I love Kevin I really do, but sometimes I just want to strangle him and get revenge for some of the stupid ass things he says or does. I mean he can truly be the most generous and kind guy I know, do anything for me, make me laugh and be the best father in the world, but then every once in awhile this mild mannered amazing man turns into an ass in plain English!
Like take last weekend, he did more than a few things to infuriate me. The first was on Saturday, when I needed more tampons. I was going to go to Target to get them, as well as look for deodorant for him. Off topic, but Kevin sweats more than most and uses a special kind of deodorant called Certain Dry to help him curb the sweat. Unfortunately I was unable to go during Lily’s dance class, because they were getting their costumes and I needed to be there to help her try it on. There just would not have been enough time for me to run to Target and get back for that.
Kevin, by the way, was home with Emma, who was for the most part on the mend, but we kept her out of dance class for one more weekend just to be safe. So when I did get home with Lily after dance, Kevin was going to go grocery shopping for us. I mentioned that I never made it for tampons or his deodorant either. Well, you would have thought I was asking his highness to buy gold. Seriously, he wanted no part in buying tampons, because god forbid anyone see him buying those.
First off, the boy saw me give birth not once, but twice and has been intimate with that part of me for years now. But too embarrassed and grossed out to buy them, when at Stop and Shop, he scans them with a gun and puts them in a reusable bag hidden away from all to see. He never has to have anyone else touch this box or even see it. But the big baby still can’t buy a box of tampons for me. I finally get him to agree to buy them, but now I have to take a picture of the actual box on my phone and then message it to him, because this way the photo won’t stay on his phone and he can then discard the message. Seriously!!
Sunday, brought bike shopping and more aggravation in the form of hitting up two different local Toys R Us to find the right bike for each kid. Emma kept waffling on which bike she wanted. First it was Pinkalicious, then Minnie, then Strawberry Shortcake and finally Disney Princess. Lily, thankfully knew she wanted Minnie, but it was either 10 inches (just right for this moment) or 14 inches (still way too big). Ideally we wanted to get 12 inches so she could have just slight room to grow into it. At one point, I was trying to get Emma to decide and I hear out of Kevin’s mouth, “Let her decide, the bike isn’t for you!” Yet again, the steam was coming out of my ears, but I backed off and let him handle it, because I was either going to murder him right there in the store or take a few deep breaths and let it go. Lucky for him I choose the second option. Again, as much as I love him, he seriously always thinks he knows it all!
Happy Easter..Here Are The Bikes!!And yet the best was yet to come with the icing on the cake coming later that day, when I ran back out for the Certain Dry deodorant that he was unable to find himself and a few other errands (including different colored Peep Bunnies to make my Easter Cake again) still needing to be run. I hit up three stores during that time and will admit the peace and quiet was definitely nice, but I knew he needed that deodorant. See he had an important presentation to give on Monday morning and knew with his nerves he would probably be sweating more that even usual.
I finally found Certain Dry deodorant at the last store I went to (Walgreen’s). Mind you I still hadn’t found all the color Peeps yet, but thought I had been out long enough, was happy that I had the deodorant for him and went home. I walk in and give him the deodorant teasing, “Don’t ever say I don’t love you, I went to three stores for this until I found it.”
Here is The Infamous Certain Dri Deodorant!!He turns to me and says pretty rudely, “Well, I don’t need it now. I am sitting on the couch, just put it away!” Then on top of that I found out as I was putting away the rest of the groceries I purchased that he ate the Blue Peep Bunnies I was saving to use for my Peeps Cake. So now, I had to not only find one more color of Peeps, but two.
And at that moment strangling is too good for him. When I told him I wouldn’t give him the deodorant until got an apology, he told me I owe you an apology, trying to be his cute and funny self. But guess what I got the last laugh and a bit of revenge too, because I wrote this post while I made him cook dinner all by himself for us!! So revenge sometimes is definitely sweet and tasty, too!! Also he did the dished himself and after the presentation twas indeed over old me that he had sweat through his shirt. Oh sweet, sweet (slightly stinky) revenge!!
And by the way, This was over a weekend ago (the fight is definitely over and in the past, but love my little blog where I get to vent a bit) and today is Easter. Love the pre-scheduled posts for days this this. Hope you enjoyed this post and if you do celebrate Easter, too, then a very, Happy Easter to you!!

