I'm in the dog house

Seems that it’s time for the semi-monthly fight. Once about every 2-3 months, Mr. Athena gets mad at me, usually because I was rude to him, I didn’t show enough enthusiasm over something he was telling me, or a combination of the two. Today, it’s a combo of both. I guess I was rude to him on the phone yesterday when he wanted me to play on IM with him (I couldn’t, I was working hard on a project and couldn’t take the time away from it) and last night he was telling me something before we went to bed and I dripped scorn and boredom at him.

<sigh>

I dunno if I did any of the above. Maybe I did. Regardless, I’m in the doghouse. I hope someone remembers to fill up my dish, and give me some water. Anyone want to chew on this bone with me?


Disclaimer: Mr. Athena is the best of all possible men, I love him to death, and I get mad at him for silly things on occasion. He’s handsome and strong. I’d be lost without him. I worry about him getting on planes and going to NYC even though I know there’s next to no possibility of anything happening to him. But still, sometimes we fight. I probably was rude to him, and sometimes when I’m tired, I do have trouble listening to his stories.

“Play on IM”? What’s that?

Aw 'thenagirl…

You ain’t too bad a wife, neither! I can tell just by reading that post.

Don’t worry. You’ll be back in the house getting your tummy rubbed any time now.

Wouldn’t that be bi-monthly?

Just look at him an say “What! Are you menstrual?” Doesn’t seem to work on my wife, but maybe it’ll work on your husband.

IM = Instant Messanger. The thingy from Yahoo or AOL that lets you send instant messages back and forth. Great fun, but too big of a distraction when I need to work.

Canthearya Yup, I need a tummy rub. I didn’t mean to do anything wrong, really!

obfusciartrist: Yeah, it’s bi-monthly. My dictionary’s in the house, and I’m not allowed in there any more.

Menstrual - lol! Shhhhhh… don’t tell him… but I think you’re right. Something’s bugging him, and it ain’t really me. We’ll see if we get it figured out.
