Last night I was scrubbing the kitchen floor when wife came home from work. That is when she mentioned the "pizza dinner". She also mentioned (casually) that my present will probably not get here on time because she did not get to order it until late because she was helping son with his homework. I said "you did not have to get me a present.. You are my present"... This is one of the many things Doc is working on. KEEPING REMARKS TO HIMSELF.... Another one is not being selfish. In my reading it said that if you only do things for others or do things when others ask you to when it is convenient for you,....then you are being selfish. Night before last during the rain.. We were attacked by ANTS... It was getting real close to my bed time.. When Wife mentioned we needed to get ant stakes.. I said I told her I would get them in the morning.. She said I hope they don't take over by then... I said well I could go get them tonight and she said I think that is a good Idea....so I went.
Yesterday I made some Pork Fried rice for dinner. After dinner wife told me that she had some things to take over to her mom's if I was going over there anytime soon. (MIL has been getting "lonely" with this rainy weather) I told her I could go to her Mom's house after I finished eating and I could take her some Fried rice.
My point is I am trying to do things for others even though I don't feel like it. I mean I do things anyway that I know needs to be done. But I have to admit that if it is not convenient.. Most of the time I let it slide....
And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
I'd say Sara is referring to MIL since she is taking you to restaurant where in the past it sounds like you would be getting lucky.
Thanks Hope... Not sure with Sara sometimes... She often "hits my cage with a stick" when I am off base so.... Women..... Don't know why they think us thick headed men can read minds....

Didn't know I was so cryptic. Yes, I was referring to MIL as Mom. And I was saying that MIL is trying to help you succeed in your goals. Maybe she doesn't know what your wife thinks of when she thinks of that restaurant, but then again, maybe she does. I would say that MIL is on your side.
I need to apologize to you. I am sorry but I was thinking that you were making a remark about my Wife bringing up "son has never been there" about taking me to pizza on my birthday. I know my wife's actions annoy you.
I was signed up to take tomorrow off but so much work came in that I do not think when they are doing lay offs that it would be a good idea right now so I am going in for 1/2 day.
I have been having "attitude problems" in my R. Wife seems to be coming right along with my changed approach. But for some reason I am having a hard time going with the flow. Having a hard time keeping the "smiling face". It’s hard not knowing if she is happy because she thinks I have given up or just happy. I guess is does not really matter though. I think I may go for broke and see if I can try for some small physical contact. (Holding her hand walking from the pizza pallor). We will see how the night goes...
