It is funny. Yes, I'm pissed, but I can admit its funny. And get this- Loghead tried to write the calves off as an "anniversary present." I don't know who is crazier- him or me, for marrying him?!

Goodness, when we met he was all "straight laced" business man type, but he has turned into a Green Acres kinda guy. Wanted the kids to have the same kind of upbringing on a farm (which he always described as though he hated) so 5 years ago, we moved back to the town where he was raised, and got this place, five minutes down the road from his parents.

I pretended to be asleep when he got home Wednesday. I just couldn't trust that I wouldn't say something and not cause an argument. Because I knew this would be one of those issues where he wouldn't even ATTEMPT to see my point of view. My point being that a lot of money was spent by someone for creatures on my property without at least INFORMING me of what was going on. It feels sneaky, and makes me feel disrepected and unimportant and not a part of a decision making TEAM.

So when I have issues like this, where I just gotta say my "piece" I send him an email. That way he can respond if he wants, but ignore it otherwise, but it's flagged, so I at least know he read it and has seen how I feel. So i state exactly what I wrote here- that I felt left out and disrespected, and didn't like the skids in my quiet morning routine at 6am, going out to feed the calves.

His response, "You have no idea what decisions were made. You are out in left field."

And that was it. No, 'honey, gee you're right, we should've at least told you, sorry you feel bad..."

Of course I don't know anything about it! No one told me! And then he had the nerve to text a few hours later that they are my "dowery" for our wedding anniversary. (An old joke between us, really, as we were married on a beach in Jaimaica, and my parents hated him at the time, so we always joked about how he never was paid his dowery...)

Ugh. So I'm still ticked off, but I do know it's not worth the fight... UNLESS, the skids are in my space Monday morning. I did respond back to Loghead that my request of them waiting to get up and feed the calves at 6:20 could be my compsensation for leaving me out of the loop. The time I get up from 5:15- 6:00 is my quiet time to prepare for the day and get ready. Things get a little hectic when Gibby is up at 6:00, but I sure as heck don't need the skids underfoot each morning, messing up my day before it even truly begins...

And I'd really like to know who paid for them and who plans to pay for their feed...

It's just not a battle I'm willing to tackle right now...
