Living with an Agoraphobic WoW Addict

This is my diary, a record of what it's like living with a partner who has
Anxiety Disorder and Social Phobia and how it's affecting us.

What week are we again?

Ok, so it's been a week and I haven't found time to blog. I've been online, but don't like blogging if I'm going to risk DP finding out LOL So, this last week... DP was doing pretty well early on. Tuesday and Wednesday he did some dishes... one day he got out and said he tidied up some of the shed, which was really him throwing stuff on the crap pile. I told him I wish he wouldn't do that, add to that pile of crap. It's been there so long already and all he's done is make it bigger. So he won't do it again, he says. He talked about getting a skip bin, but they are so expensive. I suggested slowly putting what we could into the bin for collection but he says there's never much room after our normal rubbish goes out. So today there looked to be heaps of room, so I've stuck an old monitor from the crap pile into the bin.

Let's talk about Thursday and Friday though, I remember them being similar days and I intended to blog but got sidetracked (as happens a lot to me) I got up around 7am both mornings, Thursday DP was up already on the computer, Friday he slept longer. I did some dishes, put on a load of washing, hung out what was in the machine and bought in what was outside. DD5 got up around 7.30-8am, DD2 has been sleeping much longer. I think on Friday it was 10am when she, DD17 and DS 13 got up! I spent both mornings trying to sort out my craft cupboard. I've got some folders and have been putting patterns and things into them so I can find them. I also found stacks of stickers and embellishments for scrapbooking that I've tried to put together... they are everywhere! I've still got a way to go but I think I accomplished heaps. DP did next to nothing. I think he got lunch and tea. Friday afternoon I took the kids to my mum's, when we got home DP said "Spaghetti on toast for tea". Yuk, I really hate that, it's not very healthy. We'd had nachos for lunch Thursday, so actually the kids made that, and pizza for tea. Then leftover nachos for lunch Friday for me and the kids, so I made that. Actually DP was only making his own lunch - salad! So I made tuna pasta Friday night, and I washed bowls for us too because while we were gone DP didn't do the dishes.

Saturday morning I didn't do much, I got up later I think. I was taking the kids to the cinema at 11am and spent some of the morning chatting to my sister online. I had intended to blog then LOL DP had decided not to come with us saying he had cleaning up to do. Not that he did much. He did some of the dishes but this morning there was a days worth of mugs and cutlery in the bottom of the sink that I washed! We came home around lunch time, ate and then the kids wanted to go to the pool. I wasn't really in the mood but went anyway, you do these things for your children right... not that DP understands that. He can be so selfish! So we came home after about 1.5 hours and DP was right where we left him - on the computer. He'd decided we'd have spaghetti on toast, I said I hate it, so he got DD17 to put some soup in the microwave for me. It was much nicer than spaghetti out of a tin anyway LOL

Today has been a nothing day as well. I got up about 8.15am because DD2 had been wide awake at 5am and DP was snoring. He was asleep in his chair when I came out. I did some dishes, found all the cutlery in the bottom of the sink. I filled the rack twice, drying inbetween. DP never does that unless he gets DD17 to dry. What I left needed a bit of a soak. I went and had a shower, then must've had breakfast and sat on the computer for a bit. Mum got here at 10am with the lawn mower so DS13 could do our yard. I think it was midday when she left after doing some dishes. DD17 was cooking mini pinwheels for lunch so I ate then spent about an hour and a half trying to get DD2 to sleep. I've since been to the supermarket and that's been all I've done today. Mind you DP hasn't moved from the computer and TBH I am waiting for him to say he's going for a nap. He hasn't even had his salad for lunch. Sunday was going to be bathroom day, maybe I should try to motivate myself to at least do that. Will try later I think, I have no motivation to do anything right now. And why should I? I did bring in the washing before DS mowed... it will need folding and putting away. Such a never-ending cycle.
