So in M's defense - I'm sure most of the time she doesn't realize it, and she definitely can't help it. But that doesn't make it any easier on you, or on my hubby. I'll try to pay more attention to how I'm behaving next time. I say that now, we'll see...Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168704988026789910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33290604.post-1161124031486476562006-10-17T18:27:00.000-04:002006-10-17T18:27:00.000-04:00I just realized that I used "right" in my comment ...I just realized that I used "right" in my comment above, when I meant "write."<BR/><BR/>Hello, duh...Hopeful Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339776324264791028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33290604.post-1161116998233750682006-10-17T16:29:00.000-04:002006-10-17T16:29:00.000-04:00This worked for a friend of mine...I tried to hint...This worked for a friend of mine...I tried to hint to S when I started my shots, but he never figured it out. Pediatricians and dentists learned long ago that icky treatments are made somewhat better with a cheap plastic toy. Reward every injection with fun goofy stuff from the dollar store! It might not bring HFW back, but it might turn UMW into SLUMW (slightly-less unhappy mean wife) for a bit. Temporary tattoos...princess tiaras and wands...<BR/><BR/>Just a thought! Good luck to you and Mrs. Smarshy!A.M.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08261014396340349808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33290604.post-1161111033590537572006-10-17T14:50:00.000-04:002006-10-17T14:50:00.000-04:00Oh boy... has she killed you yet?Your tribute was ...Oh boy... has she killed you yet?<BR/><BR/>Your tribute was touching but I have to tell you, if my husband would have wrote it (and I knew about it!) when his UMW is visiting ... he'd be reminiscing vicariously with his 'ol buddy Mr. Hand for quite some time.<BR/><BR/>It's not easy Smarsh, but it'll be worth it again.

But your HFW will be in and out enough that you'll know she's still there, in the background, really wishing this fucking shit wasn't necessary and wondering when it will all be over.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16771351540802344987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33290604.post-1161108779273089012006-10-17T14:12:00.000-04:002006-10-17T14:12:00.000-04:00When you right Happy Fun Wife, I can't help but th...When you right Happy Fun Wife, I can't help but think of that SNL commercial where they say "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball."<BR/><BR/>I hate being an UMW, but it is beyond my control, and if I knew it would end with a Buggins-like-creature at the end, it would so be worth it.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I don't have a hot weather pixie, but I sure would like to be on your blogroll...Hopeful Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339776324264791028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33290604.post-1161106962251282312006-10-17T13:42:00.000-04:002006-10-17T13:42:00.000-04:00LOL!

I have been UMW many times and (this is a secret and if you tell Mr Kir I will have to kill you..hah) while I was being cranky and unlovable I was missing my husband as much as he missed his HFW. <BR/><BR/>IF just sucks all the good stuff out of both of us.

But unfortunately we're powerless to stop it. And the worst part is that we're mean to the people we love most - like our husbands. And cats. (I've been less patient with Mr. Puck lately too.)<BR/><BR/>This stuff is hard. Really hard. It's no wonder that HFW disappears when it's time to go through treatments.Serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765237663006604157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33290604.post-1161104949114544342006-10-17T13:09:00.000-04:002006-10-17T13:09:00.000-04:00LOL.

I had a major breakdown last night. I was ugly, mean, sad, illogical etc. and all my husband could say as I cried on his chest was-"I know you're scared about the doctors and stuff, but it could still happen on it's own." I just kept on crying, but I really wanted to hurl the remote at his head and say "Look here buddy 20 months isn't a drop in the bucket and I don't need your lame ass optimism!"<BR/><BR/>I hope your lovely wife comes back very, very soon!Somewhat Ordinaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701338805685025735noreply@blogger.com
