Still use it for our business. It is a widely known number and we have lots of cleints that know it. To tell you the truth since I have been giving her my attention now, I do not think OM is in her mind anymore.

Anyway....Some what not to do....

This past week has been a headache. This past weekend was our daughter(15)birthday. We discussed that we were going to take her and some friends out then drop her off at the mall so she could go get a pair of shoes. Everything was going ok till we got to the pizza resturant. I ordered for D, her friends, and W. I declined to eat, because an extra friend tagged along and was going over what I could afford. So we sat down to eat. W already looked perturbed. I saw it and really didn't want to get into anything so I sat quiet, Well, during this time D got something in her eye and scratched it up bad. So I decided to get up, leave, and take off next door to get some eye drops. I returned and W looked angry. She asked if I wanted to eat, which I declined and said I was OK. You need to eat, as you only touched 2 slices. She said no, she was full.I knew she was lying.

So everyone finished up and we left for the mall. We dropped off everyone and as soon as the door closed, W started.

"You are grumpy."

I got aggitated and said "I was not, do not tell me how I feel." ( W has done this a few time before...telling me how I feel, this time just got to me.)

She said "you didn't eat and made me feel like a fool for eating." I asked "How?"

W said "That you never discussed that you wern't going to eat and that I felt like a fool cause I ate without you. Then you got up and left."

I said that no one discussed with me about the extra person comming and we couldnt afford it. I also left to go get eye drops, what is the big deal.

W went off to say that it was rude and you never change. Then the past 10 years yadda yadda yadda. Which I replied that I was only did that so D and her friends could eat, also get the drops for her eye. Why make a big deal out of it. You now ruined the rest of the evening.

W stormed out the car and walked to the mall. I sent a text asking if we were going geocaching as planned. She replied yes, and came back. We argued further, as she didnt drop that I was grumpy. Which I explained over again not to tell me how I feel and i was not grumpy. I dropped it as that and asked for directions to the cache. We finally went out for a bit before D called back wanting to go. So we drove home and as soon as everyone left, W started again on how I acted. This went back and forth a bit. I later apologized for getting up and leaving the table with out saying anything, as it was rude. I also apologized for snappping at her in the car. But I did tell her that it was not my fault for supper nor what you had to say to me in the car.

(Need to validate and talk more and not easily get frustrated on what W blurts out.)

End of this day....

and next my Tuesday.Its gets even better. /end sarcasm

Any other pointers?
