the only interesting thing going on right now, other than my overwhelming, soul-crushing depression, is that i finally got back control of dinner. the other night, boy was getting all mad that every time he came home, he had to decide what to have for dinner. and if you've been reading this, you'll remember that this comes up often. WHY does he have to decide what to have for dinner every night? because i would tell him what i was going to make, then he would be like "ehh." so i'd say, "well what do YOU want then?" and then we'd have to think of a new thing, and then the menu would change. now let me interject here: not only did i have a really tightly planned, nutritious menu for the entire week, but i chose things that shared the same ingredients to minimize waste of both food and money, AND i accounted for a night of eating out and having leftovers. for a while, the fridge wasn't full of unused stuff, or leftovers that were never eaten. it was awesome! so then, when he was being indecisive, i'd give him two options as to what to have for dinner. i'd say, okay. this or that? and then, that got to the point where he was like, "well i don't want either one of those things." so i'd be like ... okay ....... then what do you want? and then we'd have to decide what to have. after a while, i just stopped suggesting anything because it would always change. it takes a while to come up with a menu, shopping list, and all of that stuff. so why waste a couple hours of time when i don't need to? so like i said, we come to the other night where he's like, i don't want to have to decide what's for dinner every night. it's annoying. and i said, hey, then when i tell you what we're having, stop changing it! he doesn't realize he is always asking for the impossible. i said, you have two options: i will be the boss of dinner, and you will eat it and like it, or you will have to decide what to have every night and be annoyed. and he's like uhh well, and i said no uhh well. it's one way or the other, because whenever i try to give you just two options for dinner, you can't even pick between those. so enough already. i said, do you realize that you do this? you say that you don't want to have to think about dinner, so i decide what we're going to have for dinner, and when i tell you, you want something different, but you can't decide what you want, so you get mad at me. when i said it like that, he was like, oh. yeah! so anyway. that's been resolved for a couple of weeks, at least. i know he's going to start doing it again, but when he starts getting annoyed then i'll remind him of this conversation. later tonight we're taking boycat to the vet. the fact that i just typed "we're" made me tear up a little bit. boy went from being a person who's totally not into pets in general, to being a guy who's just not really into cats but dogs kind of, to being a guy who loves my little baby boy to death. last night i was saying, "i hope this isn't really expensive," just because i didn't want to have to ask my mom to loan us the money, and he says, "as long as it's under $800, we're golden." like, that's every cent he has in his bank account right now. the fact that he's willing to do this for me, for boycat ... it means so much to me. i really can't articulate what i want to say, other than, he is amazing and i am so thankful for him. my brother just called me and asked if - to my knowledge - he was a robot. a foreign body just fell out of his body, and he was totally freaking out, asking if i knew that he had any other surgeries than the ones he was aware of. the guy's crazy, what can i say. ok, gotta go finish with my hair so i can get kiddo to the doctor, then back home to get boycat to the vet. lots of medicine today. |
