Sigh. I suck.

Last night L. and I went out with new friends we want to get to know better. It was a nice night out after spending the whole day managing the kids

Poor fing. You are wonderful, and you do not suck. I suck for having been Simming instead of coming down to rescue you (but things were so quiet, I assumed everything was fine). And you were your usual sparkling, graceful self last night. No more flagellation! That's an order. :-*

You do not suck. I was the one who told you to go and rest, and besides, I know exactly how easy it is to get sucked into those games and not have any idea how much time is passing.

I think J. should be an actress. Or a writer. She knows how to emote well. Those are some pretty intense and melodramatic points to make regarding a cat.

Eh, you get a pass on the comment at dinner. If it happens again, just pour a drink on yourself and say, "ghosts..."

[gansje]

She should definitely capitalize upon her flair for the dramatic! I would like it very much if she became an actress and then paid for all the therapy L and I are going to need after she's grown.

ETA: I am familiar with pouring a drink into myself but not onto myself! Is that a thing? I am so behind...

I've said worse, and I'm still married to the same person. You're probably safe. ;)

LOL! Thanks -- that helps! I hate being an ass. He's a very good guy.

*hugs* Honey, you had a TERRIBLE day - shrieking? Directed, sustained shrieking AT you? Plus the emotional theatrics and the stress and the ugh. Give yourself a break. You said something snarky - it slipped out after a few drinks, and I bet you realized as soon as it passed your lips that it was hurtful and should have stayed inside. Give yourself a hug, give L a hug, and revel in the peace and quiet for a little while. It's ok, and it's going to be ok.

I get in cycles where I beat myself up, too - my therapist likened it to driving a car into a ditch by accident and then sitting there among the muck and beer cans and weeds. Sometimes, you just gotta move on. It sure isn't great that you got into the ditch, but it's better to leave it behind. *all the hugs*

*All the hugs back* What would I do without you?

xxooxxoo

[cislyn]

*all the hugs and love* You're wonderful, and you'd be just as wonderful without me around to remind you. But I'm happy to do it.

This sounds just so trying. You deserve a medal. And even more alcohol.
