All week long I look forward to the weekend, for one reason, and one reason only, because Taylor doesn't have to work on Saturdays and we get to hang out all day.
I suppose since we're going to spend thousands of Saturdays together in our lifetime, I should expect some of them to be a bust. And this Saturday was a bust.
I don't really know what it was but a couple hours after waking up, I found myself snapping at Taylor for no reason.
And it
all went
downhill
from there.
We went to the grocery store and disagreed about pretty much every single thing that went in our cart. And Publix was really busy, so I'm sure the other people in there thought we were nuts. THEN, it got to the point where I would be like, "We need this, let's get this brand of it." and Taylor would be like, "Um, no, we need this brand." and then I would be all, "FINE!! FINE! FINE. JUST GET IT. YOU'RE RIGHT .YOU'RE ALWAYS RIGHT." And I would storm off, but then obviously have to come right back, cause where am I supposed to go?
So, as the day went on it was like that with every single thing that happened. I found that the worse mood I got in, the more it rubbed off onto Taylor. And before I knew it we were both in such rotten moods, and I realized that no matter how hard I tried to convince myself that it was all his fault, I couldn't. Because it was actually my fault. But it was TOO LATE to fix it, because I'm prideful and once I pick an emotion, I stick with it.
Later on, on our way to Stake Conference, I finally told him I was sorry for being so mean. And he also apologized.
Afterwards we went and got ChikFilA and laughed about how we hated each other all day.
Then we went home and made out.
And now we love each other again.
On a slightly related note, here's my book recommendation for wives and future wives:
The only rule is that if you're going to read it, you have to put aside whatever triggers you to be offended by things, and open up your mind. Because otherwise, you're going to be mad and feel like she's saying it's entirely the woman's fault. Which she kind of is, but that's because, if you married a normal, nice guy (like me), it usually IS the woman's fault (just like Saturday being ihateUday, was pretty much my fault.) .. Anyway, you'll have to read and tell me what you think. I don't necessarily agree with everything in the entire book, but I feel like she definitely brings up some good points.

Great book. I am really sensitive and I didn't think I would like her book after hearing a few of her comments on the show. However, I agreed with most of her points and really enjoyed her perspective. It was enlightening to understand that a woman's attitude can make or break the marriage!
Wow. You even told us the part where you made out. I don't know if I am grossed out by that or if I love that you were honest. It's probably the latter.
