Life

Less than a month until school starts.  I hate having to set that alarm every morning.  Hate it, hate it.

We had wanted to have the house up for sale by now but...it's not. I guess I am just going to have to go buy the interior paint myself so it is sitting there...waiting for somebody to open the can...and start painting.

Now that our oldest has a boyfriend...again...she doesn't want to move.  *sigh*  When she doesn't have a boyfriend, she is OK with moving.

I WILL get out of this house.  This house was temporary until child support was done.  Now that my husband's child support obligations are over, we can finally move to a house that fits our family.  We have outgrown this "temporary" house.

Marital Pet Peeves

My husband has been scouring music stores in the search of "the" guitar.  He bought one yesterday.  Of course, it's the third one he has bought since June so I won't believe this is "the" guitar until he's owned it more than six months.  Usually he buys, then sells it.  Then buys another, then sells it.

I guess everybody has one thing that their spouses will do that drives them nuts.  This is my thing.

He's a great husband though so I try to just ignore it all - mostly ignore it all. Sometimes, it just gets too irritating...but I try.  Really.  Mostly. This is my marital pet peeve.

What's your marriage pet peeve?
