August 19, 2005-SOME DAYS ARE JUST BETTER THAN OTHERS, TODAY WASNT ONE OF THEM
TGIF!!!!
ever just have one of "THOSE" days? i have them almost every day, and today seemed like the weeks worth to me.
craig checked his works email, and was asked by a personnel, why he hadnt told them about the court date for bankruptcy today...when he received the information...
craig said he had told them, 3 weeks ago, that he in fact had sent an email to HIS BOSS (here we go again, with the mislaid info by the boss..) and told him the date he would have to be out.
they email also mentioned...that in the 90 days probation so far (craigs been fulltime for a month now?) hes already missed 4 of the 5 aloted days, and on the next day out...hell most likely be fired...
from the lips of craig come the words...."maybe i should just cut my losses and find another job"
hmmmm, i think i uttered those nealy every week SINCE ya got the dern thing, altho understanding...its about all he can get unless he gets a bit more education in the areas ppl are looking to hire someone in.
the next order of business was he had to run to the DMV(department of motor vehicles) and get all the paperwork to sell my van to our friend HANK GREGORY...i told him to call hank, and ask him if he wouldnt mind waiting till tomorrow (sat) to get the van, as craig had to do to "support" jobs for his work....even tho he had asked for the day off (at least he gets paid for it)
hank obliged, and somewhere in their conversation...explained that we WOULD need the title for the van to sell it to hank.
now, mind you...thats NOT a big deal to me..what go me irritated was...craig was standing there...IN THE BUILDING, at the DMV, with te resources avaiable to him...to just...ASK about the title. and he never did.
so, he calls me up to inform me of the issue and says...."which messes my entire day up now. having to go BACK there to get the title."
i stopped him in mid sentence...
and expressed somewhat LOUDLY...how, i didnt see how going to the DMV was gonna STOP him from getting and doing the things we were intending to do tomorrow (out to eat breakfast, get a storm door). it was ANOTHER reason to complain...im getting tired of it.
so, i stated my piece...and hung up on him .
the day went progressively worse from there...
somewhere in the day, my dog SHADOW got outside. next door neighbors kid had to bring her back. i called craig about it, said the dog had gotten out..
he asked...did she get out by the hole in the fence? i didnt think so, but again, THIS question alone incited me to get upsey even more.
i dont get WHY if craig KNEW that was an issue (which we have for a couple months now) WHY hasnt he fixed it then?
JUST DO IT ALREADY AND I WONT HAVE PROVOCATION TO BE SO UPSET WITH YOU!!!
we had somehow managed to discuss a wall-to-wall shelf system i want in the corner of the house, to look more uniform and pulled together, and he wasnt understanding MY vision of the thing....naturally.
again, i was VERY irate! YELLED and FUSSED!!! i had just about met my limit for a trying day by this point!
then theres the GRASS, hasnt been cut. and my child was asked about it and the ppl wondered when my son was going to get it done...COME ON! hes a kid!
craig came home, and the kids came out of the woodwork like roaches wanting to go swimming...its the weekend, they dont get to during the week, and they know on the weekend....craigs usually free, and they try to take advantage of that fact.
we have become...the neighborhood PUBLIC pool...lol
well, he has to get rude with them...because he JUST came home and he has things he tries to do.
hank had called and stated he was gonna come over to "test-drive" the van to see if it was worthy of...40.00 or not. worthy? its 40.00 bucks, ya cant buy a van in decent shape for a lowly 40.00 bucks, youre looking at at least a couple of hundred.
when he and his wife TESS were here, we did alot of talking, they drove the van...said they felt for 40.00 bucks she was decent (i know shes a good van, i drove her myself) well, after they left, the kids had 1 hour to swim...
i dunno, it seemed worse to me than what ive written here..and mostly because craig has messed up in doing SEVERAL key things....small things, but they irritated me.
WHEN DO MEN EVER GROW UP?!?!
it could be...that someone has prayed for me to have patience..
and im under the understanding that what you ask God for..Hell make sure your tested with something to "try" it....meaning, if i was asking God for patience, Hed send along things that TRY that patience, or if i was asking God to have a non-judgmental heart, id be graced all the time with...ppl who challenged my opinions...
the reason? to help us grow. we cant overcome what we dont face.
im working on temper...i have a short fuse, and im easily lit to an argument. i do have to say (although craig doesnt realize it) i am alot calmer with him that i was with my hubby (ex) DAN....THAT relationship was volital..and it was on my end that it was so...
