Alright, folks. I just wanted to give everyone a quick update so no one will wonder if I've found the edge of the planet and fallen off. Other than fighting a car that won't start all week, life is still pretty hu-hum. ( I do hate that car. I really, really do.) Hubby got the promotion needed so he, I mean she, can transition and start her one year of full-time living as a female. She's ecstatic, and I'm happy for her, but it's not so easy for me. I know that I won't see him anymore, except for a brief few minutes a day. To prove the point, she boxed up all her 'guy clothes' as she put it. Guess that truly marks the end of an era.

After some long talks, we both decided that once I have stable employment and tution safely set back, we will have seperate homes. I'm actually excited about that because I've never lived on my own. I know, at 31 and I say that but i had to live at home to take care of my mother until I was 22, then stupid me moved in with a guy and well, when that ended badly, I moved in with a friend (that friend turned out to be my hubby, but we were friends for quite a while before it got romantic.) So, on my own. It's proably for the best, especially since we will still be friends.  I need the space, I guess. And the best part is that I will only be responsible for me. Eat what i want, do the laundry when I want, whatever. Don't get me wrong, hubby isn't demanding of all this, but after being the housewife for all these years, I am a little tired of doing everything around the house, including getting the tires put on the car or getting it serviced. (And it's not even mine. His car, may I add.) Maybe I'm just being bitchy, but even when I am working full-time, I still end up doing all that. Cooking, cleaning, checkbook. Another sore spot. I keep the checkbook for the household account and pay all the bills out of it. Granted, he is usually the one putting more into it, basically because he makes more, but he's never fussed about that. But it sort of rubs me the wrong way the he chides me for not knowing how much is in there when I'm doing everything else around the house. Sorry, but as long as all the bills are covered and I know roughly what's in there, (i.e. no rubber checks) what's the deal? Don't like the way I'm doing it? Well, you're more than welcome to start doing some of this stuff! But, here in a few months, it will not be an issue unless I complain about myself! ( Just wait, I proably will...lol)

Guess I need to go. Hubby/roommate just called to tell me I need to find a wrecker to haul his car to the shop. *Rolling eyes and gritting teeth* Thank you everyone for tolerating my rant. I really am not this bitching all the time. Really.
