It's neverending....

The Super Bowl Dilemma, which I thought was behind us, now has a new chapter.
JN has now decided that our son SJ should come to his friend's party along with us.
As I knew would happen, SJ is bummed to find out we won't be home to watch the Super Bowl with him, so this is JN's way of making himself feel better.
This idea SUCKS for two reasons: 1) the other two boys will feel bad about not coming along -- especially JM; and 2) I don't want ANY of my kids there! If we're going to a damn party, then I wanna let the obscenities fly and not feel like he's watching me every time I have a beer.
Not only does JN disagree with me, he got pissed off immediately and refused to discuss it.
Now I know he had a shitty day at work yesterday -- he even warned me not to "pick a fight" with him when he got home because he was in such a bad mood. So maybe it wasn't a bad thing that he refused to talk about it, was quiet the rest of the night and went to bed in a seemingly pissy mood.
BUT, this issue is now hanging out there, and once again, I'M the unreasonable one for thinking this is a bad idea.
I'd really like to put my foot down on this -- I feel like I'm conceding to him even going to this damn party, so I would think it's reasonable he concede to me here.
But you and I both know he won't see it that way.
So this Sunday -- with my Bears actually IN the Super Bowl -- could wind up sucking even more than I previously thought.
Unbelievable.
Part of me thinks he's just being argumentative, but I certainly could never SAY that.
I'll probably wind up giving in AGAIN....
Why would that surprise me?
I'm finding myself wishing the Bears weren't in the Super Bowl, because if they weren't, I wouldn't care NEARLY as much.
That's just fucked up.
Again, I'll keep you posted.

On a lighter note, I've got Girls Night Out again tonight (the third Thursday in row!), which should be fun.
We're just doing dinner this time, and it looks like it's just gonna be the 4 of us, which I'm looking forward to. The bigger the group, the less fun it is.
After all that bitching about JN, it is awesome he's letting me go out again -- though of course, he looks at it as he's "FINALLY getting his 'antisocial' wife outta the house," which he considers to be a major triumph on his part.
WHAT THE FUCK EVER.
Even when he's doing something awesome for me, he's gotta sour the taste in my mouth by spinning me in an unflattering light!
I'll stop complaining now....

Only 3 more days until my Bears start Super Bowl Shufflin' all over the Colts!!!!!!
Hopefully I'll be able to watch most of it and maybe even enjoy myself a bit as well.
If I'm lucky.
