Trains pains and Theatres with patience

'Trains, pains and theatres with patience'

Every couple argue, in my book it's healthy to have a bloody good shout to clear the air. I prefer the shouting kind of man rather than the sulky kind of man. Years ago I went out with a chap who if he didn't get his own way would refuse to talk to me for sometimes days. I got very sick of his sulking and kicked him into touch very quickly, I'm not one to pander and beg a man to talk to me nor will I not stand my ground if I honestly believe either my opinion is correct or valued. It can be very frustrating therefore living with a literal thinking man and it can be a challenge to say the least! 

When we got married, only a few years ago, my very much missed mother-in-law actually publicly thanked me for not killing him much to everyone's amusement but she was not joking - not really. How can you go through life without being able to scream obscenities and know the person on the receiving end knows you really don't mean it. It's just you letting off steam as you've either have had enough of all the questions or have had a bad day. This is the reason I held back on writing this blog as I do not want Jon to become a figure of fun - it's not like that at all But if I can make just one person laugh, I will be delighted.

I have received some wonderful comments a few have actually made me cry, this crazy mix of counselling and patience is and has been my life. It's a life I wouldn't change for the world but I have craved the odd day off now and again. You see I see it like this, when my girls were little if I went shopping and I went through the checkout loaded with shiny  sweets I knew they would play up! So I would wait in one that didn't have any sweets, my choice which made life easier unless of course some person in front had shed loads of food with not enough money. It did happen to me once, haha - but you get what I'm saying  obviously (sorry I'm rambling). Well my life is like that, I have to plan in advance, no instant days out, no short cuts home, no surprise presents or parties - every thing is planned. It can make for an exciting Christmas I can tell you, but that's another blog post. 

We went to the theatre today, a treat for me as my fibromyalgia has been shocking again - some more in another post later about that. I was pleased the people we sat next to were not drowning in perfume nor did they sing or talk to much (Things like that I dread as they can spoil our trip - Jon cannot stand it). It turns out the show was delightful, no one ate noisy crisps or kicked the back of the seats, then as we left, behind us I noticed a small boy about 5 dressed from head to toe in a Darth Vader costume including mask !!  He marched past with a swish of his cape ....So cute !

May the force be with you............

Today has been a good day x
