I should start this post by saying that I want John to succeed. I understand that mathematical proofs demand un-interrupted time and focus. That in order to finish his math credential he needs to complete proofs. I want that all to happen.
WARNING: From this point forward in today’s post this blog digresses into selfish whining that abandons logic and reasoning.
After only 3 days of the quarter I hate math proofs. There are not enough hours in the day for John to sleep, complete 3 hours of math work, attend classes and play video games with me. I think that I should fall higher on the food chain than at least sleep?
This afternoon John accused me of neglecting my gaming commitment? I answered student emails until midnight last night and got up all night with both kiddos. I am not saying I mind him sleeping; in all honesty I am usually the first to sleep through the kids crying. My point is that I am the one who offered to play with him in lieu of sleep and he refused. I think pointing the finger at me for slowing our play is absolutely unfair.
I hope that this weekend will provide a much needed infusion of time. As I write this I just spotted my still decorated Christmas tree in my periphery that I suppose refutes my “free time” argument. The goal of this project is to invigorate our marriage not give us another thing to bicker about. I am confident our 100-day project is not the problem: The problem is that math proofs are evil and are stealing my husband.
