Peace and quiet!

Listen.......
not a sound.....
not a peep!!

Faith has gone for a sleep over at Nanny's house and I am being treated to a night at the cinema!
Well, I say being treated, what I really mean is I suggested it. If I hadn't it would just be another night in front of the telly.
So until hubby comes home I have peace and quiet, now then... what shall I do?
All I can think is what house work needs doing. How depressing is that! Why cant there be more to life apart from house work (and scrapping of course, but scrapping doesn't count because its a necessity, house work isnt)? Why, as a parent, do your priorities lie with the house and everything else fades into the background. Is it the same for men? Silly question, of course its not!

The biggest eye opener I had was being taught about power and oppression by a feminist sociology tutor for my criminology module. I never realised how second rate women are. The simplist things like advertising are aimed at women because they will be the ones left to do the shopping. Its absolutley true!! A friend of mine got so fed up with having to do all the food shopping her self that she refused to do any more till her husband went with her. They did no food shopping for three weeks!!! It was only because they had ran out of alcohol that he finally gave in!

I dont want to sound a complete feminist, I dont hate men, I love them, especially hubby but they dont make it easy for us. Hubby very often makes comments that I take as offensive and he cant see why I get upset. Bless him, what would I do without him? (less washing and ironing for a start!)

I Won a Prize!!!!

I won a runners up prize on ukscrappers for my 'f is for fun' Lo!

One ticket to the alex for the stamp and scrapbooking show. Now I have to convince my sis to come with me (think I may have alreay done that just by mentioning it) only trouble is its a hundred miles away and although route finder says it will take two and a half hours hubby has said it will take ages and has really put me on a downer again.

I am really having trouble getting a hold on the depression this month. I thought it was getting better, not even worth mentioning but this month it has been a biggy. Maybe because I am feeling a little flat anyway it has compounded, plus being stressed about money.

I cant wait till I am earning again, while at uni has been the only time in my life I have been out if work. I even temped in Debenhams on the perfume counter once to fill a week inbetween jobs. I hate not earning. Hubby said it may take six months to find something when I finish, why is it always different for men? He says its ok for me to be out of work but not for him. Why is that??

why do men put different values on things? It would be handy if they were from at least the same species as women!!
