We had planned yesterday to go to the lake today. Have a picnic down there and he was going to do some fishing while I got some sun and did some reading. Then maybe go for a walk before we left.

NOW he changed his mind... thinks we need to stay home and work on the front porch( its built in and we use for storage) So we can get ready for a garage sale. So I told him that if we do that then we are going to go to the movies tonight to see Indiana Jones and out to eat.

So what should I agree to now? We've been working around here alot..thought that the trip to the lake would be nice. But I also want to see Indiana Jones lol. I hate it when he does this!!

HELP!!! LOL

I think the compromise is going to be the better thing for now. He seems ok with that. That way we get something more accompished here in case he does get this job that he's interviewed for. I think I'd rather have less work to do if we do have to move lol.

And Kath.. I was kinda thinking of doing that.. thanks for suggesting it too.

Rhap... I think today would have been a perfect day at the lake. Supposed to get up to 84 and nice breeze.. And muffy almost had me talked into wearing my swimsuit too!! LOL Hubby would have had strict instructions not to take pictures though lol.. Course I do know how to delete them.. he doesnt lol hahhahaa

Thanks Ladies !!! Its gonna work out just fine I think.

If you will be ok with this emotionally then I say go for it..... if you might have some resentment build up over having to bend but once again - I say fight a little more for what you want - as I know far to many people that compromise over and over again early in the marriage / relationship and they end up resenting their partner later in life.

Just want to make sure you are OK in the here and now - and later in life.

AND....... I hear you about the NO PICS thing - as I would have said the same thing. He's making me choose....

I'm fine with the compromise.. I'm glad he is willing to do that. And if the weather holds up.. we'll plan on going later this week. Although they are forcasting thunderstorms up till next Tuesday!! LOL.. but most days are only like 20-30 % chances. I'll watch the weather closely and go from there. I am happy to be getting something done also.

WMD.. your trying to get me into trouble.. stop that!!!! LOL

Gonna go put my tunes on and do some work!! Thanks for all your replies!!!

We've got half of the front porch loaded into the living room and dining room and its almost filled up!! LOL.. I've kept so much of my mom and dads stuff.. for memory sake.. but I know if we move into a smaller house there is no way I can take all this with me.. now to figure out how to part with it. I guess I need to figure out if I should give some to some family members (grumbles LOL) or garage sale and then charity.I wouldnt mind giving it to some family if I knew they would appreciate it. But so many of them dont take good care of what they got. Thats what makes me concerned about doing that.Guess I got lots of thinkin to do!
