I'm not helping?!?!

My darling husband had a major health scare a while back - not the big C but you know wonky numbers on some blood work.  You would have thought the world was ending.... ANY way... we're now a couple of months down the road, he's packing his lunch, I'm getting lectured DAILY on good eating habits...

Let that one sink in, his wife who had 6 months of doctor and dietitian visits, went through gastric bypass surgery and then a whole other ball of wax is now being lectured on diet and eating healthy.  I won't mention that the person doing the talking is NOT the person doing the shopping, the cooking, the additional prep work -- etc.

Last night is a prime example, we had pasta - his approved pasta with protein and extra whatever.  Fine.  I made it, with jarred and doctored red sauce - I am not exaggerating when I say he ranted and raved for the better part of 10 minutes (until I opened my book and ignored him) about "not supporting his efforts"  and "I needed to shop better" and "pay attention to what I am doing - this is serious".

Now I say again -- this from the man who's only contribution to the evening meal is eating and bitching about it.  I swear one more word and home girl is cooking for one - he can figure it out himself.  After all he knows it all --- right?

The other funny part is last night he's telling me 1) not to go nuts with the stuff for our get together on Sunday and 2) starts planning the menu.  yeah... Ok pumpkin - go sit over there and hush up.  Aunt Ing has got this - if we rely on you to deal with life little details we'll be eating 3 lettuce leaves and string cheese.  No.  I got this.

I am reminding myself he's leaving next week - I will SO enjoy the peace and quiet.  I think I'll have steak - every night. 

Additional bonus -- I am doing the lodge meal next week - it will go 6000 times easier without Bubba home.  I can shop, prep and get stuff done without having to justify, explain or dodge "lodge crap" discussions -- it makes life so much easier.  

Work is seriously dead right now -- so I'm searching for other stuff to do -- making work.  ;-)

All right enough whining for a Thurday.
Later!!
