Sorry @jemomma. I'm almost there. I've been in the bathroom for 40 minutes avoiding mine because our fight about the rules to the card game was NOT about the rules to the card game we are just actively avoiding real issues. If I exit this bathroom I don't know if I'm saying goodnite or fighting or just going to bed.
Well that was strange. One of the kids here was (stay with me on this one) DH's best friend's sister's oldest boy. We see them fairly regularly and DS1 and her oldest are only six months apart and good friends. She texted me earlier today to let me know he was nervous because he's only spent the night at the neighbor's house. OK, good to know. When she got here to drop him off she again said he was very nervous and she wasn't sure he'd be here in the morning. I told her I would keep her posted on how he was doing. He's been doing just fine and having a blast.
There was just a knock on the front door and I thought DH was coming home from work early and didn't want to dig out his house keys to unlock it. Nope. It was this kid's mom. Coming to pick him up at 9:15. Totally unexpectedly. No call, no nothing. He was mad she was taking him home. All I can think of is that her DH is out of town and she has two other kids at home with her and she didn't want to potentially have to deal with him changing his mind in the middle of the night? Or she was just that anxious about having him spend the night somewhere? But it's not like we don't know them. Huh...
I'm sorry @jemomma. I know sometimes DH and I have fights just because one of us is that wound up and we take it out on the other for no good reason. We blow up and then separate and it blows over. But in the moment it just sucks ass. I hope you guys get past this quickly.
Been there @jemomma. Sorry you're having a hard night. You too periwinkledaydreams.
@jimbobcooter, that is so weird, I'm also scratching my head. Maybe you're right, she just wanted to prevent having to deal with it MOTN. I feel kinda bad she didn't at least let him try, though. He should have been given the chance to work it out. Oh well! Good luck with the rest of the night!
Joolschweets I'd just like to say to you "reddddd, yellow, and bllllluuue." DH hates the chameleon too. It doesn't go off on its own for us, but we constantly walk into the thing & then it goes off.
Guise... I suck at this drinking thread tonight. Yes I drank, but what's the point when I keep missing out on posting. And now I'm about to go to bed, you know unlike the last 2 hours where I was asleep on the couch.

Still waiting for sick DD to fall asleep. DH found his old Nintendo handheld thing and it's sucking his attention away. T finally fell asleep, after being stubborn and needing 4 or 5 check ins.
And no church tomorrow, since I'm determined not to let this crap infect anyone else.
I HATE quarantine with children.
hugs to @jemomma and periwinkledaydreams. I always call DH on his crappy attitude, and make him tell me what I did to piss him off. "If you don't say anything, I won't change."
I probably wouldn't change anyways, but at least he talks.

I borrowed Transformers from the library to watch with DH. Guess who did her nails and watched a movie alone while DH snored? This girl. Not even sad about it.
DH and I had a no phones night last night, but just wanted to say I'm sorry to @jemomma and periwinkledaydreams. I hope you both found peace overnight, or come to it quickly this morning. I've noticed that since baby, our fights go from zero to 60 waaaay faster than they used to - I mostly blame lack of sleep. Normally were both able to recognize we were both mostly just cranky, hopefully it's the same for you.

Just saw this @jemomma. Glad you were able to talk things out last night with your H. Having to wait til morning is the worst. I've been there too, especially when everyone is sleep deprived, it's all too easy to let things build up.

Just checking back here to say thanks for the encouragement last night.. we fast tracked to baby and family and we're really still kind of bumbling through this getting to know each other thing, so a lot of our tension stems from that. Anyway we had a family day today, breakfast and movies and football all day. All is well for now.
