Well I promised to blog...

I don't know where to start really. Deep down I want my marriage to work. I really do. I believe in marriage as an institution (I think!) and I don't believe in throwing it away at all costs.

So why am I that close to leaving my marriage? W does not look like he is going to change. We had a huge row this morning over laundry. W decided that the practical way of doing it was washing his things and then separating the rest into piles for different people. And then further separating according to soiledness! So we have a 10kg washing machine and he wanted to do 11 different small loads! I suggested we do it in 5 loads- not totally full loads, but manageable loads. He decided that since the 5 laundry baskets were full of clean washing he would take it all downstairs in grocery bags! I suggested he empty the clean washing. Another row. So I emptied the baskets and put the stuff away- 15 minutes. He told me it would take hours. I then sorted- black synthetics, other synthetics, light cottons, dark cottons and hangables. He complained that his underwear would be washed with my clothes! Ooh! Girl germs! I told him that if the loads weren't too full then they would wash! He doesn't agree! Look, I tried to reason with him. I listened to his point of view but when it all came down to it I got the impression he was only doing it to irk me.

He is getting better in keeping the kitchen clean and actually cooked dinner tonight (Chili Mac) after I misread my roster and had to be at work an hour earlier than I thought. Miss I thought it was really yummy. I had a taste when I got home and it was nice! It is an easy recipe and one which I will include in my other blog when I get around to it.

I am pissed off at work. I was told I would be working 40-50 hours per week in the lead up to Christmas. This week I was rostered for 30, and worked an extra 5. Next week I am rostered for 24.5. I will try and get some Sunday hours as I am not rostered on yet on Sunday. They have just taken on a truckload of new casuals. Everyone is complaining. I just need the money.
