I came home a little later tonight as I had a hair appointment.
As soon as I walked in Hubby pounced! (NO! Get your minds out of the gutter - I know I share alot but do you really think I'd share that!)
He began to talk to me incessantly. I mean really - NON-STOP! I hadn't even taken my coat off yet.
Why?
Because school is still closed (and will be again tomorrow) - so Man-Child took off to a buddy's house (not that I blame him) for the night.
This means Hubby came home to an empty house - with no one to talk to - until I walked in. Have I mentioned he's uber-social? He likes to be around people. He likes talking, talking and more talking.
I love him, I do! And I do enjoy talking to him - but really?
I'm sitting in front of the computer - typing away. It's obvious that I am busy. Leave me alone!!! Besides, the topics he wants to discuss? We've discussed at least a thousand times (seriously). This isn't new and interesting.
Usually when Man-Child is here - I am pretty much invisible (this is what happens when you are the only female in a testosterone-filled home). I've gotten used to this over the years. It's fine; really. Because I can do whatever I want without being bothered. I can read, blog, obsessively re-organize my closet - whatever. They don't care (as long as they aren't being involved).
So to be accosted in this fashion? Very annoying.
He's finally settled in front of the television - snoring away.
Ahhh - bliss!
But what does this mean for our retirement years????

Actually, upon reflection, I'll probably be a much better blogger and commenter - 'cause once he's out in front of the tv - there are absolutely NO interruptions!
Once all mine were out of the house, I lost my "purpose/reason for being". Still haven't found it, but glad to have met some wonderful blog buddies.
ReplyDeleteI have a teen daughter. I have learned to tune people out...is that bad?
ReplyDeleteI isn't it funny.....I would love for mine to talk to me more...I am like your husband and my husband must feel like you!!
ReplyDeleteMs. A- I'm sure I'll fee that to once M-C is really gone... :-(
ReplyDeleteKristi - it CAN'T be bad to tune people out - I do it all the time!
Gayle - I want hubby to talk to me more to; but only when it suits me; not him! This is why I'm such a bad wife!
My son will be moving out in June, and I dont know WHAT Im gonna do with myself, enjoy the peace??? Miss his company??? cry a freakin river cause my first born has left me??? Probably YES to all of the above.
ReplyDeleteHA! Oh, that is too funny! Maybe you can get him a pet? You know...something that he can talk "to" all the time...but it doesn't require a response??
