So, I was suppose to leave work last night at 4:45. At 4:43 the CIO of our company walks into my cube with a big issue for one of our major clients. By 5pm, I am still at work. P calls me and says he left work at 4:30 and is halfway home. I ask him if he can get B for me and tell him I have this big issue at work and I'll be late. I am stuck at work until almost 6pm. I don't get home until 6:40. P was livid! He was so mad at me. Yelling at me and telling me how selfish I am and how it is obvious that I don't put family first and how he does so much for our family and I have a double standard.... B's crying saying this is the worse Halloween ever. It was not a fun night!
P took B trick or treating for an hour or so and by the time he got back he had calmed down. He sort of apologized. And we just let the whole thing go.
I know he when he gets stressed and overwhelmed by things he kind of loses it. It is one thing about him that drives me nuts. I know it was not a fun situation and I did the best I could. I know he knows that, but at the time he was just so unglued and frazzled. After 15 years, I still haven't figured out how to handle him when he is like that.
One a sad note, my neighbor just dropped off the kids (we take them to school everyday) and she was crying. Her dog had a stroke last night. She's been really declining the past year. She's 13 years old. I felt so bad for her. She says it's time. She's going to call the vet today. I was just so heartbroken for her. I never had pets growing up but now that I have a cat & dog of my own I know how much they become a part of your family. I dread the day something happens to Sam or Maggie.
Well, must go push my son out of bed again. This will be my 3rd attempt! He is definitely my kid!
Toodles!
