The kids are great as always. They are actually both a bit under the weather. Spencer was very cranky today and Rachel has been very needy too. But other than that, they are great. Spencer is saying more words everyday. Yippee! His favorite lately is 'noo!' lol
My mom and Karen came up to see them today, which was nice. Then T/L came up in the evening for date night. Rachel didn't take a second nap at all, but she wasn't too bad. She only gets fussy when she sees me and remembers that I exist and realizes that I'm not holding her. As soon as I'm holding her OR I'm out of sight long enough to be out of mind, she's fine again. She's going to be a handful at 2.
I painted the wall of the basement room today. It is a good match for the pool table felt and should look really good if I ever get the stuff off of it and back on my desk ;o).
Mike was in a better mood, but was being a real jerk. He made fun of me several different times in a 2 hour span of time we were together tonight. He said, "what, are you mad at me for giving you shit?" and I said "yes, it gets old". First it was that I ordered a large coffee with 4 splenda packets at starbucks. "Four Splenda?" Yes, I like it sweet, so the fuck what? When we were in Ikea and I couldn't remember where the stairs were to go down, he said, "Ha, you're lost, that's funny", like a kid on the playground pointing and laughing at another kid. Why is it funny that I'm lost? Oh, because I've been there before (once). It wasn't a joke, there was no punchline. When I asked him why it was funny, he told me and then said "geesh" like I'm just being over sensitive. And maybe I am, but I'm getting tired of the constant put downs. He came downstairs while I was painting and didn't say a word about the fact that half the wall was blue. He just talked about him and his stuff - no 'good job' or 'nice color' or anything. Later he came down and said it looked "pretty good". Considering the highest compliment he's given anything else recently is "not too bad", I guess I should be happy, but no. Maybe if he said something nice occasionally to balance it. I don't know. I told him that my friend said she would keep her eyes and ears peeled for job openings for him. He said something about she's jewish and so she knows a bunch of rich people. What????? I told him to stop making fun of her and say thank you. I tried to call to get an appt for counseling yesterday and they told me that they would have Heather call me today. It didn't sound right, I think she maybe leaving the practice. Maybe I can get us in to see someone else there. I want to be around him less and less, because I get tired of defending myself and hearing him complain about everyone and everything.
