Ticks me off, too. Never in a million years would have thought my H would have felt that way, but this was back when he was having his EA; I swear he was comparing me to her. Or some other "dream" girl he didn't have. Or his DINK friends, like his boss who is the CTO of the (big) company and his wife who's partner in a law firm.

Not only does it make me mad in general, because whatever "smarts" we are not using we are making up for by using compassion and other important attributes, but I wasn't just a SAHM. Last year, with another Mom and a teacher, I wrote a federal grant and secured $91k for our school for a three-year program, I sit on the steering committee of a regional non-profit AND I was appointed to a city position by our city council. It's not like I've been eating bon bons and watching soaps. In the past I've held BOD positions on other non-profits, this isn't something new.

AURGH. I am seriously ticked off. Then my daughter says, "Hey Mom -- ANTS!" and the kitchen/family room is crawling with them. "I told Dad this morning, he said he'd take care of them." He didn't. The floor has crumbs all over it, there's food on the counter and the table's dirty from breakfast. Not that big of a deal on a regular day, but not on a day where there's ANTS!

So, I'm off to clean up the ants. Somehow.

JERK.
