I am thiiiiiiiis close to screaming.

All day I have done the following (in a 103 F heat index, mind.)
* dragged 400 pounds of decomposed granite to my truck, then up the stone steps and into my back yard
* moved all of the flagstones along the 60 ft. fence
* raked the ground smooth.
* spread 200 pounds of paver sand, raked that
* spread 300 pounds of the granite, because I gave up from the heat
* had water, went back and raked that smooth
* started re-laying the flagstones

The ones laid are level and gorgeous. I came inside to cool off. The Mr. fires up the smoker for a brisket for tomorrow and dumps the large mass of charcoal coals onto my beautiful decomposed granite and flagstone path because, and I quote, "What else am I going to do with it?"

PUT IT IN THE GEE DEE GARBAGE YOU NUMB NUTS OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU BUT I AM SO TIRED OF THOUGHTLESSNESS. He says he'll "clean it up." Yes. He will. (But he shouldn't have done it in the first place!) >:(

My biceps were quivering in sympathy by the time I got to paver sand. OMG, Mr. Stoney!! Did you turn to him, mascara-streaked cheeks, and cry, "It's like you don't even KNOW me?!" Because I would have.

I am going to Dad's tomorrow to clean the funk of 40,000 years (okay, 15) and if somebody comes in and sands or primes or putties (they're doing renovation) I'm gonna smack a bitch (possibly with a 400 lb bag of decomposed granite. Not that I know what that is. But it sounds lovely in a pathway).

GAH! I would have lost it and screamed at my husband for doing something like that. Also, this heat already makes things difficult.

Sorry about that, Stoney. *lots of hugs and watermelons*

I love your icon. I have days when I feel just like that.

OH
MY
GOD

That he is still breathing is a testament to the generosity of your heart.

My husband decided to top off my week - which included 23 hours of meetings (no exaggeration, it really was that much), a sick cat (like we may have to put him down sick), a job interview, extreme finacial difficulties, and massive physical pain - by breaking the g.d. washing machine. I love him with all my soul but OMG why would you overload the washer?!?!

WTF. Does he know the internets were praising him for his hotness just days ago? Does he think that gives him a free pass???!!

I am speechless at the WTFery.

Oh. No.

...maybe he should write lines. "I will never watch my wife work hard all freaking day in horrible heat on a wonderful project and then ruin it in five seconds" to start? Say 500x. And he should get you a spa massage gc. Seems fair!

*uses distracting icon**hands you a watermelon margarita*
I commend you restraint if my girl did that I would be digging a shallow grave. LOL

Oh god oh god oh god. All that heat and work and lifting and raking, I'd have just burst into tears.

But... but... he's PRETTY. ( ;

Arrgh. So frustrating. Why on the *path*? That's just baffling. Not the same level of *scream*, but i get *awfully* tired of finding trails of coffee drips from coffee pot to...wherever.

I did not know that granite could decompose.

How are you not dead from all that lifting, etc.? And how is Mr. Stoney not dead from being an idiot?

(hugs and back rubs to both of you)
