Crappy Birthday-- VENTING!! - December 20th, 2004 at 06:20 AM
I'm always rushing around last-minute trying to get Christmas suff done, and because my b-day is in December, I usually spend most of the day doing Christmas stuff. I love Christmas, but get really weighed down by all the social responsibilities, and it all just crashed in on my mood today. All I wanted to do for my birthday was sit around, maybe actually read a book, have a nice bath, and go out to dinner with hubby. But no, he had somewhere he had to go tonight, leaving me to decorate the tree, meanwhile the house is littered with wrapping paper mess, all the gifts still to be wrapped, checkbook to be balanced and bills to be paid, and I am just disgruntled with housewifery in general. Can anyone tell me why women, in addition to bearing the children, have to bear the burden of 90% of the housework, bill-paying, family scheduling, and still are expected to buy and wrap all presents for both sides, do all the cards, and COOK too???
Really disgusted, cause this is the time of year when you should be counting your blessings, of which I have many, but I'm still in a crappy mood.
Sorry, just had to vent. baby crying, gotta go now.
