Change name to sleepingbeauty LOL

I offically am changing my name from khmerbeauty to sleeping beauty.  I slept and slept and slept.  I had the most horrible night last night and for once not from my own making.  Rod had a issue with me brought it up and just slammed me with it.  I did started a tantrum and reverted to a 5 yr old…but did grow up during the fight.  Somewhere along the way I just didn’t feel like fighting anymore.  I just got tired.

He does his I’m going to leave and cool down.  I decided, not calling you or stopping you.   Hmmmmmmmmmmm, didn’t stay git to long.  Came back within’ 1/2 an hour.

Instead of continuing a fight I decided to sleep - at 9:30.  I slept and slept and slept.  But you know, I don’t feel as fresh and awake as I want. :(

Anyhooooooooooooo, my inflamed left arm is much better.   Still can’t do any Pilates tonight.  Today I’ll walk 5 miles during my breaks and lunches - sun permitted and kickboxing.

What I am proud of: previous fights I used to hurl stuff across the room and punch holes in walls.

Countless boxes of broken glassware $50

Fix holes in walls after moving $500

These last two yrs -

Holes in wall = $0

Broken glasses = $0

Keeping sane = PRICELESS

Do I still want to throw stuff?  Yes, but changes - one day at a time.

Hmmmmmmmm I stil have a bad attitude today.  Hoping to read blogs throughout the work day to cheer me up.

    That is great! It’s amazing how truly changing one part of our lives spills over into other areas. Hope your day improves and you are able to work everything out with Rod.

    I hate when I get into a fight with hubby. however, I always make sure we pack things up right away becuase he has a high risk job and one day he could go out in his truck and not come back. I always worry that and don’t want to be the last thing I remember to be a fight. So I am a bit of a sucker for fighting and then smoothing thing over a hour later. Glad to hear the arm is feeling better.

    1 moment at a time, be proud of yourself, you truly should. :)

  7. ashleymeyer @ July 8th, 2009

    Hope your day gets better! Congrats on not throwing stuff… one day at a time, right?

  8. Raytchaelle @ July 8th, 2009

    Glad your arm is getting better. Good job not throwing things… I always want to throw stuff or hit someone when angry… but rarely ever do.
    Hope your day improves and tomorrow will be even better!

    Oh girl, I’m with you. When I was married to my ex-I flew into rages and broke things all the time. With my Rob, I have never done that! It’s a totally different world! Changes come slowly, you are doing wonderful!

  11. SteviesThoughts @ July 8th, 2009

    haha, poor thing -cheer up. Sorry your bad day yesterday followed you into today. But hey, there’s always tom! Hang in there.

    OMG, lol! My husband USED to be like that in our old house. We haven’t fought in a year, and then had our daughter so thank GOD he stopped. LOL I’m not a puncher. I’m a “retrieve and self-destruct” kind of person, or I’d used to be VERY verbal. Then I saw myself on video tape and stopped. Congrats on changing those ways! If ever it comes back video tape yourself and watch it when you cooled down. You’ll see, you’ll change your ways quick! lol

    Congrats on not reverting to old habits! Sometimes when I argue with my hubby I have a sitcom moment where I blank into space and see myself throwing him into something; but I come out of it and later am glad I did not do it. One step at a time!

  14. mrswilson @ July 8th, 2009

    Ok..it must have been fight with stubborn men day yesterday…becuz my babe and I got into it too. I don’t get upset..I get silent. That drives him nuts..and he comes and apologizes. But..last night we didnt talk for an hr. I have only been married almost 4 months..but that was our longest silence.

  18. nisey140 @ July 8th, 2009

    You are like a firecracker, once you lit it, oh hell stand back… LOL, anyhow, stay up and glad to hear about your arm being better…

    Priceless! Great job Nancy!!!

    I hope these comments and well as some of the blogs make you a little more cheery today!

    Hope you have a wonderful day!!! =]

    I was never good at fighting in my last relationship. I always got upset and cried and never stood up for myself…but now that I feel more confident, I think I might start throwing stuff too…wow
    glad you moved away from throwing things though! my one aunt threw her boyfriend/husband down the stairs during one fight…

  21. khmerbeauty @ July 8th, 2009

    ROFLMAO!!!!!!! Dagny, somehow I’m not surprised because your family is an interesting/fun one. hmmmmmmm..nope - haven’t done that one!

  22. not2late4tina @ July 8th, 2009

    Great job on the self control. Things just slip out of my hands when I have a big fight. Fortunately we have bad aim in my family. My mom threw a pot of boiling potatoes at my dad; he dodged it.

  23. sabinaboo @ July 9th, 2009

    speaking of throwing things when i was little (this was back in the middle east) we were sitting outside and my uncle’s wife was making stuffed cabbage and he got home and was mad that dinner wasn’t ready yet and don’t remember who but someone threw the whole pot across the yard and the stuffed cabbages unwrapped and flew all over the place including the neighbor’s yard and the old neighbor lady ran outside and was like “oh my GOD where did all these doves fly in from?!!?” to this day we refer to it as the “dove incident”

  24. easybreezy @ July 9th, 2009

    Oh wow you used to throw things and punch holes in the wall well I’m glad theres a new Nancy in town it just doesn’t sound like you I guess people do change, but for the better :]

  25. kamaperry @ July 9th, 2009

    Talk about progress!! You have come a long way!! I once broke an entire set of dishes in anger. Plus I was so mad I tried to break a beer bottle and the stupid thing wouldn’t break!! So glad to not have to feel like that. I still get mad too, but at least we have better ways of coping. Sounds like you needed the rest, glad you got it. ((((((((Nancy))))))))))

  26. shellibean @ July 9th, 2009

    In old relationships I used to avoid fights and shouting and would do passive aggressive stuff - like silences and sarcasm

    No chance now as OH is fiery. If something is on his mind he shouts about it immediately - I do worry that he’ll explode one day like cartoon character or have a heart attack

    Mostly these days it just makes me laugh!! - almost everything does - arguing about crap is pointless in my view. If we have serious issues to discuss we sit down over dinner and do it in non judgemental way - this mostly works - but is hard on the emotions.

    Lot of Love Nancy - NB Haters? - send them over to me - I’ll slay em for you!

  27. AuntTeeTee @ July 9th, 2009

    men….grrrrr mine woke me up arguing.

    Glad to hear you have learned alot & changed. My dad used to make us go out & throw bricks or something when we got mad. That way we got our anger out, got tired (lol) and didnt hurt anything. ;)
