Oh, what am I thinking? these people are having a rough night.
Okay, it was a rough night for me (and, of course, it’s all about me)
A list:
- my son got in trouble at school. Don’t know what, yet, but apparently the principal is now involved.
- My wife is stressed about life in general and this week in particular.
- We lost our soccer game.
- Badly.
- I was goalie in the first half.
- The first shot on goal hit me in the face and bent my glasses.
- They were all wonky the rest of the game.
- I later fell chasing a ball and tripped over another player. I think I bruised or cracked a rib. How can you tell? It hurts, I know that.
- Upon returning home my wife was twice as stressed as before and every child in the house was crying.
- I pissed her off worse by saying I wasn’t hungry for dinner (which she had somehow managed to prepare). She went to bed w/the kids, but not before asking me to go to the store.
- one hour at the wholesale club to get five things.
- Two things were large and heavy (matresses), and I had to get them out of the car tonite.
- Did I mention I hurt my ribs?
- Based on past experience, I can expect my wife to not speak to me for at least a week.
- Her sister is coming Friday.
- For two nights.
- Along with her family of six.
- I guess a blow job is out of the question.
- We have one working shower in this house and two toilets.
- Out of eleven humans in our house this weekend, five are children under the age of six (youngest is one).
- Bring it on.
