She told me this morning she had to “clear something with me”

She was mad that I didn’t call the kids at all this week while travelling.

She was mad that when I got home Friday evening I was on a call with Braden for 20 minutes after getting home while Nova wanted my attention. I should have been off work when I got home.

She was mad that I announced that I would have to work seven days a week for the next two weeks leading up to our stores grand opening.

She was mad that I had to take aeeting on Saturday at 11 when I had said I was going to take Henrik to baseball.

She was mad that my meeting pushed to 12 and then I didn’t show up until 1:30 when the game was almost over.

I think that’s about it. I’ll give it to her – this time she didn’t come out sideways at me. She was methodical and calm in expressing her anger.

I said, I’m sorry that you are upset. You’re right, I could have prioritized this all better. You’re right.

I didnt want to argue. I didn’t want to get defensive and spiral into a fight. I’m done fighting.

Even though I worked 16 hour days this week and slept probably 4 hours a night Monday to Friday.

Even though we are in the final three weeks of a project three years in the making, that my entire job performance is riding on, that is the biggest capital spend Earls has ever spent at 16 million.

Even though jet lag and finding time to eat this week was a challenge.

Even though I made it up to Henrik and hung out with all morning today.
