27 January 2008

I've only been awake for about an hour or so. I slept on the couch for several reasons. First, my husband is like my own personal heater, he radiates so much heat when we're sleeping that it's sometimes like sleeping in an oven. I was too hot to sleep, so I went in the living room and fell asleep on the couch. Second, I couldn't sleep anyway, my mind was going a million miles an hour and I was keeping myself awake. Third, I wasn't too happy with him anyway.



Friday evening after he got home from work I mentioned to going to parents house after he got home from Church on Sunday (today). He shot back this snarky remark about it won't be until after 1:00 pm. Now, Church is from 10:00 - 11:00am. He's usually home by noon. I asked him why and he said something to effect of "Guess you really don't listen to me so I'll keep reminding you." He said that he was going to his sister-in-law's house and would be there for an hour or so. Now, I have no problem with my sister-in-law, really, I don't. But there's something about him spending all this time her that I just don't like. Maybe it's because her husband (my husband's brother) walked out on her and my husband tries to council her. I'm not sure. I know that there is nothing going on between the two of them. He said that he made a deal with her, if he can build his plane in her garage then he would teach her about the Bible. Far be it from me to suggest that if she wants to learn about the Bible she pick up the Good Book and go to Church. At any rate, I told him fine, I would go to my parents house by myself. At which point he got frustrated that I just couldn't comprehend the whole "deal" he had made with her, and he suggested that I was stubborn and thick-headed. I am on both counts, but that's not the point. A long time ago he had said that Sunday would be designated "family day." Now I realize that she is family, but why should I stay home alone? Anyway, we got into a little bit of an argument when I reminded him where his brother is, and he walked out the door and went to Church. I stayed home alone on Friday night and watched TV.



Fast forward to last night. When we got into bed I asked him if he was coming with me to my parents house today. Simple question deserves a simple answer...yes or no. He immediately took the defense and absolutely refused to answer me. So we argued for about 5 minutes, until I finally just stopped talking to him. I never did get an answer. So once he fell asleep, I got up and slept on the couch. This morning he got up and went to Church. He should be home in about an hour. I've decided that if he isn't home by noon, I'm going to go to my parents house by myself. but that's one of the reason's why I slept on the couch with the cats.



It's snowing here, as it was when I woke up. I really don't feel like driving in the snow, but it's not so bad. My parents only live about 10 minutes away. However, I do have to get out there and vacuum my back seat in the car. Yesterday we went to Home Depot because I wanted to buy a plant. Up until about 2 years ago I had a dieffenbachia that was about 6 feet tall. I had that plant for just about 4 years, but unfortunately she didn't survive the move to my last apartment. I miss that plant! But I did buy a new dieffenbachia. I do have to repot her, because the pot that she came in is obviously too small. My husband has no clue and thought the pot was fine. But just looking at her you can tell she is way too big to be in that little pot. I'll probably go tomorrow and see if I can get a new pot to make her a little happier. The cats were very interested in her yesterday and I can only hope that they don't knock her over. She's sitting on a milk crate with a towel over it because I had just watered her and I didn't want to get the carpet wet and dirty. The carpet is new, after all.
Well, it's getting to be 11:30am and I really should get ready to go to my parents house, with or without my husband. It's still snowing and I'd rather stay home, but I haven't seen my parents in awhile so I need to get going. Have a fun day!
