WHG: Chasing that rabbit with the pocketwatch

[workinghardguy]

Seriously... My w is nuts... That's all I can figure... She worked tonight. I made a point of getting all my downstairs stuff done before she got home so I was upstairs in my bedroom packing for my trip when she got home. I hear her get home. I do nothing except keep packing.

After a little bit I hear her come upstairs and I'm in the closet picking out clothes. Then I hear her call out my name, so I say "in here in the closet". She then stands in the hall and starts talking about just random stuff. At one point she complains that she's getting fat and lifts up her shirt to show me her belly. I keep packing during this. Finally I just say that I have to concentrate and finish packing so I really need to be alone. She apologizes and then keeps talking. Wtf?

I point it there's still dinner from the kids downstairs... That gets her to go away. I then head down because there are some genuine things I need to tell her like our s is sick, our SD is faking sick, and so on. She uses this as a chance to ask me where she should open a checking account... Like I give a damn... I tell her as much, open where you want for goodness sake. Then she hands me her phone and asks for help with a hangman game... I'm just trying to relay S's symptoms. Then she's listening to the kid updates while looking at photos of her friend's new baby and tells me "thank goodness my tubes are tied... These give me baby fever something bad..."

It's like trying to talk to a dragonfly who's flitting around the pond... Drove me nuts! She then starts telling me about this duplex she's looking at... I finally just stop here and tell her that I need to finish the kid update and go to bed. She finally got her February work schedule but honestly I don't think I could handle more with her tonight,

And it wasn't even antagonistic or anything... Just the opposite, it was like we're a happily married couple... But we're not so can we stop acting like one? Geez... I know people will say I shouldn't have engaged her, and I really tried not to. Being upstairs has always worked in the past... She's never come seek me out. Then again, I've never actually had the willpower to not go find her. But tonight it wasn't hard... I didn't really want to, however she came and found me.
