Letting off steam... among other things!

Now, i'm not sure whether it's just the hormones, or if Sweetheart is just being REALLY pain in the arse annoying... must be his fault... why I chose to take it out on a poor defensive onion I don't know. Actually I should say, taken out on a poor defensive onion and the kitchen floor by means of a stong pitching arm (namely mine!).

I guess in terms of venting frustration it's better than going down the local for a few pints and getting in a bar room brawl.

The one particular annoyance in question (or rather one of many) started at ten past six in the am. Phone rings, and most calls at that hour are emergencies... well yeah, if the emergency is that Sweetheart has forgetten about swapping shifts and is now ten minutes late for work, and currently wondering why on earth anyone would be ringing at such ungodly hour (although I'm sure God is awake by 6am!)

So amongst the major panic that ensues, I decide to visit the commode, only to be told off for going because he needs to go and is running late for work (Hmm... hadn't noticed THAT one!) I finish my business and walk out to see Sweetheart standing at the bathroom sink, "I'm using the sink as a urinal!" he proclaims very proudly, and then REFUSES to wipe it out because he's running late for work (hmm... yup he STILL needed to remind me one more time)

I started to throw my 'nana, and I guess trying to avoid all out war he finally obliged, reluctantly grabbed the 'shower power', and did what he shouldn't have HAD to do in the first place if he had only waited the whole sixty seconds for me to finish my own call to nature.

...and then he had the gall to ask for change for the toll.

All said and done though he did redeem himself by the end of the day. I was presented with a scrumptious KFC dinner, and after a great deal of faffing around in the kitchen, a caramelatte with whipped cream on top, and marshmallows and little cruchie bites for extra 'sucking up' power. PLUS '50 first dates' and 'Love actually' hired from the vid shop.

Well it worked... I'm a sucker for sugar, and I do get a little sick of star wars movies, and watching someone else play the PS2!

So for now all is forgiven, although the forgotten bit I'm not so sure about... I'm sure I'll manage to drag these small offences out again when they are next needed to win an argument.

It's lucky I love him so much!
