Hate and Loathing

Goodness, but I am filled with hate and loathing this morning, all for, you guessed it! Mr. Supportive himself. Calls me up at work this morning, while he's still home, and starts carrying on about where are DS's blankets for daycare! How is he going to nap without his blankets. Barely lets me tell him that I have no idea where the blankets are and then hangs up on me. Jackass. I hate being hung up on. Then won't pick up the phone when I call back. We're about 2 steps away from becoming Mr. Supportive's parents all over again (a most emotionally unhealthy couple) and I don't want to raise a 3rd generation of dysfunctional people!

Thursday night, we were at a lovely little restaurant in a shopping center near daycare and a lovely Latino gentelman tells me, en español, just how pretty I am and how much he likes me. I eat this crap up, ladies and gentlemen! Ever since then, I've been dreaming (literally) about my future with some college professor from Mexico whose wife died tragically a couple of years ago... Hot, heavy erotic dreams. No, don't ask, because I'm not going to tell. It was just a dream!

I gotta get back to reality and deal with Mr. Supportive. 'Course, right now, with as ticked off as I am, I'm considering making myself available in case Señor Professor shows up.

Mr. Supportive and I have therapy tonight and I wanted to do some real positive stuff, but I'm afraid that all I want to do now is scream at him.

Sigh.

Five Things I Can Do to Save this Marriage:

  1. Get back to my wedding dress size. This involves losing around 80 lbs. Tough, yes, but I could do it if I put my mind to it.
  2. Do additional housework. This involves getting over being pissed off that Mr. S and I had a deal that, once we had kid(s) we'd have someone come in and clean for us. I'm seriously, seriously pissed that we're not doing that.
  3. Exercise. Cardio 3 times a week for 30 minutes.
Any ideas for others?

Five Things that Mr. Supportive Can Do to Save this Marriage:

  1. Stop drinking.
  2. Begin rigid adherence to his meds schedule and not change his meds without talking to his doctor first. Yes, he did that.
  3. Exercise. Cardio 3 times a week for 30 minutes.
  4. Get a new job. I am so tired of listening to him whine.
  5. Take a photography class - he needs something creative to express himself and is damn good with a camera.

Five Things We Have to Do Together to Save this Marriage:

  1. Unpack the moving boxes and get fully settled into the house.
  2. Get rid of about a third of the crap in our house.
  3. Collaborate on healthy meals.
  4. Resolve to communicate respectfully at all times.
Oh and for those who were wondering - DS is fine, his elbow and shoulder are fine. He's even started kissing me back when I plant kisses all over his cute little face. Much better in Mommie World.
