Early Parole from the MLC Chain Gang?????

[MHL]

I screwed up and got sucked into an argument with my wife just now over the phone.

I am off all week as I am preparing for some special guests to arrive this Thursday for a long weekend . Today, I have a parent teacher conference with my son's teacher, and my W will be there also.

So I get a call from her about an hour ago, and I let it go to voice mail as I never want to be caught off guard by what she might say, plus it gives me time to center myself before I talk with her. Well it did not help this time.........

Her v-mail was to confirm the parent/teacher appointment later today and she said she wanted to "ask" me something else. When I called back it was pleasant and I told her how our S was home sick today but getting better. After that she asked if I could take our S10 back on Sunday morning b/c she got free tickets to the football game, (Panthers suck this year, so who cares).

Told her I could not b/c I have very special guests coming intown and I will be returning them to the airport on Sunday at various times. She said well then she would get the new roommate to watch S10 while she went to the game. Wife rents a room in a house that is shared with the owner of the house and one other lady, son hates it over there and there are no friends and nothing for him to do while she is at a game for 6 hours!!!!

I said that I am not comfortable with this and said that I don't agree with it. Well that is when the "fit hit the shan". We put on the gloves and went at it. Mostly her attacking me, and me defending myself instead of using the "I am sorry you feel that way".

The conversation ended up her hanging up after I asked what time she was going so I could come get our S10 and bring "Him back to His HOME!!!" (probably could have worded that differently but it sure felt good at the time) I did drop a few truth darts (more like "truth grenades") on her, and I hate to say it but it felt good.

I am not feeling regretful either right now, maybe it is the "Good News" call that came in while me and the W were having it out, more on that in a minute.

Well now, she has texted me twice. First text reads....

Don't change your plans...I won't go

second text 13 minutes later,

Just let me know u got the text. I gave the ticket away. Don't change ur plans.

I have not responded and I am inclined not to. Problem is I have to see her in about 2.5 hours at 2:40 EST. I am thinking about not going at all but I really need to make sure I know what is going on with my S10's advanced class.

UUUUGGGGGHHHHH If I go I will have to ignore her as I don't think I could engage her in any rational conversation, she is freaking NUTS!!!!!

This comes at a time when I am cycling and honestly I am growing tired of this. More on the "good news" in another post.
