as much as I detest pics of me, these aren't too bad, I guess.

DH in garden last summer, I don't know why I like this one so much, but I do.

Us at my son's home in November, Steph took the pic.

Another of us, taken by a friend, here in Florida.

No, you are not wrong to think he should change his work habits. Does he have a special reason to work such long hours at his contracting job? For example, is he hoping to build up his business so he can quit the firefighting job? Is he trying to earn enough extra to afford his dream home? If this situation happened between my husband and me, I would suffer through it if it was temporary and for a good cause. But long term, this is not a good situation for your children or your marriage. Children need time with their dad - time when he is not rushed or exhausted or in a hurry. And they also need some time with you when you are not exhausted. You have such a short time to have your children at home, to teach and guide them and establish a loving foundation. These years pass by all too quickly and he can never get them back (can you tell my oldest is starting college?). The idea of asking my husband to "help" didn't work out in the long run for me. I fell into that trap and am trying to get out of it. Perhaps not all husbands are like mine, but if my husband sees himself as "helping" me, he approaches things way differently than if he sees something as "his job" or "his responsibility". For example, if my husband is "helping" with dinner he will ask me what to fix, where the ingredients are, ask about the recipe, etc. If he owns the responsibility then he will decide what to cook and take care of it without my even asking him. It is exhausting trying to be the quarterback of the home front, and I do not want to ask, remind, plan, or check behind every household chore. A more formal division works out better for us - i.e. I cook and you clean the kitchen, or you do the yardwork and I clean the bathrooms. When your husband does housework or takes care of the kids he is not really "helping" you with the kids - he is "helping" himself fulfill the role he chose as father and husband. I hope you can work things out together. What an exhausting way to go through life - for both of you. Good luck!

I have to disagree with sheilaaus. It is much too busy for your granite. Your eyes would be on overload! I would pick up one of the creams in the granite. If you want to jazz it up, then do so with accent pieces. Look at the Finished Kitchen Blog. I have not been on since it has been updated, but hopefully you can see specifics, like others who have your granite and what they did. My kitchen is white, I have Grazia Rixie crema subways with my dark Giallo Ornamental granite. It is as busy as yours but different shades of brown, taupe and cream.

DH is out of his mind..... (2 pics)
Q
Comments (19)
Oh, he learned to pace himself 25 years ago with his first 4 heart bypasses at age 43. Breakfast is never a missed meal and he takes a break to do a blood sugar every 2 hours when he is working hard like this. Karen, the plans were discussed with the township, and this is allowed. It is the only option here as we have no storm sewers...the edge of the road is higher by about a foot than where the drain comes out and there is a shallow ditch between the road and the drain to channel run off water. It really doesn't seem right to me either, but the 'powers that be' say it is. A cute story that goes with this...A 9 year old next door neighbor boy (John was recently diagnosed with Aspergers Autism) when hearing of the upcoming dig that would start on Saturday, was really excited and announced that he was going to help with the digging. The start was delayed till Saturday afternoon due to DH's birthday breakfast out with DD and then we all did the Charity Heart Walk together. When we got home, there was a message on the answering machine from John wanting to know when the digging would start. He was waiting out in the yard with his shovel, a hoe and 2 12" inch rulers since 7 am! His Mother said that she couldn't keep him in the house, because he was sure that he would miss the whole thing if he went in. John did get to help. DH gave him a 5 foot strip to work in that was too tight for the tractor and he was delighted...for about 2 hours. It was hard work and his Mother said that is the longest he has stuck with anything that she could remember

DH is having a nasty reaction to Band Aids (pic)
Q
Comments (14)
I too am allergic to bandaids, adhesive, etc. I recently had a mole removed, told the doctor I was allergic to bandaids and to please use paper tape. He did, but,,,,, he sprayed where the mole had been with liquid adhesive..duh!! I had a horrible rash..I thought the area where the mole was had become infected. When I called him he knew immediately what the problem was. Never saying I'm sorry, I forgot...nothing!!! What was he thinking???? He told me to use a heavy vinegar solution in ice cold water and use a wash cloth to dip in the solution and hold over the area several times a day for 1 to 15 minutes at a time..... Maybe this will help your hubby. I hope so.

I think in the first one he resembles Corbin Bernson (the actor). In the second one he resembles John Glenn (the astronaut/senator). I love the third one with friends and you that smile shows a great deal about a man of character. Just my opinion and I think he is handsome too!

You look so friendly that I'd love to have you over for tea. And maybe I'd slyly suggest some picture taking of my kids so that I could have the nicest ones ever! LOL

Thanks for sharing! It's great to see you!
