Things change fast

[Maria 60]

This week I got stuck working outside and it was sweltering hot. Yesterday I got off work went to cut my hair, in which I will write about what happened there later. I got home and took a cold shower and made myself a double ice Aperal Sprites, put on a beautiful summer dress and because both niebours were away I laid in the lawn chair in the yard. It was hot but I enjoyed the little breeze up my dress and just enjoying the outside air feeling being dressed. I was enjoying it after a long hot weeks work. Well that ended pretty fast because my wife came home and asked me if I could go pick up her mom and take her to a store. I asked the simple question of why this couldn't wait till tomorrow and why now in Friday night traffic. Well I guess something happened with her family and I could tell she was a little upset but she decided to play a different card. She said that I didn't want to go because I'm dressed and the niebours are away and that's one thing she hates when Maria take priority over everything, she slams the sliding door and I started picking up my class and other things to go in and get changed but by the time I came in she had already left. When she got home later she told me again that there are times when she wants to do things but I will not do them because my dress time is more important. Well in the Italian culture there is a saying "sometimes you have to be the sheep and not the wolf". So that's what I did, I explained my hot week situation and just wanted to end the week with a drink and not go into rush hour traffic and then as she kept going on I decided to play the sheep and I shut up. It's moments like this when I believe the truth comes out and I feel it's not excepting I get, its more of her being kind. She was upset with her family and Maria was the easier target. Either way dressed or not dressed I would have asked the same question but that's why I alway said in our situation never get comfortable because things change fast.
