After 3 long years, H is home - II

[GoingForward]

Haha! My emotions are rising to the surface causing me to be emotionally unstable.

Look out, H! I'm about to go postal up in here!

And it's almost that time of month.

PMS and IMS in the same household - NOT a good combination.

[MichelleLT]

Hahaha. I'm running away to So Cal!

[GoingForward]

LOL!

Ya might need to take cover even farther than that, Michelle!

[GoingForward]

LOL!!!

My sister just sent me this:

SICK LEAVE

I urgently needed a few days off work, But, I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave.

I thought that maybe if I acted "Crazy"

Then he would tell me to take a few days off.
So, I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny noises.

My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing.

I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb, So, that the Boss might think I was "Crazy" and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked, "What in the name of good GOD are you doing?"

I told him I was a light bulb.

He said, " Yo u are clearly stressed out."

Go home and recuperate for a couple of days."

I jumped down and walked out of the office...

When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her, "..And where do you think you're going?!"

( You're gonna love this....)


She said, "I'm going home too. I can't work in the dark."

Been thinking all morning.....

This Saturday is our (11th) anniversary.

H and I have not acknowledged it since 2005.

I'm not so sure getting a card or a gift is something I should do, unless there's an anniversary card out there that isn't the least bit mushy.

I'm certainly NOT expecting anything from H, especially with how things have been these last several weeks.

How about getting a blank one and writing something a little less mushy in it. Maybe about how much you admire the things he has done for himself over the years, how he has grown (lots of good WOA even if you don't appreciate all of it) how you like his spontaneity (read unreliability!) his passion (read emotional/irritable!) etc. I'm mean, I know.

Do it with no expectations. Let him decide what happens with it. But I think since he has moved back home it is important to acknowledge things. Ignoring the date completely was probably appropriate the last 2/3 years, now it seems like it has the potential to cause more emotional rifts.

lol. You are mean...and SMART!

I also think it is important to acknowledge it, without expecting him to.

[GoingForward]

LOL! Funny!

Ignoring the date completely was probably appropriate the last 2/3 years, now it seems like it has the potential to cause more emotional rifts.

Was thinking this, too.

I think I'll go shopping for a card, see if I can find the "perfect" one. I've bought blank ones before where I wrote down something more personal for him, but I don't know if I have it in me for that this time. I'll see, and I might just go ahead and get him a little gift to go with the card.

Like I said, I don't expect anything from him. He's working everyday this week including all weekend, so I know he won't have any time to get or do anything for me. If he says he's sorry (about not getting me anything), I will let him know that I understand how busy he has been.

[MichelleLT]

Sounds like good plans all around. ((((GF))))

[Sugar and Spice]

I would go ahead and get him a little something and don't expect anything in return. Its a way of extending an Olive Branch.

I understand how you can sometimes just be so frustrated that its easier to keep it going than try and be nice to someone who is being an ass to you...so hard. I have the sam issue.
