Well, I have friends in town yesterday and guess what? They want me to take them PANNING ON THE RIVER and they do not want to go ride bikes at the beach as my husband suggested. He spoke up and said "I'm not going, it's not my thing, it's her's..." Boy did he get strange looks from them (as well he should have). Of course right away when we were alone he says "why did you suggest that!" And I said, "I didn't, it's what THEY wanted to do and they are our guests!" And at that point I had had enough if this, I'm not going to the river crap! So I proceeded to tell him that he was acting like a 2 year old selfish brat and very "Veruca Salt'ish" and was it unacceptable behavior because it's not always about HIM and he needed to stop trying to control everything, learn to go with the flow and to stop pushing onto others what he wants to do all the time and to stop shutting down everyone else's ideas or he's gonna wind up a lonely old man! Our friends kept talking about how excited they were to go and wanted me to pan some of my cons for them, etc. Well, I guess he sort of got over his bruised ego as we were headed to dinner and said, "yea I'm gonna go, my wife says I need to learn to go with the flow but I'm still bringing my mountain bike." And we all had a great evening.
WE ARE HEADED TO THE RIVER SOON, I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO JUMP IN THAT WATER, GEAR AND ALL!
