Summing Up The Weekend!
So things have calmed down here on the homefront for the most part. The weekend was somewhat uneventful.
~Baby Girl has calmed down a bit on the "guy" issues. She is applying herself to her studies nicely and now trying to get her dad and I to let her have a party for her birthday next month...I opened my mouth and probably shouldn't have! She would like to have a boy girl party outside in the recently paved driveway. I suppose it wouldn't be too awful to allow. Things have happen here in this frigen town that scare me on the idea of a party though...I suppose I should elaborate for you...
~A friend of ours allowed her teenager to have a birthday party at the beginning of the summer. It was boy girl and a lot of the kids in town went to it...NOT my baby girl though. At this party the mom of the girl got plastered and the Dad got pissed off about some things and left so the kids weren't very "supervised". They took the opportunity to be little thieves and swipe some booze from the drunken mom's fridge. Mom at this point is down the road in the ball field screwing some other guy (not her hubby) but that's another story entirely. Anyway, the kids, not all of them but probably about ten of them, got drunk and the mom tried to cover for them. When these kids parents found out about the evening's "activities" they were LIVID, and rightly so. Thank the Lord my baby girl wasn't there! The kids parents decided that the details as they unraveled were just too much so they are suing her and she got arrested for "supplying" to minors because a few of the kids that were drunk accused the mom of giving them the liquor. Well, the whole thing is a big mess and I won't get into it but you all get the drift... 
~So this brings me back to Baby Girls party. Some of these kids that were at the party from the summer will most likely be invited to her party and I'm concerned of what "substances" will be brought without Hubby and I knowing. I WILL handlethings a bit differently than the drunken Mom from the summer. I will NOT drink while children are present and I will confiscate any substances that get brought to my home. If any show up high or have been drinking then their parents will be called immediately! We all learn from other's mistakes! So, we have a little less than a month, (october 13th) to decide if we will allow it, but this is ALL that Baby Girl is thinking about so I'm happy that there isn't some huge Drama like I've been dealing with for the past few weeks.
~Hubby and I got into an argument this weekend, and most of you wouldn't think this was any big deal, but hubby and I hardly ever fight anymore so I really didn't know how to deal with it. It was all really no big deal and we are fine now but it has made me appreciate our relationship and how far we have come. It happened Saturday and he was basically a twit the entire day. We had gone shopping (something he wanted to do) and all he did the whole time was crap about the traffic and crab about the rain and he was just not dealing well with the rush I guess. We got home and while out shoping we had decided on a Baked Chicken Dinner
that night so I came home from the trip and started the cooking process. Chicken in the oven, Veggies chopped and in their cooking pots...HE decides to just get up and announce he's heading to the county fair with my Dad to watch the Truck Pulls. Now normally I wouldn't have minded, and I really didn't care that he went that night, BUT He was very inconsiderate to me and I stewed about it the whole evening. The dinner that was planned was altered and we did have a chicken (i had bought two rotisseries) and my mother came over and there were a few kids here with us, but it was chicken with all the fixings, it was more like chicken and whatever I could throw on quick. Hubby was gone most of the evening and when he came home he was carrying bags of cotton candy to sweeten me up before I blew my top. Didn't work for him though! We argued (and the kids that were still out on the deck heard us, which we NEVER allow to happen) and went to bed mad. But in the morning I was over it and things were fine between beloved and me. This was a first and caught me off gaurd! Usually when we used to fight it would last for days because I hold a HUGE grudge over people for a very LONG time. This one was short and sweet and I am proud of the fact that we handled it much better than we have in the past.
~Sunday was spent at football games while baby girl and friend helped out with the flag cheerleaders (little tykes) and I worked the concession stand. It was an ok day, a little on the boring side. When we got home I made it a point to have that Baked Chicken Dinner with all the fixings and Hubby spent the day kissing my toes (No Sucking invovled Dear Scotty! Except for sucking up) and I kinda liked it. He was sweet as pie and did anything I asked him. This continued on to today (Monday).
~ Today Hubby and I worked on a minor home improvement project together that took us the better part of the morning and I've come to the conclusion that I will NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER build a home with my dear husband.
Life seems to be good for the moment and I hope it lasts...but I am mature enough to know it won't! One can dream...Luv to you all and I hope you are enjoying life too!
