Love is not Selfish

Love is not Selfish

Today’s Dare

Whatever you put your time, energy, and
money into will become more important
to you. It’s hard to care for something
you are not investing in. Along with
restraining from negative comments,
buy your spouse something that says,
“I was thinking of you today.”

Today was easier in some ways and harder in others.... Today went smoothly, other than I didnt get to give Jason his gift until long after I wanted to. The plan was when he got off of work I was supposed to pick him up, and his gift was in the front seat, well he never called, he got someone to bring him home. So, I asked him to run to the commissary with me... he wouldnt do that because it was 3 mins to 5:00 and he didnt want to have to salute the flag! Let me tell you how MAD that made me... and I wanted to yell and scream and take the dame thing back to the store! lol. But, instead, I made myself stay calm gave him a kiss and told him I would be back in a few.

 I went to the car called up a girlfriend and vented my annoyances with myself. Why should it make me so angry that I couldnt do what I wanted right then! And, I am supposed to be practicing patients and selflessness! WTF. I did do myself justice by not complaining about Jason, but about the fact that I was disappointed that he didnt want my gift (that he didnt know he was getting) right then. He was tired from work today and not getting much sleep last night... and the kids were vying for his attention.

I am proud of myself for sticking with it and in the end when I did give it to him after bedtime... he was very happy. (Though he did mention that I had just told him we couldnt spend any money.) BTW... finally got him W.O.W. and if he gets addicted to it I refrain the right to take it off the pc and break the disk into little pieces.
