Hi Everyone..
Hope everyone has had a nice family day.. a yummy dinner and some choccies of some kind. I did not get any chocs or a card or anything. Not a big deal really but the thought would have been nice. I of course got the "kids" a little basket of goodies..as big as they are they still look for something on easter morning..I even got hubby his fav. Cadburys Creme Eggs and starburst.. his fav. candy. I cooked a ham, macaroni and cheese, sweet corn, hot rolls and a Strawberry cheesecake for dessert. I just took Ryan to work and am now reading about everyone elses day.
It's been a funny sort of weekend really. Hubby went with our friend to his new condo that he bought at the beach to help him carry some furniture upstairs..they were gone for 7 hours and when they came back told me they had been at the bar on the beach sitting on the deck enjoying the sun and a few cold bevvies. My feelings were hurt. I LOVE the beach and would have loved to have gone with them but someone has to be responsible for getting Ryan to his job. Sometimes my hubby can be really selfish. he always gets to do as he pleases with no worries about kids or responsibilities...he will pick Ryan up or drop him off IF asked but never thinks about it other wise. he seems to just be able to as he pleases and I am noticing a lot of the things he does do not include me. We do not do much as a family and it is starting to get to me. I am tired of spending weekends on my own. I did enough of that when he was away. I am sorry for the pity party but it's how I'm feeling today.
The weather took a turn for the worse temperature wise but at least the sun has been shining...I did sit outside for a little while yesterday and read my book.
Enjoy the rest of your Easter...

Happy Easter!
heck we cant even consider sitting out sid in winter coats it is so cold maples dead pansys dead its cold adn snow on the ground it sucks.
yes I her a lot of men who just dont think about thier spouces need for freedome too.
You need a talk about your lifestyle, unfortunately men don't think like we do and unless you spell it out he won't realise what he is doing. Get in first with plans and if he says he's going somewhere make sure you go too.

Oh Lyn, happy easter honey! I'm sorry about the hubby stuff. My problem is in the other direction dammit. I have to battle to do stuff ALONE! I love you my friend.
Oooooh that would have me miffed as well! Not fair. I hope you let him know how you felt.

The beach?? Oh, now that would SERIOUSLY piss me off but that is because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the beach and if hubby had gone without me...I would be mad. But, the beach aside...it's funny because I WISH my husband would get some friends and go out and do things with them once in a while and leave us all alone for a little while! (lol) If I plan something...he'll go. Otherwise, he's a homebody. Gets on my nerves and sometimes I'll make plans with just my girlfriends and leave him home. I get tired of enteraining him after a while! (lol)
((hugs))

Maybe he has to be retrained a bit, eh? I bet it never crossed his mind that you would be mad when he told you about his nice day. Heres a nice Cadbury's Easter Egg for you! Oops sorry, just ate that one! Hope the day improved. Hugs, Terry x
I've found out that I have to ask James to do something. I wouldn't wait for him to do it on his own. I have found that men don't take hints well and I also know that you might just have to sit down with your hubby and let him know how you felt. He may not have even thought that he hurt your feelings. I've been married for 22 years and I know now, I have to speak up.. I know it's hard...but we as woman/wives need to... it's the only way. Lisa
I have found the answer! As women - we want wives like us! We want a husband who thinks like a woman... and what do you think our chances are of finding one of those???...lol. I am sorry you are having a down day, I hope it improves - you could always eat one of his creme eggs...that always makes me feel better! Loved the pics!

I can relate to how you feel. I told Rusty one time that while he was having fun playing marine and traveling the world, I was at home raising children! I do hope that you have a great week.

I do know how you feel. It's easy for them. I think that military husbands get a bit spoiled when they are home and take alot for granted in some ways, but we do miss them when they are away. so maybe they deserve it. You deserve to feel special too though...after all you are the one who manages to keep the home fires burning and enables them to do what they do and still have a family waiting when they get back. ((((HUGS))))
Oh well, I appreciate you even if nobody else does! You go girl!

Eat his cadburys creameggs, that'll teach him. Hope you're day perks up. B. x
I hope you have a talk with DH about your feelings. Since he is male he may not even realize he is being selfish. They do not think as we do. The food you made sounds so good and i am glad it was a good Easter over all.
LOVE, lisa jo
yes i have one of those, hes building a computer so most weekends hes off bargain hunting.Beckie.xx
I agree with Lisa Jo that blokes don't think the same as we do but, like B, I think eating his Creme Eggs sounds fair enough - WHILST sitting on the deck, by the pool, in the sun, reading a good book.......shall I go on? lol - Angie, x
Men suck at times. But as others are saying he might not even realize...have a talk with him and see . You need some "me " time.
Big hugs,
Ellen
Lyn and ladies who read this blog, this is a guy thang! And unless you tell them how you all feel, they, we are blissfully unaware. Guy's don't think they are doing anything wrong unless it's pointed out. So in future, all yas have to do is ring, and I will whizz round in an open top and whisk you off to a beach bar, where we can both oogle the crumpet and get chatted up and giggle like dimented school girls LOLOLOL OH HOW GAY!!!
Gaz xxxxxx
So sorry to hear you have not a the best of days. Reading outside is one of my very favourite things too there is nothing to beat it is there. Hubby reads his newspaper but I love a book. Hope things are better today. Love Joan.
Lyn I agree with most of the comments already voiced ~ Men just don't think sometimes ~ you will have to sit him down and have a good talk with him ~ otherwise you will get so angry you will blow your top at him ~ and we don't want that do we !!!!! Ally x
Hope things turn around.....and I hope you did enjoy some of your day...

I'm sure your weather is still better than ours. It's only 40 degrees. I'm so darn cold!! Have a good one.

Cheesecake must be a new Easter Must lately. I've read several blogs that stated they served that for Easter dessert. I wish my husband enjoyed it, as I love it. Yep! Husbands can be pretty self-absorbed, can't they? Boy, do I hear you when you talk about being the responsible one!

Hi Lyn,
You are so cute. Before my Mom passed away no matter how old we were she always made us a basket, even when I got married to Bobby! LOL Of course Bob and his boys got a basket too. Too cute & funny. Your a good Mama.
I am so sorry I am behind on comments. You would think being home with a broken foot that Ihave all the time in the world and I do. But I'm in a "boot" as of yesterday and much happier about that. I will post an update on my journal about everything today. I'm not out of the woods yet with this foot though. Time will tell. At least there is one good thing: my Ortho is a babe!!! LMBO
Huggers,
Gayla
((Lyn)) It sounds like a wonderful dinner :) I'm sorry you didn't get to go to the beach... truly. Hugz, Teresa
Your hubby sounds like a typical bloke ~ I hope that he will realise what he's doing without you having to bring it to his attention though.

The dinner sound yummy ... as I sit here still eating left overs that were yummy.
As for the husband situation, one thing Sonny is teaching me, if I want something TELL him so he knows otherwise he is as Gaz even mentioned - blissfully unaware. Men!! LOL - yet we gotta love em.
Monica
Happy belated Easter!
All I can say is MEN!
Hugs,
Gretchen
Hope you had a happy Easter!!!!!!!!!! Your dinner sounds so delicious!! Hugs,
