Last week 8/16-20 was perfect, left Bubba to his own devices, off to sun, sand, surf with Nana, Sis and niece... the sun was shining the hotel was ready and the beach was super beachy!
I won't get into sand in places... let's say there is happiness in a shower - and aloe lotion.
Sunday evening through Thursday afternoon - couldn't have been better. I was burnt, tanned, rested, well fed, and just happy... That all came to a screeching halt Friday.
Why do you ask? Work? Major problem? Health issue? Bubba?? If you pinged on the last options - you are obviously a regular visitor... of course it was Bubba - and it continues to be Bubba!!!
Friday we both took off work to go and look at tile and fixtures for the bathroom remodels... I'm learning I narrowed the search criteria leaving Bubba to an open door of endless colors - we'd still be at Home Depot. We hit two big home improvement stores, two tile speciality shops and managed to only have one minor blow up in between stores.. that didn't stop the 'I've already gone over budget" comments and all the grumping and complaining that goes along with anytime Aunt Ing spends money - ANY money and what Bubba deems 'necessary'.
Of course based on that he grumped the other day about the grocery bill. Well, pumpkin you can quit eating - knock you're self out. When he says that stupid stuff I just roll my eyes and ignore him.
The weekend - oh there was more wailing and gnashing of teeth about last weekend! I was gone Saturday night - basically 26 hours. I had to pay for a hotel room - in DC. Yes, I know I live right here - this was NOT my doing. But I didn't really have a choice but darling Bubba didn't see that, all he saw was me not home to cater to his needs, and of course spending money on Lodge "stuff" I ended up having a good time with the girls -- and by the time I got home Sunday Bubba was less - grumpy. Of course I was home to tend to needs - including a trip to the grocery store and dinner being made.
I had to call Nana on why way down to DC because he had me so mad and unhappy. Cripes.
I foresee this bathroom(s) remodel turning in a HUGE thing. Stay tuned for updates along the way...
This week saw additional fun, came home Monday to a broken front door window... Bubba completed the job by screwing up the rest of the door. I have said NOTHING while he has been fighting with this door. The door rolls up the screen into the top of the door, so you can have a half screen or full glass - he's managed to pull out both panes of glass, break the roll-y part of the screen, and leave nothing but the frame of the door hanging. Yeah.
THEN - he says to me, if this breaks again we should look into the whole door screen and window thing. Me: "Oh like the one I wanted in the first place?" Bubba: "You did? I don't remember that"
ME: detailed accounting of conversation with Window and door installer -- Bubba: Dumb look
I swear I'm going to start to video tape this stuff... but it might he held against me in a court of law.
Peace should reign this weekend, no plans, things will get done, life ... well Bubba will be happy - ish.
Stay tuned...
