One more thing (or two)

In my recap I forgot to mention I had tickets to see Kris Allen but we couldn't find a sitter for what was going to be an all day event. I had even asked my parents to come down but they couldn't. Even though I'd still really like to see Kris perform again (saw him on the AI tour) it turned out okay because a) I didn't have to sit in the hot hot sun all day and b) we had a nice little getaway weekend thanks to our sister-in-law.

I also forgot to mention that I ordered an early birthday gift for myself, after clearing it with Hyde first. The Eagles are on tour and one of their stops is nearby. I'm very very excited. Love music of all kinds but especially theirs.

In a related manner, this will sound all too familiar to those who've known me for a few years, Hyde forbade me from attending the concert. Said that if I went on my own to find somewhere else to sleep and to forget about taking ShortStuff. He was still mad about Friday night. Let's go back in time for a bit.

While ShortStuff's fever was skyrocketing I had been texting a friend whose children had just had same thing. Hyde had asked me twice to ask her how high their fever had gotten. I had asked but hadn't heard back. Then after the first vomiting episode we had gotten everything cleaned up and I was getting ShortStuff back down. He came in and said can you ask ...I assumed he was going to ask me for a third time about how high the fever had gotten for our friend's children. I interruped and said I already asked. That was all I said when he started in Friday night (which prompted the previous post).

Apparently this has been simmering for the past two days and he had twisted it into this huge humiliation and ultimate show of disrespect. (His words.) Hence the forbidding of attending the Eagles concert. Several years back he did the same with Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen & seems like one other concert too. He spewed venom for a while today. I told him he was taking something fairly minor said when we were both worried and imbuing (imbibing?) it with evil intent when it was really just a gut reaction of a scared mom.

He muttered fine we can go to the concert and then took the trash out and acts like nothing happened.
