i have a limit

like most people i have a limit to where you can push me before i snap and can't handle anymore.

the other day i hit that mark with a fellow PTA parent that has sparked me to decide that after this next meeting (if i make it that long) i will be quitting the PTA and telling them in the nicest way possible where they can shove it.

i misheard a rough number for our fundraiser and thought that we brought in almost 8,000 dollars, however i actually heard almost 7,000 dollars and got jumped because this person then accused me of saying that she stole the other 1,000 dollars. That's not at all what was said nor would I go to someone else if I thought that had happened, I would have gone to the authorities if that was the case. It's bull the way she spoke to me and started complaining about bi-laws and said she was tired of doing my job for me...

um no chick- i don't think so!

i agreed to go to the school 3 days a week to pick up money from parents for the PTA and the fundraiser so that no one else would, I helped organize and pull off the fall carnival, i organized and pulled off the fundraiser, i was the one at the school every other day, i was the one that pulled off the rock star party for the students and spent 2 hours passing out candy bars to students that sold fundraising product.

i spend countless hours cutting thousands upon thousands of boxtops so that we get a bigger check from the box tops for education people, and I'm the one that organizes and counts the ones that are turned in during a contest that i might be running that month- but she does my job?? what the heck!?!

so that will be one less stress for me in a couple of weeks, i will not let someone run over me and talk down to me the way she did.

This opens up my Tuesday evenings and hours that I would normally spend working on boxtops.

YAY for free time!!!!!

Marriage

Married life is great most of the time, I usually don't have any complaints, however...

This really isn't a complaint about him, but more a complaint about the way things work out at the end of the day. We spend most of our days apart, he works 8.5 hours and I deal with the kids, after he gets home we spend time together but with the kids, then we fight to make dinner and get everyone ready for bed. Once all the kids are in bed and actually staying in bed it's about 9 or so and we only have a rough 1.5 to 2 hours to spend together. Less than that if we need showers. We very rarely get to actually go out alone. 

I know it's not good to complain but I just need to right now. If I kiss my husband "too much" in front of some friends they get all pissy about it, it's not like I'm making out with him in front of anyone.Usually random kisses is all the attention we can really give one another throughout the day, I'm sorry if that doesn't suit you and you're around when that attention is given. Don't be such a bitch about it. I'm sorry that makes you uncomfortable- don't look! If we are in our house we should be able to kiss when we want.

I wish we had the money to go to dinner alone one night, but we don't, so we try to make the best out of what we can, we make things work with what we have. That's a hell of a lot more than some people our age can say! Most of our friends have been divorced already and have "sworn" off getting married again, not all marriages are like that, some of them are actually meant to be- we love one another very much and we don't care who knows it!!!

We have our disagreements from time to time, but who doesn't? We work through them and come out stronger because of it. I love my husband with all my heart and the only thing I would change would be getting to spend more time together- is that a crime?
