I envy those who don't keep scorecards as part of their relationship. I never thought we had, but I was called out on it very early this morning. As it turns out, I'm significantly behind in the scoring. I guess that's to be expected. If I didn't realize there was a problem, it's difficult to fix it. And, if I was the one being negligent, I guess it stands to reason I wouldn't have been noticing just how far behind I was. Yick, yack, yuck! I hate this!
I'll try to be positive about it... Just a breaking point between two people who are under a very extreme amount of stress. Maybe it's the full moon's fault! :) Eh, it's my own fault... Now I just have to pick up the pieces.
Yikes, it is tough being graded whether you are a student or caregiver! We have never kept score either, that I was aware of, so I wonder if I will be notified of how far behind I am at some point . . . .
ReplyDeleteLol! I doubt you have anything to worry about!! At the moment I felt as though I wasn't doing my share. After a good discussion, I think the point was more, "I'm feeling frustrated, and this would help me." In all fairness, I should also confess to over-reacting, over-analyzing, and getting defensive rather than getting to the heart of what Forrest was trying to say. I know how many times I say something, and it's taken a completely (unintended) way. If I had settled back and talked it through, the hurt feelings could have been avoided. Then again, it probably wasn't a good time to have the conversation after Forrest worked a 10 hour shift and had just gotten home. The conversation happened about 1am...
ReplyDeleteLook at me! How many excuses can I come up with! Lol! :)
Not excuses, just reasons. everything is crystal clear when looking back!
