Thankfully this week I was blessed when my allergies flared up and I was just exhausted. My hubby picked up the slack and did some of my "chores" around the house. That isn't always the case unless I am bed ridden with sickness. It is a give and take but that doesn't mean it's easy. Thanks for sharing...nice to know that other couples struggle with it too.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06274178714212627397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-58542728047923101772010-09-18T07:40:48.757-07:002010-09-18T07:40:48.757-07:00Yup, Reyna, you hit it on the head.

In fact, he's even voiced frustration with friends and relatives to me because he'll give them materials to read for computer certifications and they don't find the time to read them! He drives himself at break-neck speed and has a hard time understanding why some of us are just not that motivated!<br /><br />Gotta love him though. He's a wonderful guy, very loyal, and he gets things done! Can't beat that!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515030663618274693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-59426902269344105462010-09-18T03:10:36.874-07:002010-09-18T03:10:36.874-07:00OK, I'll confess...I think I may be a bit like...OK, I'll confess...I think I may be a bit like your hubby. Although, I am good about blogging and keeping up on my blogs...this is like my "rest time". Telling stories about our life is "relaxing" to me. Actually, I have slowed down a bit since starting the blog and connecting with all of you.<br /><br />I am a person who usually has multiple things going at one. I like all those things to be "perfectly" executed and I think I hold the outcome of any project I undertake to a somewhat high standard. I also got from your post, that perhaps, let me know if I am mistaken...that your husband resents your "not as hard-working" personality. Please forgive me if I am wrong on that. I can say, I have definitely let into my husband for not working as hard as me around the house, with the kids, etc. I have been trying to change this about myself. I think taking it "easy" on here with all of you has helped me loosen up a bit in this department. Thank You.<br /><br />Great post btw.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-3830988316352683502010-09-17T22:48:44.258-07:002010-09-17T22:48:44.258-07:00My husband is one heckuva jobber, but when the day...My husband is one heckuva jobber, but when the day is done -- IT IS DONE!<br /><br />ME, on the other hand, feels like the work is never done. I'll find work -- even though I know the sun will still rise, I'm obsessed with keeping busy. It's definitely a character flaw in my case. I feel like I don't know "how" to relax....or I feel guilty, as if I don't "deserve" to relax. Hard to explain.<br /><br />Blogging has been a healthy outlet for me!!! I'd rather catch up on my blogs instead of reading a book....weird, I know.<br /><br />Lucky for me, the Hubs will step in and tell me to lay down. He'll tell me to sit down to watch a movie or tell me to forget about the laundry and just be still.<br /><br />Don't feel bad about falling asleep. When you're under the weather, you need to sleep!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-22105925241289029742010-09-17T21:44:01.321-07:002010-09-17T21:44:01.321-07:00Cindy, your husband sounds a lot like my husband&#...Cindy, your husband sounds a lot like my husband's business partner, and my husband is more laid-back like you. I should add that my husband is a very hard worker, who puts in long hours every day. He pulls his weight at the office, but he strives for balance. His partner is all work all the time and resents it when my husband doesn't work on the weekends, when my husband takes an hour for lunch, or when my husband leaves at 6:30pm to have dinner with the family (and I wish he would come home at 5 or 5:30!). His partner is very vocal about his resentments and is always making comments about how hard he himself works. Any way... My husband vents me to all the time in the same manner that you just blogged. His partner drives him nutty at times, but you know, he wouldn't trade him for the world, because he's an excellent businessman and an overall good, honest, trustworthy guy. Just want you to know that I understand where you're coming from. <br /><br />Don't feel badly about falling asleep today. Your body needed the rest. You're not 100% right now. And I bet your husband understands.Heidi / D-Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16203534776909805264noreply@blogger.com
