This weekend has not started off well at all!  Friday, I had a fight with a good friend of mine. I'm at the point where I feel like I am going to have to sever ties with him. I don't feel like putting up with his condescending arrogance anymore. I told him to take his over-inflated ego and shove it up his ass.  Next, my husband and I got into a huge fight because I didn't want to help him clean up the house when he wanted me to. I wanted him to help me clean last weekend, but of course he had so much to do. He is always putting things off until the last minute and then spends most of his time and energy trying to make up for it later. Our garage door opener stopped working in September -- he just bought one this past Thursday.  Even though I'd been pleading with him to buy one since October (I gave him a month to do it without me nagging,) I finally had to tell him to buy one by the end of the week or don't come home!

 I have to go to extremes like that for him to finally get ANYTHING done. My husband is a graphic artist /designer, one day, my father gave him some old family photos to retouch. He gave the photos to my husband a few months before my daughter was born.  I would mention them from time to time and all I would get is a "yeah, I'm working on them"  or "I'm getting around to them."  Finally, around the time my daughter turned THREE, I put my foot down and said "If I told your father that I was going to do something for him and it took me three years to do it, you'd be highly pissed at me! I am not talking to you until those photos are done!" My dad got the pictures that weekend.

Now, he has the nerve to get angry with me because I didn't feel like cleaning up when he wanted me to? Apparently, when he wants something done, it's more important than when I want something done.  I have no idea why he felt like he had to jump up and down and shout at me. (yes, he was actually jumping up and down and shouting at me!)It upset my daughter terribly.  My husband hardly ever shouts, as a matter of fact, I am the one who does most of the shouting.  I don't know what his problem was today. 

I know my problem is that I keep allowing people to take me for granted and when I don't feel like being taken for granted, it angers them. My friend or should I say ex-friend took for granted that he could be an asshole to me and still expect me to be his friend the next day. My husband just assumes that I'm going to be on his "schedule" or feel like doing things because he feels like doing them. Well, I feel like being an obstinate bitch. If they don't like it, they can kiss my big, black ass on the way out the door!
