welp. H was in a poopy mood yesterday. I still let that get to me too easily. It started when I txt to find out what he'd like to eat when I was leaving church. well, I guess it really started with him txting me 3 times trying to reach me when I was still at church. So anyways, it ended up him halfway yelling at me about how he hates wendys fries and why would he want arbys fries when they'll be cold too. That rampage started the day before when we got Wendys and he complained about the whole meal and I was trying to be positive about it and he got mad at me instead. well, I said " okay lets just pretend we're poor and.." nevermind, I can't remember what I said. but whatever it was he got offended.

It really opened my eyes. I don't want to be like that, or my kids, and I know I was like that before.

Well, then I wanted to go to the store by myself and he was cool with it. But when I got home 2 or 21/2 hrs later he was soooooooo pissed. I text inbetween saying sorry it's taking so long, ran into a friend etc. he said ok. granted, I should have gotten back home sooner since I was cooking supper and kids ended up eating around 7.30-7.45. which I didn't think was aweful (we usually eat anywhere from 6-8), but boy, was he throwing a little fit. slamming doors, griping. saying things like he didn't believe me that I was only at the store. I didn't really want to talk because I had just been thinking in the car(after hearing a really good song-- you know the kind of song that really puts you in THE mood) and was gonna forget the groceries and take him to the bedroom... but boy did that feeling go away fast.

We ended up appologizing that night in bed... so glad.. he would never apologize before, it was always me, and then I told him about the song and what I was gonna do and he thought that was cool. well, so we made up. ;\)


I found a pastor who wrote "Complaint Free World". he challenges people to wear these bracelets and if they complain they have to switch the bracelet to another wrist, and do so everytime. The goal is to try to keep the bracelet on the same wrist for 21 days. Which is said to be the magic number of making something a habit. Doing something every single day for 21 days straight. So I think I'd like to try it. It was ironic that I had ripped the article out just the day before yesterday. Almost made me wanna say, here, read this! ;\)

I'm gonna get two bracelets, one for me and my s9, I think it would be good for both of us.
