Hello, constant companions. Some of you have been wondering what I've been up to. As you recall when we started this journey I told you I would never talk just to hear myself talk. Don't get me wrong I've had plenty to say but I also believe that words have power.
The power of life and death lies in our tongues and because I was vexed I opted to say nothing rather than say something hurtful. Make no mistake I would have meant every word, however, I've matured enough to have learned that everything doesn't need to be said.
Just like your mama didn't have to say anything to you in church to get her point across, sometimes I'd rather just hold a cold, withering stare. I'll hold that stare until the subject of my disappointment becomes agitated and uncomfortable. Then I'll walk off and leave them to stew in whatever mess it is they have made.
Redundancy is also a pet peeve of mine. I don't like to be told the same thing repeatedly and I will not repeat myself ad nauseum.
For an example, if my husband has watched us struggle repeatedly to make ends meet, is it really necessary for me to call a conference every two weeks to nudge him towards gainful employment? If you're a grown ass man with 3 small children and a wife, at what point after the unemployment benefits run out do you decide to get up off of your ass and become an asset instead of a liability to the household? How long does this darling man expect for me to be loving and supportive before the bitch in me is roused from her slumber? Would I be wrong if I just took off of work early one day for the sole purpose of coming home to plant my foot....
On second thought, I'm not as purged of my venom as I initially thought. I'll need more of a cooling off period.
Oh well, on with the show!
(But do stay tuned for more of what vexes me.)

Finally, she has spoken! Even though you missed me on that one (not there as far as the husband and the family whole bit). Can we ask you questions ? Because I do have some...
Sure, I'd love to hear from you and will do my best to answer any questions that you might have.
Ok, lets see. The venom that lies within you will be there for a while. I think its a matter of chosing battles carefully as they are plentiful. There is title for stay at husbands. They are called stay at home dads. Now women have used the term stay at home mom to glamorize contributions to the family. We constantly talk about what we save on daycare, meals at home and the strategic avoidance of pedophiles. Can men offer the same security? Our society is changing and so are the roles of men and women. We will accept either role based on what the people we surround ourselves with think. I say, build an equation to see if hubby's decision to not become gainfully employed workout. If it does, then let it do what it do. If not, then take a half day off work, go home and put your foot in..........
