Many times a day, I find myself forgetting things. Mostly I forget stupid shit.
I forget to grab the laundry that is upstairs and I will have to make an extra trip. I may forget to take out meat to thaw for dinner. I have even been known to forget to eat breakfast or lunch.
I’m starting to think it’s not my fault. Hubs must ask me a million questions when he gets home.
Did you check the mail? Of course I did. It’s raining and I don’t want it to get wet. Did I get anything? All of it is right there. If you don’t see it, it didn’t come. Are you sure? No, I am hiding it all so I can gift wrap it for Christmas! Did you mail out the bills? No, I want to give all the clients a free ride so we can live on the street someday. Did you pay our bills? No, Let me remind you that I want to live on the street.
When it comes to the business, I don’t fuck around. The billing gets done in a timely manner. Many of our assholes clients only pay their bills one day out of the month. I don’t want to be told that our billing has to wait an extra month before it gets paid. To top it all off, I don’t want to see the clutter of paperwork, so I try to get rid of as much of it as I can.
Lately, I find myself trying to remember if I did these things. Of course I did. I know I did. But if he keeps doubting me or reminding me ten times after they are done, it makes me doubt myself. Why doesn’t he trust me? I’ve never given him a reason to believe otherwise!
He is on my last nerve tonight. The questions started as he came in the door. They continued after dinner. He’s been on my back all night!
All of the checks were written out. All of the bills are labeled. They are all sealed, stamped and ready to go to the post office.
FUCK!
I forgot to pick up the stamps!

on August 22, 2008 at 10:31 AMI get the same way. If someone makes me question my sanity I start second guessing myself.
turn the tables and start asking him what he’s been doing as far as his responsibilities.
