Well, never mind. I figured it out. I guess I didn't go completely to the bottom of the page. I'll be ok. It's been a long day and I can't sleep. Some nights I go right to sleep and rest well, others I just toss and turn and just go nuts.
Don't toss and turn. Come here and type at us. Even if we aren't here right at that moment in time, someone will be here in a few hours or a few minutes. You aren't the only one tossing and turning. <grin>

I really needed to hear from you--I am now all logged in and all is well. DH and I started taking a class in container gardening today. The instructor gave a nice list of stuff to bring tomorrow: gloves, clean container with a drainage hole, scissors or clippers, a pile of newspapers and some decorative rocks or stones. Everything was going along quite well. He seemed to be having a nice time. Seemed to enjoy listening to the other people describe their particular container problems. After supper he got really mad. Told me he thought I liked him but now he wasn't so sure. Said he thought I was just taking him to a nice place to meet some nice people and then he found out he was going to have to work. Wasn't in the mood to work. Didn't want to plant any pots and wasn't going to do it. I replied that's ok. You don't have to plant one. Perhaps you'd just like to watch me because I have two great pots that I'd like to plant and would he go with me.
Well, by the time we'd gone through all of that, he agreed to go if it would make me happy. I truly wonder sometimes if it's me that is confused. Does anyone else feel this way?
Awww Mawsy, I found his reasoning cute. he didnt want to work:) your answers were quite appropriate i thought -its always cute in the beginning but behold there will come a day when he may be really mad about 'anything' and wont be so complacent - so for now, enjoy enjoy! the good times together! divvi
Well, I was told last night that I was out of control...this after a nighmare afternoon of his being frustrated because he had to wait behind others at two retails places where we had to stop. Oh lord..he just returned from our park ..he knocked down the large sign in front because he said he didn't have room to stop the truck...good grief...the first thing. at least he said he reported it..we'll see what happens next.And..he wanted to take my Beemer instead of the truck!
Kathi, as others have told me, take a deep breath. I wouldn't be handing out the keys to the Beemer any time soon! I've had 2, but the upkeep is SO expensive!
Gosh, wish I could find the time to do something like that with my DH. Unfortunately I am still working full time, by the time I get home, I am exhusted and then the "evening job" starts. Cleaning, laundry, cooking, giving out pills, shower request etc. It usually isn't until around 8-9 that I finally sit down to catch a breath and then it's time for bed. I basically live for my weekends just so I can take a nap! I need more energy or more hours in a day to do all the stuff that needs to be done, not counting any fun things, which I haven't done for months.
Rae Ann-take care of yourself. I worked a year too long and am still trying to get over it. Coming home from work with everything to do myself. Trying to figure out what or what not DH had done was just too much. "yes I ran the dishwaser" then why when I am trying to fix dinner are the dishes still dirty?
Rae Ann--I've been retired for 15 years and I certainly appreciate how you have to come home from work and start your 2nd job. Like bluedaze suggested, takecare of yourself and don't work too long if it can be avoided.
We're going to plant the pots tomorrow. He says now all he's goig to do is watch me plant the pots. That's ok. They will still look nice and I'm going to thoroughly enjoy them. I'm thinking of shade pots. I have a choice between sun and shade. The shade plans are actually prettier. What do you all think?
