Just frustrated

I am really frustrated this morning. The house looks horrible and Sue just seems content to do nothing about it. I would be more than happy to help if she would just get off of the couch and ask. The kitchen is horrible and stuff is stacked everywhere and I have no earthly idea where most of it goes as well as stuff down in the den that she has stacked. I do not dare touch it because if it falls, I get yelled at am tired of that crap too.
I have a feeling that she is depressed as well as has some fairly serious sleep apnea and wish that she would do something about it. Our insurance will not cover gastric bypass surgery and I think that would help her out greatly even though I do not think she is emotionally ready for that kind of radical surgery as well as commitment to what it takes.
I just felt like I needed to vent and writing in my blog definitely helps that tool

A little frustrated right now

I think that this title says it all. I am a little frustrated with my sister-in-law right now. I cannot stand her holier than thou attitude right now. I sent her a story about something in the newspaper this morning and her reply was just wrong and in a nice way I tol her that her statement was horribly judgmental and then she got started in on my wife's attitude and I think it stemmed from Sunday night when he and Sue were fising the chili and he just did not have enough spices or sauce in it and Sue who cooks much more than Scott ever does was trying to tell him and trust me, with what she was trying to tell him about the sauce, she was right and then I get this attitude where they wanted to knock her head in. I am sorry but they are really narrow minded and bigotted and I would never go to their narrow minded Independent Baptitst church too because I am sure that is where much of their junk comes from.
I do get really frustrated with Sue and am really frustrated with the fact that she will not get off of her butt and do anything around the house or for herself and that even includes exercising and eating better than she does, but that is just something that she is personally going to have to deal with her on her own.

Frustrated with Major

I was really frustrated with Major tonight. Somehow he got a expensive pair of scissors that were on the couch in the living room and chewed the plastic handles off of them. I really thought that he was beginning to settle down now that he has hit three, but then he pulls something like this. I was really strict and hard on him and am just going to have to be that way and to make sure that he behaves here in the house. I cannot have him continually tearing stuff up and I blame his puppy raiser and his area coordinator for this. I cannot blame the training staff at the school because each trainer has about 15 dogs in a string and they just do not have the time to take care of behavior issues while they are training the dogs, so it is up to the area coordinators and the puppy raiser to make sure that their behavior is spot on. I heard many stories of his great house manners and they have never really come up to the expectations I was given and that really disappoints me because his work in harness is great and really confident.

Back to the grind

We are definitely back to the grind again. Sue has not wanted to get up any day this week since she has had to go back to school, and I guess I cannot blame her too. She was sick the week before break started and then the week of Christmas, we ran just about every day somewhere and then she had the week after Christmas to relax, and I know that she felt like she had no vacation at all. I am hanging in there and still learning every day that passes what works now and what doesn't since my gall bladder surgery. I heated some hamburger steak too long yesterday and it dried the steak out and it bit me hard, but after taking all yesterday afternoon to get over it, I am fine now and will just have to watch what I am eating and how things are prepared.
It has been stormy here this morning and I am looking forward to a hot pot of coffeee here shortly.

Christmas is over

Christmas is over and done with for another year. I really love the season, but frankly am happy that all of the running around is done with. I went to my family's last Sunday without Sue because she ahd the flu all week long and we did not want to expose my dad to it because of all of his health issues and then later went back on Christmas Eve for dinner. It was really good and one brother had taken hiss kids to Charleston and had brought back a bushel of oysters which we steamed, and let me tell you, those things were really good too. We spent Christmas Day with Sue's mom and had dinner and brakfast with her brother and sister-in-law and then Friday evening went with the remainder of Sue's other brother's family at Ryan's and then went back to her mom's house for a while too. It got kind of tiring, but am thankful that most of the family live so near us that it is not that bad of a drive too.
It is nice and quiet here now and Sue is asleep. She has develped a cough this past week and has not really spept well all week and that really concerns me but until she decides to do something about it, there is not much that I can do too.

Sue is still sick

Sue is still really sick. I really think that she had no business going back to work yesterday, but she had an evaluation she had to finish up and one to finish up today but think that they are going to do a conference call alter on because she is frankly too sick to go anywhere.
We are supposed to be going to my parents house for supper on Saturday with the rest of my family and think if she is not much better that she will drop me off at mom and dad's and then go to the motel that we are planning on staying at and then get one of my brother's to drop me back off at the motel after supper. We just do not want my dad to be exposed to it if we can help it too.
