Silence

Apparently communication is no longer possible in this day and age. With all this technology and instant contact, I STILL can't get anyone to tell me what the hell is going on.


How hard is it to pick up the phone, send a text, send an email, or stop over and SPEAK WORDS? I am so much more understanding if people tell me what's going on, even if they don't know. Even a minor detail to someone may make another person feel less irritated.


I hate details being given through a grapevine because what might not be important to one person IS important to another. I want to go directly to the source but don't always have the time. But I guess from here on out, I'll have to add ONE more item to my never ending list of things that HAVE to be done.


I am going to perform an experiment on my husband. In fact, it's not going to be an experiment but a "tit for tat" experience. I am simply going to go along on my very busy day planning and scheduling everything that needs to be done and "conveniently" avoid providing these details to said husband. It'll be more of a "need to know" sort of experiment. I'm sure he won't appreciate the lack of information but ....tit for tat.


My house is in a current state of upheaval with a bathroom and dining room remodel. The plumber won't call my husband and my husband won't call the plumber. The contractor is getting anxious to start work (and I'm tired of not having a gapping hole in the bathroom). So absolutely no communication one direction or another. I had to interview for a job at the paying job. Not because I wanted to but to show that I have initiative and not be pigeon holed. Lots of drama there and no one knows what's going on because everything is under wraps. So even more silence. Then throw in daycare and them not telling us until the last minute about supplies and field trips.


I'm tired of living in silence.
