Manifest My Desire

How do I say this delicately... when I'm hungry I am especially b*tchy. It's Sunday and hubby has been at the office all day. He proposed that I come over to his office for dinner and afterwards we could work together. He would do his boring business crap-o-la and I would edit his newest publication. Seemed like a plan!

On my drive over to hubby's office, he called me and asked when he should order dinner. I told him to order right away as he was hungry and to put my salad in the fridge. Hubby thought it was better to wait b/c he didn't want the potential conflict of the delivery guy showing up when hubby was outside helping me find parking to arise. I assured him that this conflict would not occur. He started being neurotic. I started getting frustrated. I was hungry and I didn't want to wait for the food. This is usually when b*tch mode could strike.

I took a deep breath. I thought about hubby's neuroses and how they make him who he is, insanely adorable. I started thinking about how grateful I was to have this wonderful man who took the time to read the entire salad section of a menu to me more than once while I spent several minutes trying to figure out my order. I started smiling. All of my frustration disappeared instantly.

Yes, I do agree that we all have a right to our own feelings and emotions. But honestly, do negative emotions ever truly help us out? Well... I will be the first to admit that make-up sex is pretty damn hot, but I could skip out on the fighting and dive "head" first into steamy love-making, no?
