I spoke up for myself and it felt good

But I failed.

I take the bus to work now, to save gas. DH asked if I could drop SD7 off at school on my way to the bus stop at 7:00am, which would require me to get up an thirty minutes earlier (which doesn't sound like a big deal, but i'm not a morning person, i'm an insomniac and every little bit of sleep I get in the morning is luxurious). I said "hmmmm. lemme think. no." just like that, no pauses, not even flinching.

But that fucker talked me into it. It actually makes common sense. Because her school is on my way, but out of the way for him.

What was even better is that I didn't even have to rationalize to him why I said no immediately. He knows damn well that I already make too many sacrifices for this child, and I didn't need yet another inconvenience in the way for this child who treats me like i'm not important, I don't matter and like she doesn't want me there.

Now i'm trapped. ugh.
