Okay, so what not to do, aka, how to end a conversation quickly.
I asked DH what his schedule looked like this week. He said "specifically?" and I said "Thursday for Music on Main" He said you're not going with the girls? I said no, GF's DH is in town and they're going. He asked why I didn't go too and I said "because I'll feel like a 3rd wheel." He asked about other girls nights I had planned and i was talking about some of the girls I was introduced to and DH started complaining that GF always talks about other people. She does. So I got kinda mad and said "you want me to GAL and then you complain about who it's with?" I also complained about being the 3rd wheel and I'd planned on taking the kids instead. He was having a beer... poured it out and left.
He also griped earlier in the day that I didn't remind him that DS was getting his braces off. I said it didn't matter because he was going to look at a house at the same time and couldn't make the appt anyway and besides, i thought he knew. He said he wouldn't have gone, but would have liked to have been reminded.
And I'm gonna gripe here... He brought over his sheets and some dirty laundry. I also had some of his dirty laundry from this weekend. I got it all done and folded. Bought him a couple of laundry baskets (so I could have one here and he could have one there and we could swap in case I couldn't do a same day turn around. I asked if he needed anything from the store and got him milk, soda and few other things. I never got a thank you. Not a one. I'm just a *itch.
Oh and DH wanted to take DS to dinner to celebrate. There was a Hooters grand opening and I suggested he take him. (3 out of the 5 of us like their wings, but I've never actually eaten there.) Anyway, so *I* suggested he take him there even though I'm scared to death DH will come away with phone numbers. But I did it anyway and took myself out of the equation.
Appreciation? What's that?
Don't sweat it... I'm not totally down. Tomorrow is a new day and I'll pull myself up like always and make it a better day.
Thank goodness for this place. There's no way I could hold all this in.
