Despite all the Weed drama … today was a really good day.
Nothing really changed except the way I reacted to things and I have to say… I’ve probably haven’t felt this much inner peace in a long, long time.
In between the Weed-Calls this morning, I had explained to Chief the thoughts and feelings that I posted about last night. It made me feel better to tell him.. it also made me feel better that he knew that I had been seriously contemplating ending our relationship.
He didn’t say much… and I really didn’t expect him too.. but I know he was listening and that’s what was the most important.
When we came home from the shop, he started making breakfast :: well, brunch by that time :: and as soon as we walked in, the boys started bickering about the PS3.
Who was on it longer.. who’s turn it was.. the same blah, blah, blah.
So I told them that if it comes down to having them only playing games with timed matches then that’s what’s going to happen because there’s no reason to keep fighting over that nonsense.
That settled them down for a little bit until there was an issue with one particular disc.
NOTE: If anyone out there has experienced this, let me know because I’m stumped and the Game Stop people are stumped. The Call of Duty 4 disc is operational ONLY until you try to find a match online. Then it just says it’s downloading the game settings and there appears to be a grey, vertical bar on the side of the screen. I cleaned the disc and put it into the PS3 in my bedroom and it worked fine.. so obviously it’s not the disc and all the other games work so I’m clueless.
Bubba then asked me if we could swap out PS3’s because he wanted to play COD4 and I said absolutely not. I’m not going to risk something happening to me and Chief’s PS3. He kept on baggering.. asking his infamous “Whhhyyy” until Chief snapped out on him.
When Bubba doesn’t get what he wants, he gets this “Oh, Woe Is Me” attitude and Eoyore Oh-Pooh-I-Lost-My-Tail look. He’s miserable and hell bent on making everybody else miserable until they cave.
I wasn’t caving.. and neither was Chief.. so Bubba said he was going out. “In the rain??” Chief asked. “Yep”, Bubba responded.
“Have fun with that” was Cheif’s response.
As he was walking out the door, Chief told him that he needed to grow up. That just because he couldn’t get his way ALL the time.. just because he is forced to be fair when having to share with Spaz isn’t punishing anyone but himself.
Whatever.
I wasn’t going to let this kid ruin my day and he didn’t… me and Chief cuddled together and watched a movie.. I fell asleep for a while.. and when I woke up he already had dinner on. He told me not to worry about the dishes because today was my day off and he didn’t want me doing anything.
So I didn’t.
He did clean up the kitchen after brunch but there’s still things to take care of from dinner.. but I’m not going to worry about it now. I’m not going to pass up the opportunity to spend more cuddle time with my man.
The dishes can wait.
