W took the kids to church this morning. A bit of a surprise to me as she did not say she was going to take them (she usually tells me they are going - as a hint for me to go?). Well, it is what it is. By the time I woke up, it was too late for me to get ready. So, I will read my Bible, have some coffee, and check out the boards.
W seemed withdrawn this morning. All she told me was about some entries she updated on our budget and how much I owed on my car that was rear ended yesterday. She's so warm and fuzzy these days. Sorry, just kidding.
I noticed from my in-laws being here for Christmas how enamored they are with money and the price of things. How much this car or that car costs. How cheap they bought a bag of chips. Man, let it go. Do you really know what is important? Really?
The point of the budget is to note how consumed she is with money. I understand wanting and needing security, but she seems to take it to a different level. And if she isn't happy about the $$$$, no one's happy.
And I don't understand why money for her seems to be THE most important issue. Right now, maybe it's all she has left since she has given up on our M.
As concerned as my W is about money, she does not appear to be looking for A job. Instead, she's looking for THE job. Well, if you want to help out with money, find something that will help US.
A bit of a rant this morning. Some due to being left out of church (I know, I can take them, but we have gone sporadically at best lately). That's ok. During our service, there is a part where the congregation exchanges the "peace" where people shake hands and spouses actually, kiss each other (Wow), and that part of the service has been awkward ever since the bomb. She usually solve that issue by sitting in a seperate pew from me.
P.S.: After writing this post, the thought came to me that if this is what my W values most in life, why would I want to spend the rest of my life with her? And, I don't have an answer other than I wouldn't.