Oh men can be so irritating sometimes. My husband has no trouble buying my lady stuff from the store, will walk in , grab it and swing the bag as he leaves. Our major issue is if he thinks he knows more about say a car or whatever. It will grate his SOUL to admit I was right about something like that.. grate his soul I tell you.
Janine Huldie says
Lol, I am so with you on my husband not wanting to admit he is wrong and can count on one hand how many times he has uttered the words, "I am sorry!!" Yes, he is stubborn and a Taurus, lucky me!! But seriously, I love him, but yes could so murder every once in awhile!!
Robin Rue says
If I had just told my husband that I went to three stores to find his deodorant and he told me he didn't need it now and to just put it away -I would have thrown it at his head. HARD. I'm dead serious, too. My hubby is awesome about tampons and stuff, though. I had a yeast infection once and I can't remember why I was unable to get to the store to get my own monistat, but he went without any fuss and told me when he got back that he even asked a girl at the store to make sure he got the right stuff.
Janine Huldie says
Lol, Robin. He isn't honestly so lucky I didn't chuck that deodorant at his head. I honestly quite enjoyed him cooking and cleaning from dinner and think that was totally just desserts!! 🙂
Rose A says
Wives everywhere can relate. 😉 Happy Easter to you. 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Oh so tru Rose and glad it isn't just me. Happy Easter!! 🙂
Ryan Naylor says
Absolutely foolish. What a disgrace.
Janine Huldie says
Lol, Ryan I know!!! 🙂
Bill says
I gave myself a limit of ten things to read this morning…of course, your blog was one of the ten. Happy Easter my friend.
Janine Huldie says
Bill, I am truly honored and sorry we went to my in-laws from brunch, but am catching up in between doing dinner with my side in a bit. Happy Easter right back at you my friend and hope you have a wonderful day!! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Totally understand and just a huge thanks for the share!! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Lol, Clark someone needs to speak for the Y-Chromo side and can't understand that!! By the way, thank you as always and Happy Easter back at you my friend!! 🙂
Kat Biggie says

erintheirishmama says
Luckily Joey has no problem buying the feminine products!! LOL… but there are other things that he does that I could kill him for.. but he made up for it today when Sean puked at dinner. I took off running and Joey came in to clean it up! I can't handle puke… Happy Easter
Janine Huldie says
Yup, I am with you on them pissing you off, but that doing something to totally redeem themselves!! Oh and Kevin is so better with puke then I am, too. Happy Easter Erin to you, too!! 🙂
Mod Mom Beyond Indie says
You know what I think it is Janine, I think it's all those TV shows and movies our husbands saw where some poor schmuck is standing at the check out and some cashier does a price check for tampons. "How much for the Playtex Gentle Glides, Herb?" haha My husband gives me a hard time about it too. Naturally, I still make him go. It's fun to torture them, isn't it? 😉
Janine Huldie says
Linda, you may totally be right about that and yes I totally agree it is just a bit fun to torture them, lol!! 🙂
Kristi Campbell says
Laughing out loud that you had to send him a photo of the right kind of tampons! i guess all men are uncomfortable with that. So funny! And WHAT to he ate your Peeps?!?!?! 😀 Happy Easter, pal!
Janine Huldie says
Lol, Kristi!! I know I still can't believe he ate those Peeps. And so true about the Tampons and most men in general. Thanks again and Happy Easter again Kristi!! 🙂
Justin K says
Hi Janine! I can't back you on the Peeps thing, but I can on the tampons! Seriously. That is something. The reality is no one cares what I am buying or what your husband is buying. If someone did notice they would probably think "what a nice husband", if they thought anything at all! Happy Easter!
Janine Huldie says
Lol, on the Peeps Justin and so true though about no one caring if he buys Tampons or not for me. Hope you had a wonderful Easter, too and thanks again for the share!! 🙂
Jason says
Linked over from Writing Pad Dad post. I was at a CVS late one night buying an EPT test. Lady asks, "How are you tonight?" I just tapped my finger on the box I placed on the counter and said "That's how I'm doing tonight." With three little ones (youngest 6MO), we were NOT ready for a positive. It wasn't and we good.
I'd buy my wife anything she needed. I checked my pride at the door years ago. I ain't buying porn, and yes, it would appear that 99.9% of check out people don't give two tampons of care as to what you're buying. So to any dude who might read,….man up.

Janine Huldie says
Jason, I know that feeling of not being ready. I got pregnant with my second when my first was not even 8 months old, but I will admit you do what you got to do and somehow it all fell into place for us. But I do remember that feeling all too well and can relate to you on that. Well put about the tampons though!! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and heading over to check your blog now, too!!
Kerri Ames says
HA! Why is it that they can watch a birth yet not buy tampons? One of life's great mysteries.
Janine Huldie says
I agree Kerri, it is truly one of life's great mysteries!! And sure we will never completely understand this one any day soon!! 🙂
Anne Kimball says
Men. You can't live with them, you can't shoot 'em!
Thanks for linking this up with the TALU, Janine!
Janine Huldie says
Oh so true Anne, so true. My pleasure linking up and thanks as always for hosting!! 🙂
kenyagjohnson says
Oh I would have been so done with him eating the blue peeps! But it sure was funny because it was do typical. Lol! TALU
Janine Huldie says
Oh I know Kenya. Trust me I was so ticked off, but then I just couldn't help, but laugh in the end, because it really was just so typical of him and many men in general!!
Dyanne Dillon says
It doesn't bother my husband one bit to buy tampons, he says, because everyone knows they're not for him. But he refuses to buy toilet paper, because he claims the checker then knows he's going to go home and take a sh*t….
Janine Huldie says
Dyanne, my husband will buy toilet paper, but the tampons he fought me tooth and nail. Finally cracked him this time, but still can't believe he saw me give birth twice and was complaining about this one, lol!! 🙂
