H and I hardly ever argue--in fact, he doesn't say anything back if I snip at him. He's a saint...but a ditz when it comes to using common sense while painting, etc. He's been installing bi-fold doors in the 2 closets, and painting them and the moulding he installed today. Well, about 2 hours ago, he came downstairs, and told me he "Spilled a bit of paint on the (1-yr-old) carpet." A bit=20" circle. I didn't blow up then, but had just spent 3 frustrating hours fighting with the vacuum (all I wanted to do today is get my downstairs cleaning done, so I could relax tomorrow, and do some outdoor work before dinner). I felt kinda ready to blow while cleaning (cursing cat fur!)--what should've been an hour job took 3 because of the vaccum (now fixed). While he was out, I went upstairs to bring laundry down to down, and saw the "little" stain. I didn't even blow then! Good so far, huh? But then, I didn't realize that he didn't wipe up the running paint on the tarp, and I backed up onto it (I was going to wipe the big stain), and got more on the carpet, and my shoes
. Boy, was I letting him have it, at the top of my lungs--but only because he wasn't home! I got so mad, I took some of his bathroom stuff, and flung it in his shower (unbreakable stuff). When he came home, I marched past him, and went out on the stoop to cool off. I then yelled about the paint, and inquired how much of a line of credit he has on HIS Lowe's card, 'cause HE was going to buy ME some laminate flooring--which is what I wanted in the first place, due to the cats (I'm the one who pays for this stuff, yet he insisted we get carpet in 2 of the bedrooms, to my objections). I'm ticked off, also, because a cat has been pooping and peeing once a day in that room. I replaced most of the floors with laminate flooring last year, which is great if this happens. I only have tile or wood laminate, except for 2 of the bedrooms.
Then I came downstairs, and saw that the cats had knocked plants over on the nice, clean floor...they were smart enough to hide when they heard me yelling at H!
I also have had very little sleep all week, due to a neck injury.
I did apologize to him, and he hugged me (but still hasn't said anything...).
I just hope the neighbors couldn't hear me sc
reaming like a banshee earlier--our houses are close together...I feel so awful for losing my temper--I usually don't!
Thanks for letting me vent! I feel like a mean, nasty wife, right now!
