Achievement Out Of Anger

I'm so proud of the hubster and me today.

Yesterday we watched "Braveheart" and I couldn't go to sleep right after so I decided to look up a few things on the computer while I watched some "King of the Hill." Hubby always has trouble sleeping when I don't come to bed right away so it wasn't very long before he stomped out in a grump and asked when I was coming to bed.

NIGHTMARES! NIGHTMARES!

I explained I was looking up supplements and before you know it he was plopped down scanning the home computer while I was typing away on the lappy.

Sounds nice, right?

No.

He was launching critiques and questioning the validity of my treatment plan (I went to my first appointment with the Naturopath Friday) and I was feeling horrible. It turned into a fight and I struggled to cope with my feelings and actually express myself.

I ended up writing a journal entry about the hurt feelings and having him read it. That opened up a discussion and we were able to apologize and soothe each other.

It felt so good to work through a rough patch. We both ended up on the same page and felt good about working through our argument.

Now the task is to recreate our achievement when other problems crop up!
