Let me just add that I've NEVER had this much conversation about over trying to watch a movie! (realizing, of course, that I'm the one who threw a wrench into everything)
Yes you most certainly did, next time we aren't going to work around you. It is never this much work when it is just Karen and I. Maybe I should start a thread just regarding movies/date and times. Seem like alot of work to add a couple of boys!!

Hi, Karen. I didn't see anything truly confrontational in your email.
If that's the extent of your rebuffs to your H, then he's got nothing to honestly complain about. Especially considering how he's treated you to begin with. I think it shows how kind and truly inoffensive a person you really are when you feel this response to your H might have been too much.
I think that it is funny, I can write something either e-mail or on paper and remember feeling so mad/hurt and yet when I re-read it later it doesn't have that feel at all. Maybe I am too nice.

Hey, each person added increases the complexity exponentially. Don't turn it into a boy thing.
Karen, if that email is the meanest you can be, you need to take lessons.
True, so we won't just blame you boys! See, I wasn't trying to be mean at all, just really sent that email without thinking expressing an honest thought (I really should try to wait on some of my emails. Yeah, I usually do nice and funny emails to H. I don't think he does have an honest right to complain!
When I told H Thurs. in your heart you know I'm doing my best now, he didn't argue or say anything I think b/c he knows that's true. I think he's actually kind of fighting me trying to have his independent life guilt-free, and I bet it's hard for him sometimes! I've got the house looking good, me looking good, I'm a good, funny person. He showed up an hour early the night I went out to see who was picking me up! So I think he does still have some feelings for me--don't know if they are enough though of course. And he would have to change a lot too, now at this point!!! I don't want to live with a grumpy yeller anymore!!! (And I don't think Puppy would let me either!) Karen

Kat, yes you are too nice!!! But please don't change!!! Karen
Ok, I know I shouldn't but I'm a little excited about Father's day. We didn't have a lot of extra money this year (barely any) so I came up with the idea of giving H a basket of his favorite things: a weird combo of Blue Corn Chips, diet cokes, and Snickers candy bars! I bought the chips, my son the cokes and my D8 the candy, so it was a group effort (but I'm going to say it was from the kids of course!). Do you think that is too cheesy?
Plus, D8 made H several art objects at her art camp this week which she is going to give him also. It cracks me up b/c the sculpture piece she decided to give him (supposed to be an animal she says) looks like a male body part if you know what I mean! Priceless-I hope I will see the look on his face when he gets that one!!! Karen
