Your comments about how I could take control has got me thinking a lot these past few days, WII. My H is not home this weekend, and not sure when he will be. I have decided that when he does come home, I am going to sit him down, and present him with my financial plans for our future. Dammit! I'll even put it on Powerpoint, with pics and graphs and even a little joke or two (I'm very good at designing and creating Powerpoint presentations).

You know, it's just so irritating when I think of the amount of husbands on this bb who wished their wives had come to them when they felt there was a problem. How they would've then done something about it. But, now I wonder if they would've because men seem to have such different communication styles. IOW, they just don't hear us women, despite the fact that we are opening our mouths, and voicing our concerns over and over, sometimes loudly, sometimes quietly, sometimes in a bitchy way, sometimes whiney, sometimes with clear, calm and desperate intent. Yet, we are not heard, not taken seriously. Maybe if it were written down in point form? I dunno!? I can just see myself leaving, and my H saying, "but, why didn't you say something?" My H often used to say that he can't be a mind-reader, that I should say what's on my mind, but I think that he thinks I should be the d*mn mind-reader, because he says nothing about what's on his mind. I should just somehow use esp or check the star charts to know what is going on. AAAGGGHHH! I am slowly going insane! Why can't men just say what's on their minds? Just spit it out! He can whine about it, bitch about it, or be calm about it .... just speak! Jeez louise!!!!!!!

Okay, vent over! I will now serenely go about my solitary business. (Actually, I am enjoying the alone time, although I do see the kids from time to time ... S20 is working this afternoon, and D14 is going to the movies with friends, but we had breakfast together, so that was nice.)

In the meantime, I have been doing a lot of chatting to D26 who is currently driving up to St. Louis with her H (who is in his own car). They are moving to Illinois from Florida, but staying with the in-laws in St. L until they can find a house. Thank goodness for my awesome children.

Y'all have a good weekend!
