Its been awhile but here's Lesson 6

Sorry its been so long since i have written. I have been crazy busy! With the wedding coming up in only 2 more months and tons of school work I don't know how I'm going to get through the next few weeks!!!

Anyway, back to my last dare.
It was easy, just ask him what three things I do that pisses him off basically.
It took him a min to come up with the answer, which made me happy that whatever my issues were they weren't sitting on the tip of his tongue, ready and waiting to explode from his mouth.
The first one made me smile a little. He said it really bugs him when i leave the toilet seat up. Your probably thinking "what the heck???" lol, but he didn't mean the actual seat, he meant just the lid. When I go to the bathroom, he always has the lid down so the dog will not drink out of the toilet. So i have to up the lid to go. This doesn't bug me but i ALWAYS ALWAYS forget to put the thing back down. At one point in time this pissed him off so much that he decided since i couldn't put the lid down, he couldn't put the seat down! OH it really irritated me to have to put the seat down before i could go to the bathroom, so for awhile, i made a little more of an effort to put the lid down afterwards. After awhile i started to forget again. I can now understand why this might make him a little irritated.
The next thing he said irritated him was the fact that I'm so nosey. I'm not nosey a little, I'm nosey A LOT! I always want to know who he's texting, or who he's talking to. This might not sound too bad, until you understand the extent of my nosiness. Its not just with Jason, its with everyone! I don't care is its my mother, brother, or grandmother! If they are doing something or talking to someone and i don't know who or what its about, I'm gonna ask. Most people probably think, "so what," but when it happens 24/7, i could understand where it would probably get annoying after awhile. I have made efforts to cool it a little. But every time he is on the phone and i don't know who it is, i just cant help myself sometimes!! I just wanna know soooo bad!! Not because I don't trust him and i think he's talking to someone he shouldn't. I know better than that! I just want to know whats going on. Like I'm afraid to be out of the loop.
The last thing he said was that I'm smug when I'm right. He didn't say it just like that, we were talking about something and yet again (;-o) I was right, So i was smiling real big and he pointed at me and said "that right there!" I knew exactly what he was talking about because he cant stand it when i say "i told you so." even when it only comes out as a smug smile because i knew i was right. Again, i can see where this might get annoying.
I cant change overnight. But this lesson has made me see that i need to make more of an effort to change some of my less finer qualities.


Lesson 6:
Love is not irritable (ha!)

The Dare:
Choose today to react to though circumstances in your marriage in loving ways instead of with irritation. Begin by making a list below of areas where you need to add margin to your schedule. Then list any wrong motivations that you need to release from your life.

WOW! This one sounds pretty intense!!
