Seriously, I said to him, couldn't you put the pictures away for the three weeks we have left? And he answered me with that. This was a bit of a follow-up about how if he doesn't want to say or do something, he won't,
It feels pretty good to know that my (written) words got to him.
I'm hardly that strong or assertive, kayb, and perhaps my decision to forgive him proves that, but thanks.

Would many more specific examples of your jacka$$ery help you to comprehend my line of thinking? Or are you unable to move beyond feeling sorry for yourself?

I don't know what the right thing to do is, Saria. But I always hope for the best for you.

I tend to think you deserve more than you're actually getting. I want you to be happy, though, and you're the best judge of the path to that outcome.

happyface

Yes that one.

The bear tipped over the dumpster this morning. The SO had cut holes in it and chained it up so it can't get in. Now I get an email asking if he can get an archery bear tag. Sure hun, go ahead. Insurance that the bear will now disappear just like the deer & elk do, $41.

Bah! I bought Glycerin and I wanted Gelatin. How dumb is that? Now the shops are shut until tomorrow. Boo! I can't do my protein treatment now.

EDIT: I've just realised I left a £5 note in the self serve checkout. Frig.

If you're an alcoholic and get a DUI, lose your job, and have no friends it's entirely your fault because people all over you have been telling you to seek help.

And...

Many times I wish women would put brains before beauty.

Why do people running really great causes have to be completely insane?

It seems the passion that drives them to it in the first place is a double-edged sword.

Crisis adverted, calm is returned to the house.

I just had a major bathroom plumbing scare. I walked into my bathroom to find rotten egg smelling water in my tub, and water leaking from the bottom of the toilet that wouldn't flush. The plunger did nothing to either but make a bigger mess. So I have a mini freak out and start straightening up a bit before calling the landlady. Before I finished, the water started quickly draining on it's own. Everything worked as though nothing was ever wrong.

They're doing pipe work in a road about a block and a half away. There have been serious delays and complications with it. The busiest road in town has been blocked off for months because of a work stoppage. People are getting pretty mad about it. I'm guessing that they're probably working major overtime and they're responsible.

--------
and ugh, my 8 year old is revisiting the drama stage. "the worst day of his life" has become a common saying. The other day it was because I wouldn't let him have a popsicle before supper. Today is the worst day of his life because I told him to clean his room, specifically under his bed. I told him he's lucky that he has stuff to clean, and I could easily take care of that. There are plenty of kids in the world without toys that would love to have his.

He's still in there moping and dragging butt. Looks like I'm going to have to go light a fire under them. I don't need this today. I still have homework to do. I've been having trouble finding time to study this week with my new schedule with the boys starting school and all. Well, I guess I've procrastinated enough. time to go be the "mean" mommie.

Jess the Mess

I think we have the same 8 year old...

I've said what I have to say about this and if you are any bit of a man, you will use this avenue and be frank about ending these games and this ****ery.

I think it was charming of you to leave me that witty note.

I'm not sure I can handle the attention, though. I've shut down my emotions a bit, and am finding I like it. Who knew?

cympreni

Wow, I've been slacking on toy purging and I just paid the price for it. I can not believe how many play doh accessories they've managed to acquire. They've been moving on to legos, so I got rid of a bunch of the extras. I finally got rid of a bunch of toys they've been clinging to but are too old for and barely touch. I was hoping they'd give up on their own, but they're running out of space.

They cried at first, but didn't even bother to stay and supervise. When I was finished and they seen a few items in the donate pile, instead of whining they offered trades. I'll take that.

SCG

Ah yes, like clockwork, today I started to panic about my classes and how all of them are going to be horrible and I should completely change my schedule... The day before classes start. Just like the last two semesters!

At least I'm consistent.

You have disgraced yourself.

kayb

I don't know what to say. Honestly, this is one of the most annoying things about men and human beings in general. If you are no longer interested in me then please have the decency to let me know; email/phone call/voice-mail. It's common courtesy to respond to an email, four days is really pushing it. Yes, I am hurt, I really am. I liked you, but I am tired of you acting like a jerk. I don't think I can really express how upset, hurt and angry I am. I know you're not going to read my email and since I don't have the option of leaving you a v/mail anymore, I think I'm going to call you a dick, shrug, cry and try my best to console myself that I didn't do anything wrong and I deserve better than this. It really is such a pity that it has to end this way. I know I shouldn't be hurt about it, but I am. I should have followed my instincts when the told me to leave it a day.

I just put my 5 year old in the bath. The neck of his shirt is getting small and he needed help getting it off. I said looks like we have something more for the donate pile. He said, "No, I don't want to. I want to keep it one more week, then I'll donate it." lol

My grandfather is dying. Dementia is a horrible thing. His brain no longer tells his body to do things like swallow or cough - he doesn't know how to anymore. He doesn't recognize anyone, or anything. He's been taken off almost all his medicine and now my grandmother has to sit by his bed, and hold his hand, and wait for him to die, and he doesn't know who she is or where he is.

I know that when people get married, they don't suddenly become immortal. Sooner or later, one of them will pass on, and eventually the other one too. That's life. Death is a part of life. I know this, I understand it completely, but to see your husband's life and dignity stolen, slowly, by dementia, is just terrible. I can't imagine what my grandmother is going through. I wish I could be there for her.
