It was 11 o'clock at night and I did not feel like being up all night fighting over whether or not his daughter cleaned the kitchen, or why someone hadn't put the clothes in the dryer earlier. I know it would have been an all nighter because I have said the first thing that came out of my mouth, you will notice I didn't say the first thing that popped into my mind, and it has ended up with me at my daughter's house to stop the yelling. The stress doesn't help me either.

Another thing that happens is I will be trying not to fight so I don't say anything and that makes him mad because I am NOT talking to him.

I can't blame anything on coming off or going on another medicine. I am doing ok (not pain free, but pain less) and I am afraid to change anything because I don't want a big flare.

My daughter who lives with us heard on the tv that some people think fibro is not a real disease and she wants to know why I say I hurt when there is no such thing. She was just kidding so I told her that it is a disease and the children who don't treat you right and help you out inherit it. She says she is not scared because how can she inherit something that I made up in my head and how did I get all you guys to join me in my cult and why are we trying to convince the world that we have a disease no one has heard of.

She was just joking because she has seen people say it is not real and she has seen me hurt and she knows the pain is real.

Sometimes when I get to feeling like I am just looking for an argument I wonder if I would be better off living by myself. At least then the only person I would have to argue with is me. I can just see that, I am standing in front of the mirror arguing about the spots of toothpaste on the mirror and who put them there and why didn't someone clean them off.

See, I am not a neat freak and I don't see why some of these picky things can really set me off but they do.

AAHHHHHHHH HAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH Now I know it is my last nerve just snapped. I will tell them that when I am in the hospital because I just snapped and whacked my 6'2" 350 lb. husband. I am 4'10" and weigh 160 and his last nerve just snapped and he whacked me. He is mostly muscle and I am sure if he whacks me I am going to the hospital

I didn't argue when I was married to my ex. He was an alcoholic and if I yelled at him and he was drunk he didn't remember it the next day and if I waited til the next day it didn't seem to make any difference anyway. So no use arguing.

my dh though really gets an ear full when he crosses me and I don't know why because he doesn't drink and he works really hard. It is just sometimes I feel like I am just looking for a fight.

Hey, I just thought of something, maybe I can loose weight by getting rid of all the hot air I saved up from my first husband. You know stored up air I should have let out a long time ago.

If I got rid of all my hot air there wouldn't be anything left of me besides my shoes and a pair of lips and they would still be talking.

If I try to leave the room and go somewhere else to cool off, hubby tags right along and just keeps egging it on. Wouldn't it be nice if all of us went in together and bought a large commune. When we got PO'd we could go there, get away from hubby. When you got there and found someone else there, you just left them alone so they could get over their "Mad On" too.

Be wise and dignified like the swan: he maintains his composure, staying unruffled on the surface, while always paddling like crazy underneath.

Ding Ding Ding....aaannnnndddDDD it's the Friday night fights... In corner #1 is JanFromTN weighing in at 160lbs and 4 ft tall. In the other corner is Spruce1. Round 1 starts with an exciting physical fight. Their duking it out pretty good...getting all those pent up frustrations out and they got each other pinned to the mat..."Smack" Sucker punch.. You go girls...get it all outta your system.. JanfromTN is used to jumping on her 6'2" 350lb hunk of a husband and riding him around the yard..., so she's a good rider...Aaaahhhh then comes in Mcbeth. Poooosssshhh..Oh no, McBeth has exploded with all her ex-husbands hot air...oh Folks..dust is everywhere covering the crowd. Wow, what a move!

Aaahhhh the girls are tired out, but what are those smiles on their faces?? Gee....I think their happier now!! Could it be they got all their inner grouchy feelings out in the open? Aaahhh we may never know! Good Night Folks...Drive safe and sleep well.

I am so glad I could bring a smile to at least one persons face tonight. Personally, I was laughing very hard when I was writing my 'fight play'. I can still see JanfromTN riding around the yard on her husbands back yelling 'Yippee Kie-AAAAA, hee haw!!. Oh god, my sides hurt now from laughing at myself. I crack myself up at times...hahaha

See what Fibro does to us? We develop a very warped sense of humor!!

Oh Spruce1...your a cutup with all your built up air!! Your Funny. Now I want everyone to have a good nights sleep. And hope that we all wake up tomorrow morning ready to take on the world in a "good" mood! Dea
