This is not what I needed the night before our "family vacation". She was visibly irate throughout the night. In fact, something was off about her since she came home in the afternoon. Everything just ticked her off, and she pointed out many things I "should have done" earlier.
"Did you pay the bills?" Not yet.
"Did you call the school regarding our son's fund raising?" No.
"Did you burn the exercise program DVD onto my iPad?" (she nagged me several times today about this one) Not yet.
"Why did you pay for shipping on your Banana Republic order" (should be free shipping)? *sigh*
"Why haven't you packed yet?" I will.
"Why are you packing your clothes like that? You should be rolling up your clothes to save space. That's not the first time I'm telling you this." OK.
"This is why I hate vacations. They're so much work! I've only had one good vacation in my life!" (presumably talking about the week-long getaway by herself, where I suspect she spent days with the OM) I didn't respond to that one, but was thinking, 'yes, traveling with children requires extra work. Welcome to parenthood.'
Bottom line -- For whatever reason, my W was mad today, and I certainly didn't help the matter. Everything that I did "wrong" was magnified by her tenfold. The best thing that I did though was keep cool and calm. I kept a PMA throughout and didn't bite any of the argument-bait that was left dangling in front of me throughout the day and night.
