    I know what you mean. we've been married 40 years next month, and I told my husband, since I said " I do" there's very little I don't!

    Isn't that just like a man. I agree with you I would not back down now and I would plan some more week=ends.

    Now I feel like a horse's rearend!! Hubby took me out for lunch today so he could explain himself. He said he really feels guilty since he isn't able to help much. He also said that he is afraid that with his health that these trips with the kids could be limited for him so he really wanted to go. But, then he saw that I was limping more (need to have my left hip replaced) and more the longer I worked, and he was concerned that if I kept it up that I wouldn't be able to walk at all by the time we left and that I would be in so much pain that I wouldn't have a good time. As far as having dinner early becuase he wanted to watch the Laker game, what he meant was that he wanted me to fix dinner early enough so that he could have the kitchen cleaned before the game started. He almost always cleans up the dinner dishes.

    Now I feel bad, I took his computer table without asking and said mean things about this wonderful man that I have known since I was 13 years old. We only lived a couple of blocks from each other and went to the same school. Married in 1967 when he was 23 and I was 20 1/2, you would think that I would know him by now. It was funny at lunch he said that he thought I should go fabric shopping when we get back as a reward for all of my hard work. Or that I should get something special that I deserved it. Of course I forgot to mention all of these posts to him. I just leaned over the table and gave him a kiss and told him I loved him. So, we are leaving thursday and plan on a fun weekend with our family and friends.

    Maybe I will buy him a new computer table. Whata ya think?

    Hugs,

    Gail-R , we know you love him and he loves you. We are all guilt of thinking bad things about our men. It's good to know that I am not the only person that considers sweet revenge!You both go and have a wonderful time will be thinking about you and praying that your health holds out for more camping trips and family functions. Sometimes a person just doesn't know to kick or kiss them.LOL

    Well, you might at least help him pick it out. LOL We all need to get out of joint once in awhile--it makes us appreciate the good things we have. If there weren't any mountains we would recognize the valleys. Sounds like you've got a keeper even if he gets aggravating at times. And one good thing came out of this: You let the rest of us vent out some frustrations and laugh about other's "solutions."

    Gail -

    Glad you are feeling better about each other.

    Even after umpteen years, the communication between couples gets a little iffy at times.

    Oh Gail....That is so darn funny. What are husbands thinking before they speak....LOL

    I gave up going on vacation. Now DH says, "I'm in need of a road trip"....He just got back from up north in Michigan. I had a nice time at home....To bad it was only an over nite trip.
    He loves to ride around.....That is usually what happens if I go.
    YUCK!
