TY Penitent. He took the kids to the bus stop and I completely ignored him. I fixed the kids' their lunches, breakfast, and now I am enjoying my coffee. I will continue to ignore him until he stops being such a toddler. I was thinking of what caused me to fall off the boat and I noticed not only was it due to the stress I had in my personal life, but it was him constantly nagging or trying to micromanage other people's lives. I told him earlier he was perfect....a perfect sphincter muscle. He left the room and said, "Whatever." I truely think he hates it that I am strong, bullheaded, and a free spirit. All of his relationships prior to me had failed, including his 1st 2 marriages. I am his 3rd and he is my 1st. I had never had short term relationships before--most lasted for more than a year. I am sorry for airing my laundry but I need to get this off my chest before it drives me insane.

Husband copt a major attitude when I explained we had 2 computers and there was no need for a laptop but we need to rip out the carpet and replace it w/ laminate. (Daughter has been diagnosed w/ mild asthma.) He literally plopped on the couch like a 4 yr old, crossed his arms, and huffed. From there he proceeded to whine and complain. I ignored him and told him I would pick him up some toddler teething rings. I told him I did not have time to cater to his tantrum and my quit was more important than him and he started a minor rant / holler. I left the room. Then daughter copt a major attitude last night when I told her no computer. Then from there, she started hollering at me. So I went upstairs, closed the door, popped in my relaxation cd and tried to calm down. As silly as it sounds, I was literally talking to myself out of a smoke. I was verbally speaking outloud too! I cried and cried and cried. Finally I layed down on my tummy, and breathed deeply, etc. I jsut stayed upstairs in my room and avoided everyone. I guess I hid. Bedtime had approached, and I was watching a cooking show. Husband came into the room and complained the tv was too loud. WTHeck?? It wasnt loud, he wanted something complain about. I looked at him and in the calmest voice, I said, "This is about *MY* quit. This *IS NOT* about you. This *IS MY* life and I am desperately trying to rid myself of a horrid addiction. If you want to support me, then stop blaming me for your problems. You are not helping me by constantly micromanaging me. I can manage my own life. Sweep off your own back porch before you sweep mine. Now, if you kindly leave, I can continue to focus on a show I am interested in." He huff'd and puff'd and went off to do his own thing. It seems the insomnia monster decided to rear its ugly head and I am its latest victim. This morning was no different than last night. I woke up around 430 and made a cup of coffee. At 6am, he came downstairs and tried picking a fight *again*. I simply took my coffee into my hand, and breathed in the aromas and steam. I swear he is the devil with blue eyes. This is my quit. This is my life. I would rather take on a pod of great white sharks rather deal with this addiction. It seems it would be easier to punch a shark in its snout. [b]H

Rust on the trees!! That is adorable!! As a little girl, I used to think 'Mother Nature' was changing her dress to different colors. Each leaf was part of her dress. Beautiful reds, sunbright yellows, mellow oranges made her attire for the Autumn. As she put on her dress, the mountains would 'sway' as she continued to wrap the world in the folds of her skirt. *whispers* I have told my children this story since they were little babies!! OH!! Gingersnaps!! And Molasses cookies!! Carrot cake cookies!! OH MY!!!

Hi Free =) I am straight to the point and very direct when it comes to communication. He, on the other hand, will walk out of the room or he will jsut shrug his shoulders and say, "Whatever". We have been together 93 and we have 2 kids. It jsut gets so aggravating when he hs the need to micromanage me. I guess he feels he must tell me how to operate, etc each day of my life and after a point, it gets frustrating and aggravating. *insert mean face here* I gave him a 'Hunny bunny to do list' and he wants me to help him. No. I need a day off and today is the day. I am sleepy!!
