Spycraft.

Yesterday my hubby patched the hole in the roof with aluminum siding( shown here) to keep the squirrels out and he did a good job( the 29 YR old also helped him) but in doing so he also tore down my vines and refused to put them back up even when I asked so now it looks like this, as always damaging, disrespecting, and disregarding my stuff.

Hrrrrmmmmmpppphhh!!

I also heard Russia had a prisoner exchange with several countries, incl. a married couple that are Russian spies and their kids had no idea; they didn't even know they're Russian and don't even speak Russian and never even heard their parents speak it, and, in fact, all this time thought they were from Argentina and just speak Spanish and had no idea until they were on a plane to Moscow, and it reminds me of those American teen brothers in the same situation that had no idea their parents were Russian spies either until the FBI raided their house one day and arrested the parents! It's quite common though, esp. with Russian spies; as a deep cover to settle down in domestic life getting married and having kids and blend in the neighbourhood and no one has any idea, not even their own families.I still laugh too remembering when I was a kid and tossing my cousin's dog his plastic pink dildo toy( honest-to-God it actually WAS a real actual dildo!) saying, Go on, Hobo! Go get your dick!  and my mother was horrified and admonished me for using the word "dick" and I told her, What? That's what it IS! and it surprises me now even more that no one even thought to ask me at the time how I even knew what a dick looked like as maybe then  they would have discovered I was being molested...

Yesterday was also perfect weather: sultry but hazy but I could still feel the warmth of the sun but it wasn't oppressively hot so I was sweating like a pig so I was able to stay outside and suntan all day and the 29 YR old had jiu-jitsu and today all the guys have Games Night at their friends' house so I get a nice quiet evening home alone just Buddy and I  and last night the news came on 15 minutes late as they had this redneck fighting thing called UFC on and when I put it on just before the news they were in round 4 and I had no idea how the hell many rounds they have  or how long until it ended and when it would finally finish( it turned out they have 5 rounds 5 minutes each, totally 25 minutes which isn't that long but I guess it is when you're getting the shit beaten out of you, and then with the interviews afterwards it still took forever) and I was so mad; they should have just cut it off at 6 pm when the news was set to begin, and I heard a mechanic at a local auto shop here was killed when a car he was working underneath fell on top of him and crushed him and another worker is in critical condition and too bad they can't just flip the cars over upside-down and work on them that way instead and then not have to worry about the hoist thing gives way.

My sunflowers are also dying now and my asshole hubby snarked, Maybe if you took better care of them they'd last longer? even though it has been a week already so how long does he think they'd last, but always critical and blaming me for everything and he also criticized the way I load the dishwasher,too, that I'm "lazy" and don't scrape off the dishes off right and how I put the knives in the "wrong way" etc.and I told him if he doesn't like the way I do it then he can just do it himself, and I load it and put loads thru but it's still not good enough, still never good enough, never enough, and then he says I "can't take any criticism"  and he's "just trying to improve the way I do things" but I'm tired of always being criticized  all the time my entire LIFE and no matter what I do or how hard I try nothing is ever good enough and he thinks I'm "lazy" what about himself? The other day the recycling and garbage had been picked up and he went out 2-3 times  that day yet still never brought the empty bins back up onto the veranda but just left them out there on the curb all night even though he went right by them several times. His excuse was he "didn't 'notice' them" and it "didn't register."

Yeah, for him there's always a reason but for me I'm just "lazy?" WTF?

I also had a good moment yesterday as well. Once again my hubby thought I liked dill pickle chips even though I've always hated pickles and you'd think after 36 years he'd know this and sour cream & onion have been my fave. my entire life so then he goes, I thought you hate onions too so how come you like sour cream & onion chips then?  so I replied, Well, how come YOU hate tomatoes yet still like tomato soup?....BAZINGA!! and it was just so perfect; so perfectly timed, so perfectly enunciated, so perfectly accented, it was priceless and both him and the 29 YR old laughed and just then  I knew that I'd just had my Moment and it felt sooooo goood.I also don't know which is harder to believe,either: that I actually gave birth to 11 kids or that as adults they want nothing to do with me anymore.

 My mother said before that they also had an "Olympics" at her LTC home,too, and she won Gold for target shooting and said she's a "good marksman" and I've always been  a really good shot,too, and there's also a photo of a woman at the home on the door too saying to watch out for her and to not let her out as she's a "wanderer" and it makes me laugh as it reminds me of the FBI's Most Wanted posters.HA! My hubby also seemed "miffed" that I told him he has to get me thru the gate(and then he can leave and go do whatever until it's over) for my concert since the ticket's on his cell phone and I have no idea how to work those things and with MY "luck" I don't want to take the chance I'll do something  wrong or it won't work and I can't access the ticket andf I'll be left stuck out there refused entry.
