"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."
This was most definitely not me today. Today I wanted to scream and punch my way through a wall.
See what the text says here? Think again...
So that picture that I so convinently placed there says that one person is always right and the other is the husband? Well apparently my oh so loving husband believes it should say the other is the wife. At least that's what I gathered today right before I felt like driving my fist through a wall since Andrew was safe and sound behind his phone texting me twenty miles away. It didn't help that he didn't feel the need to give me a kiss goodbye today. "Oh you wouldn't wake up!" Well um hello, I wake you up for a millisecond to give you a kiss before I go to school, you attempted to wake me up ONCE immediately when you woke up. I'm sorry that I had a rough night sleeping.
Here's where I am apparently the bad guy. I was talking to Andrew about what phone I could get for the upgrade he promised me. Out of the blue he starts talking about not letting me use the upgrade and switching to pay as you go phones to save us money. Apparently I was badgering him to keep this "oh so expensive" contract. I'm sorry but I do my research, these pay as you go phones don't have coverage where we are going to live, and we won't be able to keep our current phones and would have to pay the FULL RETAIL of the phones. But here I am "shooting down" his ideas, when I had presented these ideas to him about 9 months earlier when we were even more financially strained. Guess what? He argued with me the same points I'm arguing him with. Hmm...something's not right there.
Then, I thought about it, since my line will be renewed, and we have a total of 3 lines, long story, why not as soon as his current line runs out, he jumps on the 3rd line that ends in 2014 and just change the number (he didn't want to use that line because it was a San Diego area code). He rebutted with having my mom start a whole new family plan basically as soon as we get back, and we pay the money to cancel our thrid line. Finally I got him to agree to my previous idea, but the whole time I was thinking of what I would do if I was a vengeful person.
While I was home in PA Andrew used some of my final pay to buy a subwoofer behind my back ($200), and said he didn't ask me because he knew I would say no. Well I was thinking, I could just go ahead and buy the phone I wanted ($100, then I get a $50 rebate) and not tell him, when he asked about it say I knew you would say no, so I just went ahead and got it anyway.
So instead of doing that I finally got him to see the point, and instead of punching through a wall, I went to my friend's house and we bitched it out over an extra thick milkshake from Sonic.
I guess there really was no point to this post other than to see some of the anger management I may or may not have accomplished.
"Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it."
