Yesterday I hit a milestone for me. I have lost 101 pounds so far on my diet! I was very excited when I stepped on the scale yesterday morning. It has been a very hard journey, but I am so happy that it totally makes up for the hard parts. Yay me!
OK, I know that I have done this (although I think I can honestly say I try not to because it isn't fair to my hubby) and I'm pretty sure that you have too. You go do something without "asking for permission" (not that we really have to ask, but saying something to our significant other would probably have been a better choice) so now you ask for forgiveness (because you should have said something to begin with and your spouses feeling are hurt). Knowing that I have done it doesn't make it right and having it done to me really sucks! Last night my hubby was on his way home and it started raining really bad. He called a friend and he said to stop on by and wait the weather out so my hubby did. Did it ever cross my hubby's mind to give me a call, text, anything? Nope. Bad storm and all. I got tired of waiting and went to bed. I figured if something happened to him that I would get a phone call eventually. I was tired and have to get up early for work. When my alarm clock went off this morning, low and behold, there he was in bed with me. I got up, went into the kitchen and made up both a cup of coffee and checked my phone. He had written me a text at 9:38 saying he was sorry, had stopped at a friends and is now on his way home. He had gotten there about 8:10 and I went to bed at 8:45 or so. He was really sorry this morning and I said, you know, you should have let me know at 8:10 so I would have at least known he was OK. Oh, I know, I know, came his reply. Well, if you know then why don't you do it??? It really hurts my feelings that I wasn't even a thought to him until after he had done what he wanted to do. And, he knows me, so he knew that I would have already been in bed by the time he sent the text. I am so irritated!
Another thing. I really don't want this to be a political blog, but I have to throw my 2 cents worth out there over SB1070 (Arizona's New Immigration Law). I live in Arizona. I have lived here for about 15 years or so. I have absolutely no problem with immigrants coming here and making a living going through the proper channels. As a matter of fact, I have a couple of friends that are here on work visa's. They are doing it the right way and they are also in the process of becoming citizen's. What I do have a problem with is someone "hoping the fence" and setting up camp. I wouldn't allow a stranger to hop my fence and set up camp in my backyard, so why should the United States of America do this? I do not understand why this concept is so hard for some people to understand. The news media was showing people who are against SB1070 picketing in downtown, holding signs that read "We Have Rights". NO YOU DON'T! If you are here illegally, you don't have any rights! I am just perplexed by this whole situation. If any of us went to another country and refused to leave they would forcefully make us leave. Why can't we do that?
