This is probably a dumb reason to get upset but ...

Okay,Normally I don't gripe or complain in my blog. I'd rather use it to talk about my writing, my family, and the good things in life because I figure there's enough people bitching and moaning in the world. But this morning there's something that's bothering me and how can I make myself better about it until my husband gets home and I can talk to him about? I do what any writer would do, I write about it ;-).Here's my problem. Phillip was supposed to have a tech meeting last night with the guys from work, but instead his boss decided to treat him and the other two techs for all their hard work by taking them to see Roger Waters in concert. That was cool, I told him to have fun and enjoy himself and I'd have PJ call him later to say goodnight.So I stayed up until about midnight night last, hoping I could see Phil and say goodnight to him before I turned in. He didn't get home until One a.m. I know becuase he woke me up when he hopped in the shower. I thought , "Okay this late on a work night?" but I tried not to let it bother me too much because I figured he had his fun with the guys.Then I woke up this morning. I found his ticket on the table and a reciept for the House of Blues. Now I am starting to get a little ticked because I've been dying to go to the HOB and he goes without me.Then I start thinking, "When was the last time someone took you out, Dana, for doing a good job with your writing or for taking care of PJ? When was the last time you got to have a night out with your friends?" The last time I went out without PJ or Phil was three years ago, for my thirtieth birthday. Phillip has never once out of the blue offered to watch PJ so that I can have a girls a night out. Granted, I never told him how I felt because I never stopped to think about it until this morning. But it would be nice if maybe after I finished the first draft of story, Phil came up to me and said, "Nice Job. Why don't you call Beckie or Stacy and see if they want to go out tonight? Don't worry about PJ, I'll watch him for you."Now I know that things are a little tight right now with our money situtaion until I start the two part-time jobs I plan on taking, but even when I worked at JC Penneys. he never once offered to watch PJ so I could go out with the girls from work.I guess griping about it will do me no good and I'll talk to him when he gets home from work.

Ugh! I know just how you feel about not getting to go out and just chill with some girlfriends. LOL! I haven't been out with the gals since Tanner was a baby! Buddy and I finally got to go out to eat for our Anniversary this year. It's been over three years since just the two of us have been able to do that. I would be kinda angry too if I had been wanting to go to a certain place. Men! LOL! Hang in there!
