I told him I had no idea and that I was busy at the moment, making stuff for his picnic. He told me that he didn't ask me to make them. So I told him - I wasn't going to, but that I am not going to the picnic, since I don't believe in going without contributing. He said that was fine with him. He will be there early setting up anyways.

So, on the one hand, I did not have to be up late working to get the berries done (and I got to see the International Space Station fly over head to boot). But I'm just kind of pissy because of his attitude about it. I thought I was doing something nice... and he couldn't have cared less.

Oh well... this too shall pass. Sorry for the long vent!

LOL!!! Good - for a minute there I was wondering how I was going to get him to confine his grumpiness to one day! I mean - I am a woman, but I'm not a miracle worker!! icon_lol.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

Hey, I just got an idea of how to handle our grumpy husbands. Let's make them a cake and if they're still mean we'll throw it in their face......but wait, that would be a shame to waste perfectly good cake!! LOL

I am sorry you have had such a bad time. I have to agree. Sometimes my DH makes me feel like my baking and pastry endeavors aren't that important and it is just frustrating. Then some days he is very supportive.

I wish they would have one mode, but we are not that lucky, and I suppose, i am grumpy too.

I just wish he didn't think that my cake baking and decorating was just a side show and could understand how important it is to me.

Thanks for listening.

Tris

My DH is a little better about things these days. But he still gets in my way when I'm trying to make $. It's kind of up and down with him.

I'm sorry you ladies are having those DH blues! I feel blessed, because my husband is so supportive with my baking and decorating endeavors. He doesn't like sweets, but he will hang out waiting for scraps and fresh icing. I wish all of you had what I have...... oh wait, maybe I need to re-think that - he doesn't pick up after himself and works nights, so that has become an excuse not to help with much. So, you may have it WAY better than me. LOL

Hang in there ladies! I can want revenge sometimes, so maybe when he gets really excited about something, just act like it's no big deal. icon_lol.gif Yep, I can be a real b***h when I want to be!
