H is home

[soxfan2007]

OK so I get home last night after a stressful night at work (teenagers and their mothers)...

H has done laundry, and is folding it- all over the couch, and the TV is blaring. I go into the bedroom and close the door. I take out my iPod and put it on. Then I decide hey- I'm going to move the crap out of the living room. So I do and then I take a screen that we have that I don't use anymore and partition off the living room. I take my bottle of Mikes and my papers to grade, my Ipod and sit in there and grade. H comes in and asks if I ate dinner, I said na, not hungry and I had a roll. He replies "that's not healthy sox, you know that." I reply- I'm an adult and I'm not hungry. He asks if I want him to fix me something- I reply- thanks, but really, I"m not hungry. If I get hungry I'll get something." I almost added, I'm not a 2 year old- but I refrained. And I end with I have tons of grading to do.

He leaves the room and I continue to grade.

Then I shower and get into bed. I try to get on the computer but it's so sloooooooow. I run my spy checker and it has like 9 spyware things on it. I haven't had that many since H moved out- and yes he was on the computer trying to get the wireless to work. So i say- what did you do???? It's got keyloggers galore!! he says he didn't know and then he added that he didn't intentionally load anything on. Good 'cus I was actually thinking he'd load something to get passwords or track my internet. So I replied- jokingly that I do all my secret internet stuff at work anyway so it wouldn't have mattered.

Then we get into bed. We talk about our days (yes I avoid the talk). I mention about school and how my principal complimented me on my job and stuff. H then asks if I looked at the pay scale for masters' vs PhD. I reply I asked my boss. H reiterates that it's only 500 dollar difference between the 2 and a lot more work. I reply that my boss basically said the 2nd masters is a waste degree- it's worthless. The pay from the school district isn't the difference, it's the jobs outside the district you can get in addition that the PhD gives. H again says about the work. I again say- so after 10 years of being a principal what would I do if I was bored? Nothing with a masters I'd be stuck. With a PhD I could teach at the university or go into something else. H says it's a lot of work. I reply that the work difference is about the same as the pay difference- about 20 page difference in thesis.

cha-ching

my plan tonight is to thank him for folding the laundry- I should have done it last night, but I was pissed and didn't want it to come off that way. And then suggest that we find a better solution to where everything is and how the laundry is being done because the way it is now is not meeting my needs. In fact the way things are right now, I don't want to come home at night.
