I need to vent.
I have been having contractions all afternoon (not painful, just uncomfortable), plus lower back cramping. My feet are a little swollen today, and my back is killing me! To top it all off, I had a bunch of appointments today (hairdresser, went to the spa to use a gift card), so DH was on daddy duty all day. Well instead of tackling the list of stuff he had to get done, he decided to take DS to the lake. Great, except it's now 7:15, they're STILL not home (left at 2:30), and DS bedtime was 6. I'm glad they went to have fun, but seriously, was there any need to go for 5 hours? When I asked him what he got done today, all he did was go to Costco to pick up the few things we needed. None of the other stuff got done. Why? Because he didn't get out of bed until 9 (it's his day off and I was going to be gone all day, leaving him in charge, so he wanted to sleep a little). Umm excuse me, but when do I ever get to sleep in when he has a day off? Or on any day for that matter? NEVER. I have to get up with DS at 6:30-7 am because DS is wide awake, and DH is still dead to the world. That ticked me off right away, as if he deserves to sleep in more than me since he has to take care of DS alone all day. I left for my appointment around 9:15. When I called him after the spa (around 11:30), and asked what they had done that morning, he said nothing. Meaning he laid on the couch while DS played trains. Argh!
He finally admitted that me giving him a list of things to do made him feel like my gopher, and made him want to do them even less. I not-so-kindly reminded him that just asking him to do those things wasn't working, so I thought a list might help. Especially since I've been asking for some of them to get done for MONTHS. I am so annoyed with him, which I don't think is helping the contractions any.
He's usually really great, but is grating on my last nerve today.
Oh, and I was supposed to go to the dentist today as well to get a filling. Made the appointment yesterday, forgot to mention I was 9 months. Called today a few hours before my appointment because I wanted to make sure that being that preggo was OK. They decided to cancel the appointment and are having me wait until after the baby is born. Not a huge deal, but just one more annoyance to add to my day!

He's always saying he hates it when I give him a list of things to do... and he loves to sleep in and ignore the list. If I ask him to do anything... it will never get done. Yet sometimes he'll just randomly have a fancy to clean something for me. I wish these random times came more often. You know what's crazy? Every time he leaves he gets all sad and lonely and starts apologizing for how he's "taken me for granted" and starts promising to help out more and do this and do that. Then he comes home and lays around... watches movies... plays video games. lol. So I've just learned to ignore all his confessions and such cus it's all just... a dream. I must be dreaming it right? lol.
All I said was, "Are you kidding me? Do all the restaurants do it at the same time on the same freaking day?" I was not happy.
