Soccer practice, in my basement!

My husband has been a real pain in the ass lately. He's been really crabby and yelling about stupid things, having no patience for anyone, including me. Last night I asked him what his problem was and he denied having a problem. I continued to tell him how unbearable he has been lately, and surprise, surprise, he had no idea that he had been crabby at all. How could he not notice? I've been crabby back at him, and he noticed that!

At bedtime last night I was ignoring him, which didn't work out really well because he fell asleep all snuggled up to me. How dare he snuggle me when I am mad and ignoring him? So I gave it to him this morning. Again, he had no idea I was even mad. When he called this morning, I had to remind him that I was mad! He asked what I was doing and I told him I was working on my anger management program. I was taking shots in the basement in my (finished) soccer pitch. He then told me to work on this and that, and I had to stop him and tell him that I was too mad to listen to his advice. The he laughed! What a jerk! He did promise that he would be really happy and sweet when he gets home tonight, but I have to be nice too. I may need to take a few more shots on net before I am ready to be nice!

The great thing about the soccer pitch in the basement is that really is my anger management. My daughter got leveled in her last game on Saturday and she was mad! I told her to harness her anger and use it to her advantage in the game. She doesn't get that concept yet. But all my anger, which honestly wasn't all that much, went into my shots this morning. It feels really good to just nail a ball and hear the sound it makes. It feels good to have a sore leg after, knowing that I put all my anger and frustration into those shots instead of being grumpy.

Again, I wish I had known about this when I was a teenager!

I feel much better now, I am all sweaty and my leg muscle (we call it my soccer muscle and it is a thing of beauty) is sore, and I get to go shower and have a lovely day. I am going to get my toes done, which they so badly need to be taken care of right now, and be happy the rest of the day.

I wish you a happy Monday and I hope you all have an anger management program that works for you....if you need it anyway!
