And the gloves are off..

How is it that you can get so excited about something and then something always goes wrong. Take for instance last night... all day I was waiting for Derek to get home from work so we could start our normal weekend ritual of eating dinner and watching movies together... just to relax really in eachothers company after a long work week. Everything seems fine and dandy, almost too good to be true, and then here comes the rain on our parade. The night was a total disaster, ending in tears, little sleep, and him on the recliner down stairs for the remainder of the night. Now I know that nobody is perfect, and fighting every now and then keeps a relationship healthy, cause lets be honest, were not robots, but come on... the weekends is "our time" to spend together. With such busy and crazy work schedules, the only time we spend together Monday through Friday, is when we get ready for bed or are getting ready for work in the morning. "What was the fight about." your wondering to yourself, well let me tell you without really telling you, something completely and utterly STUPID! Yes I will say that there was a little bit of booze thrown in the mix, and that ALWAYS makes things worse then they really are. I honestly thought that when he was leaving today there would not be a kiss goodbye or even an "I love you." Surprisingly, I got both. Then after an apologetic text directed to him and a "have a good day at work," I got this in return... "Im not mad baby, sorry I overreacted, I love you too and I hate fighting with you." God, why couldn't we just have said all that last night?? After last night, I have now added a very much needed #11 on my list of "NYR."
#11 Don't go to bed angry... EVER!!!
