Mishmash Musings

I swear, I get sooo frustrated dealing with my husband sometimes!! I stay at home all day M-F taking care of our son and dog, doing the cooking, cleaning, etc. So we have a deal that on weekends, my husband has to take over some of the chores. Specificially, he has to take care of the dog and cook at least one dinner (either Saturday or Sunday, his choice).

Anyway, my husband was playing Xbox 360 and I was working on the computer when I noticed that our dog was standing by the patio door, which is her way of indicating that she has to go outside. I told my husband that, but he said he just let her out a couple hours ago and that she didn’t really have to go out again, she was just waiting for her dinner. I said, “Are you sure? It looks like she wants to go out.” I mean, I stay home with the dog all day, so I know her habits and mannerisms. But my husband said he was sure, so I didn’t press the issue.

Well, wouldn’t you know it: 10 minutes later the dog peed all over one of our area rugs!! I had left the room to put laundry away and came back to find the mess. Obviously, I was livid because I had JUST TOLD my husband that the dog needed to go outside. All he had to do was open the patio door to let the dog into the yard, wait one minute while she did her business, and then let her back in. Argh!!!

So anyway, he had to clean up the mess (I wasn’t about to help) and it was all I could do to say “I told you so” only once. I get so frustrated when my husband doesn’t listen to me about things like this!!!
