Pulling teeth
Today sucked.
I finally got an appointment to get this tooth seen to thats been bothering me for a while. Only appointment I could get was this afternoon. It was pouring rain and because Rod couldnt get off work early enough I had to get the bus. 2 buses infact. By the time I got to the dentist I was soaked. Then to top that off they were running an hour and a half behind. So I sat there wet and cold waiting. Then they told me the tooth needed to come out. Yeah OUCH.
Thankfully the one bright spot was that Rod managed to get off work and picked the kids up and eventually picked me up. The plan was he was meant to go back to work once he had picked me up but when he rang them after we got back home they told him not to worry as it wasnt worth him going back... by the time he got there he would have been almost knocking off. Excellent right?
Well not really. When we left the dentist we went to get some pain killers from the chemist (I wanted the stronger stuff not panadol lol Im a wimp) but the parking was awful so I said to rod not to worry I still had a couple at home and he could come back later when the doctors etc were closed and get it (the chemist is open later). No worries. We get home and he basically makes a couple of phone calls for work, makes a mess in the kitchen, drives to the take away and gets some chips and stuff for dinner, comes back, eats and goes to bed at 6pm. Didnt end up going back for my pain killers. Basically didnt do anything to help me out.
Now I am normally not a sook, if I am sick I just muddle through, if I am in pain I just deal with it. I know this was only a tooth getting pulled out. But it friggin hurt and its still sore and I have no pain killers left. When he said he didnt have to go back to work I thought cool I can be a bit of a sook and he can deal with the kids etc. For just one night. I know he works hard. I know he works two jobs. I know he has to get up really early.
My head is telling me not to be selfish, at least he came home and picked the kids and me up and got dinner. But I cant help feeling like crap because while Im sore and sorry for myself I still had to deal with the kids and tidy up etc and get the kids to bed etc. Would it have killed him to stay awake a little longer to help me out? After the whole rain thing, the waiting, the tooth pulling and allllllll that would it have killed him to tidy up a little to help me out?
Anyway.... now that I have all that off my chest. I need to get some sleep. Sorry todays entry has been more of a vent. Hopefully things will be better next time.
Night all! xxx
