A Challenging day, hey !!!

A hell of a day, today was.  I must have had the urge to throttle R about a dozen times.  My R is a wonderful guy 99 % of the time but when he does go over to the dark side...he doesn't just dip his toe in and test the water but plunges in with all the gusto of a 300 lb belly flopping teenager in his best friends backyard pool.   Re: the Dr. and diet fiasco....need I say more... 

Today wasn't quite that bad but he does seem to bring out the worst in me.. I figure it has to do with not having any other family to fixate or vent on... all my frustration and impotence is let loose on him.  He goes around buffing his halo though when other people are watching and some how it makes him just a little less sympathy deserving in my eyes...(what a martyr).  I mean a truly whipped man should walk around with his knuckles dragging on the ground and the sound of the bull whip cracking over his back everytime you glance his way...

Men can be so dense...most of the time...and then when you finally lose your cool...they manage to look so bloody shocked and clueless...you just want to beat them even harder....

Deep breath.....aaaaaawwwwwwww    okay, R is still alive...for those of you who were wondering... I really wasn't mad AT him...the stress of the past week and up coming days is taking its toll on me... I used to be able to deal with anything life threw at me..but after a few traumatic events in my life I don't handle  it all that well anymore... it tends to manifest itself in aggression and sarcasm... to bad for R....ahahahha

We took the quads to the mechanic for a good going over and they should run good as new when he is done....it's MY GUY...you know, the guy you go to for repairs....or the guy you call to fix your plumbing...or your computer...this is my quad guy...his son and my son where friends in kindergarden...hahaha  we have history...

Yesterday at the auction place...I caught a glimpse of another guy whose son my son went to school with...he and his wife had a very public parting of the ways  when the boys were still in elementary school...then when Sid passed away...and I was taking my son for Junior High orientation I met this guy Trevor again...the boys were talking and so we talked...he asked me out for a coffee sometime...then a few days later he called and asked me out for supper...I declined...then met R not long after. A few years later...R and I were buying a new field disc...and Trevor was the sales man...he brought the disc out and while R was trying it out in the field Trevor and I sat in the truck....he asked me if I was happy...I asked him if he had remarried...and then somehow he started whining to me about what was the matter with him that the women in his life always left..him... I was thinking it might have had something to do with the whining..hahaha

Any way, I have seen him from time to time in town...and then yesterday.... and wow...was I even more glad I had declined the dinner dates....hahahaha  not that I am any great prize...but yesterday.. yikes....   he has gained about 200 lbs...his hair is nearly gone and what was left was sticking straight up...he had food stains on the front of his shirt...looked like mustard....he had a cigarette sticking out of one side of his mouth and a toothpick out of the other.  and when he was bent over showing someone one of the balers....he gifted us all with one of the biggest plumber cracks I have ever seen... OMG   i mean big enough to rival the grand canyon...hahahah  poor trev...  When he waved...I just nodded and took R's hand...

Tomorrow I have to cook some chili....I am serving it for lunch on thursday with homemade garlic toast... and then on friday I am serving beef bourginion.. with red wine....hmmmmmmm and homemade cheese biscuits... I make awesome biscuits...chocolate cream pie for dessert.
