Get me on a smoother ride........Need Advice

[SueS]

lwb & NoD-

I have one friend that understands. The others would tell me to leave. I try not to involve family...especially his. Mine aren't happy with what H has done, but they understand that I'm a big girl and as long as I'm happy, they'll be happy for me.

Our D3 is feeling much better. I'll be able to go back to work & her to daycare tomorrow. Whew!

Stick with me on this part....Our Direct TV has been out. A tech came on Monday and it went back out again that night. We called on Tues to get someone here.....H was furious because we'd been waiting for 2 weeks. Then he was even more mad at me because apparently he expected me to make calls to get it fixed even though it's his deal/passion. Then he was even more mad because I handed the phone to him to push them to get out here earlier than Sat. One of my faults is that I'm not a very assertive person. That bugs him at times. So, they came back out today & told us that Monday's tech really goofed things up. I took it in my hands, calling the company & demanding they fix it at no charge. H called us tonight to see what we were doing & how D3 was. I told him that I was cleaning. He asked why. I said....so I don't have to do it this weekend....or I mean...so it doesn't have to be done this weekend. We talked for a few minutes & I did a.......Oh, by the way, I called Direct TV and.....I proceeded to tell him about my conversation & my demanding things. He gave a "nice job" kind of laugh and said...that's great. I told him....I know you want it fixed before football, but at least I'm getting it done the day after it starts. I guess being more assertive is a goal I need to put out there for me. He seems to like that in me. He said he'd talk to us later. I thought to myself......this time I'm going to slip in a "love ya". To my surprise, just as I was saying...okay, love you, he was saying it too. I had to chalk that up as a positive. I haven't heard it in at least a week.

Well, D3 needs a bath. Fun stuff!!

Have a great night.
