let’s shake and trade and be on our way
So.
I had a bit of a cloud hanging over my head today. It would have been bigger had Andrea not talked me down a little bit last night. Thanks Andrea. You’re a real friend and I wish you could only friggin live here. After last night I was unsure how to approach any of those topics with DH. I felt like it could send us sailing right into our first big blowup. That’s right, we’ve been married 3 and a half years and we have never once had a fight. Not even a heated argument. Oh sure, one of us has gotten their back up every now and then but nothing to qualify a “fight”.
After work today I just picked up some frozen fish filets and some frozen french fries. I didn’t care and didn’t feel like experimenting with fresh fish today. DH nodded quietly and said “I was going to take you out for dinner. Spend some time out of the house.” I feel like we covered a little bit of ground. He’s worried that I’m going to join a MOPS group and be disappointed that I’m the youngest one there. We’re still scratching our heads a bit at how to solve the church quandry. I don’t want to go to Catholic church and just go through the motions. I don’t understand a lot of the Catholic Catcheism which is probably the biggest language barrier right now. I think what we may do is go to Catholic mass on saturday nights and go to a sunday morning service of my choosing (it may take a couple of tries before I find something I like)
We’re going to leave DS with my mother in law tomorrow and go bridesmaid dress shopping. I think I may have conned my way into a couple of stops for the sake of my vanity.
We went to Carino’s and I had eggplant parmesan. I’m not gonna lie. I ate the whole thing.

I LOVE eggplant parmesan! Sooo good! I would have eaten the whole thing as well.
Good for you wanting to try out some churches. Do not be nervous about going to MOPS and being young. I went to MOPS and it is a great support network no matter what your age, I have four boys 19-16-10 & 2. So I was the OLDEST! LOL It was so much fun though to bond with other moms. You will like it.
Take care and have a wonderful weekend

Don’t be afraid of the fight, Ashleigh. It can’t always be wonderful. Just so long as it’s wonderful 95% of the time (90%…75???) Anyway…DH and I have spats. It usually consists of:
“You know what??? I’m not even going to talk to you about this! Just leave me alone!” Patty stomps off toward the bedroom…
“What are you so pissed at??? I’m the one who should be mad!” DH follows Patty down the hall.
“Leave me alone! Just F*CK OFF!” Patty runs into the bedroom and closes the door!
“Fine! Okay! Just stay in there! I don’t care!” DH turns and stomps into the kitchen.
Patty throws herself on the bed and sobs. DH hears the racket and knocks on the door.
“Honey? You okay?? I didn’t mean it. I’m sorry….Will you talk to me?”
“NO!” I don’t WANT to talk to you!”
DH carefully opens the door, sits down on the bed and begins to massage my neck and shoulders. Ten minutes later, we’re hugging and apologizing and getting into some serious lovin.
I NEVER say anything that isn’t true. I would NEVER deliberately hurt him and he would never hurt me. It’s just frustration and venting and that’s all a part of it. What did Cheryl Crowe say? “No one said it would be easy but no one said it’d be this hard.”
Hugs!
