Out of respect for TomB I'll leave it at that. He makes his customers happy, I just happen to be somebody who won't be a customer I guess. -Magnus

thanks for all the hugs girls and the suggestion Magnus! 
I decided to get all dolled up and make him wish he decided to come! And in the meantime have a great time with my kiddos! We all love Harry potter, so I am not gonna let it ruin our night!

The worst part is that most men, and I'm sure I've been guilty of this, will still assume the dolling up part is for them for when you get home.
We're dense like that. -Magnus

Now my wife has what the baby has.
Might as well get sick and be over with it. Whenever it happens that way at my house if i try not to catch it I always end up being sick after they start getting well . Misery loves company
Well, I could dye my hair again... but I warn you, my geek streak runs more toward Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings than Dr. Who.
Geek is geek, direction is irrelevant.

A nice day. Overcast and cool. Kids are sleeping. My dog chores are done. I've got my espresso and vape. Ran out of milk, had to use cream(yum, but FAT). Kids are sleeping next to dad. I love to see them sleeping. So quiet and cuddly. Kids and puppies give the best kisses.
I got 2 packages yesterday, and have a lot more coming. I LOVE packages

Morning all.
Note to self: Must remember I am no longer an active Marine Corps NCO and my family are not my subordinates.
Woke up in a cranky mood this morning, smoke detector battery was giving fits and in turn was making the house security system go nuts. Fiddled with it, replaced batteries, still had an issue. SWMBO, laying in bed, quizzically looks at me as if trying to figure out what I'm doing when she knows full well after watching me struggle with the the sensor and the keypad for 10 minutes. My expectation? Take charge, carry out the plan of the day, show initiative, problem solve, something.... I ask her to call the security company for assistance, I'm somewhat nice at this point, just a little short on patience. She does, they respond that the sensor is faulty and she thanks them and hangs up. So what do I do? Instead of guiding her (because I expect her to not need guidance at this point), I snap.
"The sensor isn't bad, I just replaced the batteries, call them back", I say.
She said, "You talk to them."
I said, "I'm looking for the manual on the internet and trying to fix the keypad/system. If I call them, we lose one avenue of trying to solve the problem. You're capable, do it." --Mostly because she cracks under pressure a lot and lacks the ability to be self-sufficient, I'm trying to instill in her the confidence that she isn't helpless. God knows, I'm not going to be around 100% of the time or forever, she needs to be able to fend for herself.
"But you are the one that has the question, I asked and you weren't satisifed with the answer", she says.
This is where I really lost it and the leader of hard-charging DevilDogs really came out. (picture Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men or Ermey in Full Metal Jacket)
"I tasked you with a mission, accomplish it. WE need to fix this, I asked for your assistance and gave you objectives to complete. Just do it, I don't care how, just get it done", I snarled.
Most of the time I'm pretty good at separating my family (or my work) from my past military life, but sometimes I just expect stuff to get done. I don't want excuses, I don't want reasons why it can't be done. I just want it done, period. I don't want, nor expect, a member of my unit (family) or team to offer excuses, especially when I know they are capable.
I'm half-tempted to apologize for snapping, but on the other hand, I'm of the opinion that what I did was right. Grrrr.... what a great way to start a Friday.
