Piecing with PATIENCE

[totite]

Hi there. Thanks for stopping by Pam, Cathy and Deb.

I don't know why that hit me so hard yesterday, but then I read my Cainer horoscope for today and think hmmmmmmm:

We are now approaching the end of an era. Venus is leaving your opposite sign. That's going to make an important relationship less stressful. A certain someone has been hard going lately. You have not found it easy to talk to, work with, or understand this individual. They seem to have been feeling similarly frustrated about you. Somehow, though, you are both bound together by an inescapable commitment. This burden will soon become much easier to share.

Today is one of those days when I want to believe in this kind of thing. Now last night, I may not have.

Last night my H brought kids back and then helped S5 clean up his room. (This is a new side of him and I really appreciate it and tell him so) I had the wrapping paper box stashed under his bed as it is the only one it fits under heightwise.

Well, they took it out a week ago to find something and didn't put it back. So last night H told S to put it in our bedroom. I told him why it was under S5's bed and he said he thought that maybe it was just in there because of the holidays. Then he put it back but I could tell the whole episode bothered him.

This is indicative of one of our issues. He comes in and looks around and makes judgements about something without asking about it. Last night resolved just fine I think, but I wasn't able to follow up to explain how this type of episode makes me feel.

That is when I get a sense that he has a specified criteria of how our home should look or we should behave and something that is what he is basing his return on.

Well, I have enough on my plate today and this week without worrying about him. I can't control him and can only do what I need to do on my work project, the kids, the house, packing for the weekend trip, etc.

Does anyone else ever feel that way?

I'm off to check in on some of you now
