As women, I think we can admit that occasionally we become a little wound up/grumpy/stressed/emotional. It seems to be one of the main differences between men and women. Men do all of these things too, wellmaybe not getting emotional, but the difference is they don't realise they're in a grump. Well The Bloke doesn't, and from a few quiet conversations with other like minded wives, I've discovered that there are other's just like him!Last night was the perfect example. The Bloke has been working all hours due to unforeseen circumstances landing us one worker down. He arrived home around 9.30. 14 hour day. I knew he would be tired.Trying to channel the 1950's hou

Yesterday after work, The Bloke decided to go out fishing. He's not been for some time, and I believe he was having what they call withdrawals.I was happy to hear of fish when he finally arrived home around about 10pm last night just as I was doing the lunches. The fresh sea air had taken a toll and he was [___________] that close to falling asleep on his feet. So I took pity and threw him a piece of steak in the frying pan and whacked together a makeshift salad on a plate.By the time all was devoured he pondered the idea of whether or not he should fillet his catch or wait til the morning. I convinced him that time was getting on a bit and the morning would be the better option. You se

I don't get much 'me' time. In the morning after dropping Pocket & The Legend off, I quite enjoy my half hour or so (depending how fast drop offs go) of hearing nothing but the birds, the jug boil and my fingers typing.Things didn't go as per usual today though. As The Legend and I walked down the drive for school and headed into the alleyway, I heard a familiar sounding ute. It was The Bloke. I gave a slight wave and continued walking assuming he'd just forgotten his pager and had shot home to collect it. Wrong! He was on a mission. He'd apparently brought home an instruction manual to read through a year or so ago. It belonged to a high end item we sell wh

Looking to the future, I suspect, The Bloke and I will be one of those lovely old couples who seem to get on really well. There will be a secret reason for this. Sleep. I suspect, The Bloke and I will be one of those lovely old couples who have their own bedrooms. I'm thinking even our own 'wings' may be a good idea.The Bloke has had an ongoing annoying cough and man flu on and off for a few weeks now. He's a snorer at the best of times but obviously with the nasties thrown in, it amplifies this ten fold. So he's been banished to the spare room, and I have no shame in admitting that I have a much better sleep without him hacking away next to me!Isn't that terrib

If a tree falls in the woods, but no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound? The age old question. I'd like to add to it if I may...If a Bloke snores at night, but his wife is a heavy sleeper too - does he really make a sound?From time to time The Bloke drives me bonkers with his snoring, but I do wonder if it would be so bad had I been born with the 'falls asleep the minute your head hits the pillow' gene. You see, not only does The Bloke snore, but he has this uncanny ability to fall asleep the moment he lays down. It's insane. I'm at least a good 15 minutes before my body completely relaxes and even thinks about starting to drift off to sleep - so you

It's official. The Bloke has flipped his lid. Ok, so it's not as cold up here as the south island, or even further down the north island, but this morning we did have a frost. Crunchy white lawn, icy deck - nothing really worth a photo essay, but cold enough for us beach dwellers non the less.So while the rest of the town snuggles up warm inside on this wintery day, including our household, The Bloke and a few other keen punters have gone diving. DIVING! Of all days to decide to go, they choose today. Well they can have it. I couldn't give a rats how beautiful the scenery may be down some many feet below. There is no way in hadies, not even if I was triple wrapped in a wetsuit

Yesterday I discovered a drain overflowing outside my kitchen so I headed out with my faithful wooden spoon to try and unblock it, It's the drain from the kitchen so everytime I used the tap/wastemaster it overflowed more, the drain was so blocked that my wooden spoon broke, I found the broom and poked the handle in but no luck so I found some gloves and fished around to find what was causing it, My hand found the drain FULL of what felt like cake mixture.... It was crammed with food obviously from our wastemaster _ rather unusual especially as I am extra careful about washing everything down really well, By the time I fixed it, it was dark so I left it until the morning to clean up.

I couldn't do it. I just had to pull something out of the freezer for dinner. I'm not going to be here tonight but I didn't see The Bloke with the cook books out organising dinner for him and the kids.Truth be known come 5pm he'll start thinking about ringing up for fish and chips. Then, at about 6.15 he'll think "oh, one more ad break in the news then I'll ring up". 6.30 will roll around and by this time The Bloke will be wondering why Pocket and The Legend are losing the plot, it will then dawn on him that he perhaps should have rung up about fish and chips when he first thought about it. He will then take to the pantry to see what he can conjure up

We so often moan about our mens shortcomings or complain to them about things not done (or not done properly) and forget to remember the good things they do for us and how special they are. My dear Husband reminded me this weekend how kind he is by bringing me breakfast in bed and caring for out daughter so I could rest and try get rid of the flu. I so enjoyed having the rare chance to just lie in bed and sip my cuppa and think, I listened to him loading the washing machine and dryers up and giving her breakfast and just thought about all the special things he does for me - all the love letters he's written over the years and the flowers he brings home for a surprise, and

| It drives me crazy

I have been lacking motivation recently to get exercise. I decided that listening to music while I walk would help. Last weekend my phone died so I replaced it with a phone with a MP3 player. I asked Hubby if he could load some songs on my phone for me. After lots of not so subtle reminding he finally did last night.Today I go for my walk. I was excited to have music and found I had a bounce in my step and walked at a great pace. The only problem was I could only find one song on my phone. The ironic thing was the song was "She drives me crazy." After having the song on repeat throughout my entire walk it was starting to drive me crazy.Was Hubby trying to tell me something with that song?? D
