I prefer lime in my diet coke: A Little Rant About Fish

I'm in a bad mood....I've been in this mood for a few days now, and I can't seem to shake it.? There are a couple reasons for it but one is my husbands collection of fish tanks.. First I just have to say..I have nothing against pets or people who love their pets...or animals in general.? I just personally am not a pet person, and my husband is. (If you haven't noticed or if I haven't mentioned it...Todd and I are opposites in pretty much every possible way).? I also never get a decision in what animals come into my home.? They just kind of appear.? Over the years we have had dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards....Right now my house is filled with Fish Tanks....12 full of fish..fish tanks. Excessive...ya think?!?? We also have a dog and a recent addition to our pet family, a hamster. But my big gripe is with the fish. They started appearing about a year and a half ago. The tanks range in size from very small to very large....At one point I swear every other night when I went to work I would come home and low and behold another one. Now my house is not big...everywhere you look you see one of these things...and I HATE IT!!? The problem...my husband still thinks he can handle taking care of all of them.? Oh my gosh...he seriously is going to make me lose my mind.? I can't get rid of these things, and I don't have a clue how to take care of them, and I don't want to take care of them.? They stink and I hate my house right now.? This weekend I mentioned I spent 3 hours at a pet store.? Todd then spent the entire weekend putting one filter in one tank....the ENTIRE weekend.? Further proving that 12 fish tanks are way too much to handle....but don't try and tell him that.? He pushed his body so far this weekend that today he can barely function....thank goodness he is finally sleeping.? I've said before I try really....really hard to be patient with all of this. I know his fish tanks make him happy even if the rest of us in the family can't stand them.? I would totally be ok with one fish tank. But combine an addictive personality with OCD and this is what you get.? I realize I'm sounding incredibly selfish...I've even written this post 3 different times and deleted it only to write something else. Because I'm just ranting, there's no purpose to this post other than I'm just in a crappy mood and I would really like to feel better.

So...for now...until I can convince him to start getting rid of some of these things.? I put up with fish tank supplies all..over...my..house.? Mostly in my kitchen....all over my counter. And I put up with a lot of fish...in various tanks...all over my house. {sigh}... Some days I just hate everything...
