Last night I ended up getting frustrated by a few things so I stopped all of what I was doing to listen to a few podcasts that have been piling up for me to listen to. didnt work out too well but it had gotten late so I kinda figured the night might end before I got done. Well my son had a coughing fit in the middle of the night. The past couple of nights I have used the aspirator (snot sucker) to empty his nose and then used vicks on his chest. Well last night I skipped the aspirator and just used the vicks. It took a little longer but eventually he settled back down and went quietly back to sleep. So i was up for about an hour (2 ish to 3 ish). I then wake up at about 6:30 listening to my son talk to himself. I lay there as long as possible (7:15) to go get him. He isnt unhappy so it wasnt a bad thing. I go get him and start prepping for him to be taken to daycare. The phone rings and i KNOW it is the daycare person saying he cant come. and sure enough it is. So now I am tired and frustrated. Queue wife waking up. She has had a bad dream so isnt in a good place. not mad or angry..just a glum mood. Well today she has a meeting that she wants me to go with her. Well, in my mind the easiest thing is for her to just go to work like normal and then when she is leaving to come get me and we will go. If the babysitter can come over, since it isnt that far, she can walk or I can walk to their place and walk them over. So without saying any of this to my wife I start prepping in my mind (as well as preparing a breakfast of french toast with syrup for my son and a egg sandwich for me). When my wife asks if I was taking her to work I mention that she can just come get me. She thinks at lunch (which she is working through). I said "no..after you leave for the day......nevermind I will take you." and proceed in a huff. which in her mood Im sure seemed worse. I could have been worse..not sure. points of view are always jaded.
Needless to say..this morning didnt start off all that grand. Am I in a better mood. Again, Point of view. Still tired. a little eehh. But I have had food and coffee. My son isnt being a Monster and if you can block out the background noise of the shows he watches, then all is going ok on my end. I am not going to say im in a great mood. I will say I can act civil and that no one will die unless they really try to piss me off.
just a few wolfish thoughts.
