Frustrations...

Ok, so today is going to be somewhat of a rant session, but I promise, not all will be doom and gloom.

I will start with my darling husband... cough cough, when he's asleep he's a darling anyway. lol.... No, just kidding, he is a fantastic loving daddy and husband, most of the time, but boy can that man have his moments! Take for instance, last night, I need him to get me some Panadeine tablets, and he was full of attitude and brought home a pack of Panadol Back and Neck tablets... "who are these for" I asked, to which I got the response "chemist was closed so I got these".... well that would be great if I had a sore back or a sore neck!!! Men!! Which got me thinking about the differences between men and women.... I don't know if ALL men are the same, but the majority of the species is, they just don't seem to be able to listen... I can tell Shane something and no shit, 5 minutes later he doesn't have a clue, it is soo infuriating, it is the main cause of any arguments we have... which thankfully is not very often these days, another thing I have learnt since having Aidan especially, is learning to, well, let me rephrase that, trying to learn to pick my battles... which I will shamefully put my hand up, and say isn't an easy thing for me, I tend to be totally oversensitive or overreact at times, but I am improving, I have always been stubborn, and have always had a severe lack of patience, another side of me which has improved a LOT since having Aidan, but could definately do with some improvement lol.
But all in all, Shane is a fantastic, loving, and caring (when he wants to be lol) father and husband, there is absolutely no greater joy for me than seeing my 2 boys together, laughing, giggling, smiling, it is the BEST moments!
But getting back on topic, the differences between men and women, I've mentioned the fact that men don't listen, and yet us women listen with very careful consideration of anything and everything that was said, and I can guarantee a lot of us, me included, can replay that conversation, whatever it was, a long time down the track and remember every detail, well the important parts anyway. lol. And you know what, it's some of those times, I wish we were a little more alike, because there are a lot of conversations, I wish I didn't remember, and wish I was as carefree as Shane is, but then if that happened who would remember to get the milk, bread, toilet paper etc...

So I guess as infuriating as our differences can be at times, we both create the perfect balance for each other, Shane is carefree and easy going, I tend to be the one who makes the decisions, and keeps everything moving along... and that is one of the things that does make us  good team, now if only I could get him to get on a good team- Geelong, it would be a serene house! lmao!
