Exhaustion and Dishes

If you are wondering why most of this post is in cap letters it is because the cap letters are me yelling!  I have been exhausted (for lack of a better word) because exhausted doesn't cover what I am feeling.  P-nut has been a sleeping disaster, I am trying to not give in to her wanting to nurse = sleep is b-a-d!
So last night I fell asleep on the couch at 8:45 pm, Bear was next to me, yup, you read right, no one brought him up to bed, I did, when I woke up at midnight...  Hubs was watching a movie in the basement at that point, last thing I remember was the phone ringing and hubs saying, if she wakes up I will have her call you which could be tonight, or tomorrow.  I checked the caller ID this AM, it was K, just as I thought and that was at 9 pm.  So I get bear in bed and crawl into my bed.  At 2:30 am I hear P-nut over the monitor...  I wait, maybe hubs heard...  NOPE!  Monitor downstairs was off.  I get her and cuddle in bed with her (yes judge away she came into my bed).  Hubs comes up to bed at this point, I say "Hi", he asked why I was up...  Uh, COULD IT BE THE SMALL CHILD THAT IS NEXT TO ME BABBLING AWAY??? 
At this point I am so awake that we begin to have a conversation...
H: "What are you doing tomorrow?"
M: "The laundry, food shopping, folding what I didn't do tonight, cleaning up the kitchen since the sink is overflowing with dishes, you know, my norm."  "You?"
H: "I don't know, yeah the laundry pile in our room is nuts, at least it is clean.  Do you want me to take the kids to Sunday school?"
M: "You going to be up at that time?" (of course I am thinking to myself...  If you are going to make a comment about the clean laundry that is not folded why didn't you just do it while you were watching a movie...)
H: "Sure if you wake me."
I stopped talking and went to sleep.
I came downstairs this morning at 5:30 AM watched Real Housewives of DC and then started to do the dishes.  I HATE THE DISHES.  IT IS THE ONE THING I HATE DOING IN THE HOUSE, IT ALWAYS NEED TO BE DONE.  HUBS SAYS "LEAVE IT I WILL DO IT WHEN I GET HOME", LIKE HE SAID YESTERDAY BEFORE LEAVING TO GO FINISH A JOB (he does contracting work on the side, he works really hard, it is all to benefit our family and I am very grateful). HERE IS THE THING, I LEFT THE DISHES IN THE SINK YOU KNOW, FOR HIM, WHEN HE GOT HOME, HE GOT HOME AND DIDN'T DO THEM, I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE DONE THEM LAST NIGHT, NOPE!  MAYBE I AM OVERREACTING BUT HELLO, YOU STAYED UP UNTIL 2:30 AM WATCHING A MOVIE AND COULD NOT HAVE EMPTIED THE DISH WASHER?  YOU EVEN COMMENTED LAST NIGHT WHEN WE GOT HOME FROM DINNER HOW YOU COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY DISHES WE GO THROUGH!!!!  SO OVER COURSE I CAVE IN AND DO THEM...  GUESS WHAT I AM NOT DOING TODAY, I AM NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE PAPER TOWELS!  WE HAVE ALWAYS GONE ON THE, WHOEVER TAKES THE LAST PAPERS TOWEL, TOILET PAPER ETC. REPLACES THE ROLL!  I DIDN'T USE THE LAST PAPER TOWEL, I AM NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE ROLL!  HA, HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT HUBS!?!  WOW, I need to grow a set of balls because clearly that is going to show him.
I'll see if he replaces the roll by the time I get home from Church, I am assuming he will not be up to take the kids to Sunday school!
*Sorry to vent, needed to get that out.
