"Is it that time of month, dear?"

Yesterday was just one of those days when the good ole emotions kicked into high gear. Jon said it was due time for me to be mad at him. I knew I never wanted to be one of those wives that husbands complain about to their buddies and yet sometimes I make it so easy for him to do that. Sometimes I just seem like I can't help myself and I have to tell him everything he is doing wrong and after I say things, I completely regret them, because I know they aren't true (at least not all the way). Is this normal? I feel like a horrible wife. Afterwards Jon left in a pretty down mood and I absolutely awful. He came back home about 20 minutes later in a surprisingly good mood, and of coarse I was still mad. We sat across from each other in silence for a minute and he tried to make small conversation with me. Then he said, "I know why you are mad." and he pointed to the calendar. At first I thought he was implying that it was that time of month and that was going to set me off again (okay, so maybe it was), until he said, "Go look at the calendar" so I reluctanly got up and looked at what he had written on July 1st and it said "Husbands are fools day". I turned towards him and he looked so innocent. That just set me off crying. I really felt bad. Why was I blessed to have such a patient and loving husband? I seriously am so lucky to have him. When I think the world is crumbling around me, he gathers up all the rubble and makes it better. I truly love my husband.

I know exactly how you feel! Sometimes we all have those days. That is so funny Jon wrote that on the calendar because let face it, somtimes husbands are fools but then again so are we!

Now that is a great husband! That is so funny that he did that. I could never see Jon getting mad, and to have him coming home feeling just fine - you are a lucky woman! But he is also a very lucky man, no matter what you say!

I think we've all been there, Mandi. Good thing for patient husbands. That was pretty clever of him to think of a holiday to write on the calendar. And it's times like this that you know that Heavenly Father really loves you to bless you with such a great guy!

What a cute post. It is hard to stay mad at such a cute guy. It sounds like he doesn't get that mad at you either. You are very lucky to have such a fun lovin husband.

I totally know what you mean Mandi! I just had a little frusterated episode and I know I'm being dumb, but sometimes I just can't help it! I think it's easy for us to get stressed out with all the work that goes into raising a family and taking care of a home. You are both lucky to have each other!
