I thought I’d update you to the whole mess that is my week since a few of you were kind enough to respond to my last couple of blogs.

SO came to pick me up for lunch & proceeded to ask me “what’s wrong…you’re voice is kinda monotone” to which I responded “I don’t want to cause an argument, we’ll talk on Saturday after your test…I’m fine (insert smile)”. He was his normal happy chipper self while we sat down & ordered…then he said something (without my starting it)…

“You know, I was thinking about our fight last night & realized how unfair it was of me to say that YOU are the reason that I yell at the Skids…I know how much better the Skids are, especially SS, because of you. I just wish that SD would behave & not be so bad. I miss you playing & laughing with her compared to now when you hardly want to hang out with her at all. I guess I figured that the rules are what is messed up but it’s actually SD being an ass. I’ve thought about it & there isn’t a rule I would change, just because we aren’t being mean to them by expecting them to be polite & follow simple rules. I’m sorry that SD is so rude & I’m sorry that I yelled at you.”

So, I guess that he was just having a crappy day yesterday & that’s that…THIS is the man I fell in love with…the one who can reason & see that we don’t have to agree on everything Skid related, but that we should still stand together & communicate like grown ups rather than being big fat brats.

I will still speak to him on Saturday to see if there’s anything he wants to change as far as the Skids go & I will also start trying to deal with everything prior to his getting home so he’s not greeted with “please deal with SD because she’s did A, B or C”. I can see why he’s down with being greeted that way & he told her the other day that I would be dishing out punishments if he’s not home…so we shall see.

I’m not holding my breath on SD getting better at this point but so long as SO & I can deal with it, I think we’ll be ok!

PS…I did laugh at him over the whole “you know you don’t DESERVE this orange soda SD, you need to start behaving” crap & he admitted…it was STUPID!
