The other night I was pretty worn out. No matter how worn out I get, my insomnia keeps me up. To make sure I can get some sleep I took a sleep aid that I get at the grocery store. Before heading to bed, the husband comes to tell me he put some clothes in the washing machine. He asked if I can throw them in the dryer before I go to bed because he needed them in the morning for work. No problem!!!. I love my husband and I will abide by my housewifely duties since he goes off to work every day and provides for our family. The LEAST I can do is put a load of his work clothes in the dryer. Not a big deal.
About half an hour later I head upstairs to check how much time is left the clothes. I figure, "it shouldn't be much longer"... I can have a snack, brush my teeth and i'm sure by the time i'm done I can just toss the shit in the dryer. By then, my sleep aid would have kicked in and I can go to bed....
1 HOUR AND 16 MINUTES LEFT!!!
WHAT THE HELL!!!??? I could NOT believe he put on all the "extras" to wash his little load of clothes!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!??? The sleep aid kicked in and I was bitchy as all hell because NOW I had to make myself stay awake to make sure I get his shit in the dryer!!! Normally I wouldn't of cared because my insomnia would of made me stay up and I could of screwed around on the computer or watch TV to kill time before taking care of the laundry. Not tonight... tonight I was feeling petty!!!
So, there I am watching TV trying to stay up. I wanted to turn up the TV to wake him up and piss him off but he was going to get so mad because he had to be up in like 5 hours. Sometimes I tap his shoulder and try and wake him up but I wasn't gonna to do that tonight! So, there I am tossing and turning trying to watch the Investigation Discovery channel.. Probably not a good channel to watch when your in a bad mood. It's all about kidnappings, murder mysteries and whatnot... OH WELL!!! It's not like I was taking notes!!!
Anyway, I kept looking at the husband, sticking out my tongue, calling him a JERK an ASSHOLE and flipping him off.... Yeah.... I was THAT tired and irritated... Still, that didn't make me happy. Part of me wanted to roll him off the bed. Part of me wanted to kick him but instead I flipped him off again. Somehow, giving someone the middle finger while they're sleeping and have their back to you doesn't quite do it for me. I WANTED him see me give him the ol' fuck you!!! Eventually I put the clothes in the dryer and there I was WIDE awake. In case you weren't aware, I'm a writer at heart. (no shit, huh!!??) So, I take out a piece of paper from the printer and write a note to get my frustrations out of my system so that I can go to sleep! I do this a lot when I need to get something off my chest. I think it was one of my nicest notes so it's not that big of a deal.
"Regardless if I didn't 'come upstairs' right away,
how about TELLING me you added a bunch of
"extras" to your wash leaving me NO choice but
to stay up til' 11pm to put your stuff in the dryer
as i'm FIGHTING my stupid sleeping pill because
you needed the stuff dried."
((sigh.... i feel MUCH better) I put it on his sink while I brushed my teeth, I wandered downstairs to double check the doors, came upstairs, went straight to bed. I slept like a baby. The next morning I didn't see the note so I figured, I threw it away before I went to bed. I text the husband and pretend all is hunky dory. I was happy thinking "I got the shit out of my system and I slept good so no harm done"...
Me: Morning handsome
Husband: Sorry I put the laundry on the long cycle last night...
Me: SHIT! I didn't see the note this morning so I thought maybe I DID throw it away like I thought I did. Sorry you read it...
Husband: Why ya writing me pissy notes? It's not like I did it on purpose...
Me: I'M SORRY, I was mad!!! I wanted to get it out so I can sleep since waking you up is not an option. Flipping you didn't cut it cuz you didn't see me!!!
Husband: You were gonna flip me? What out of bed? That's fucked up!!!
Me: OFF!!! I was flipping you OFF!!! I wouldn't roll you outta bed though I cannot confirm nor deny that the thought crossed my mind.
Husband: Whatever.
Notice how I clarified that I was flipping him OFF.... Way to go Brenda, that was SOOO much better!!!
((rolling my eyes at myself))
I know. I'm a retard.
I think THIS year for Valentines Day he's going to give me Divoce papers with a xerox copy of his middle finger....
