• Brittney who?

  I must say, as much as I like Rodeo, I’m so glad it’s over. For me, it usually means more work. More public appearances with big bossman, acting right, etc. For Cowboy, it means more guy time, drinking (which he’s not really a big drinker to begin with), late nights, etc. The regular routine is disrupted and I’m left wondering what time he’ll be home so I can go to sleep. Above all else, I trust my husband. I wouldn’t marry someone I didn’t trust.

  Friday night, we had a lovely dinner with one of my gfs, then he went home and I went for a drink with the gf. I was home early. Saturday morning he had plans to work and I had plans to sleep in or go with him to help. I heard his phone beeping way too much for a Saturday morning. When he went into the restroom, I checked it (something I never do) and I found a couple text messages I wasn’t prepared for. The one that sticks out in my mind was “Hey baby its Jeff.” I took a deep breath and asked him who this girl was. I don’t know if any answer would’ve justified him not only having some random girl’s number, but using it and texting the word baby to some girl who isn’t his wife.

  Now, I must remind all of you, before I was married there were times that my bf probably would’ve wished all he had to worry about was a text message on my phone. Which of course is why I can go to the dark scary place in no time flat. I forget that my husband isn’t me. I keep thinking how recently on some random show they discussed the bell curve when it comes to men. There are some absolute whores, some saints and some semi-sinners. Before this incident, Jeff was in the Saints category. When I asked him about the girl, he wasn’t as quick to apologize as I needed him to be. While I can appreciate a little bit of machismo or I am the man from him, this was out of line. I can own when I’m crazy and this wasn’t one of those times. You have some explaining to do, Mr.

  He tried to say that the text message was from a time when we were fighting, but it wasn’t. It was from last Tuesday. Lucky for him, there were no responses from this girl. She’s allegedly married, lives in Dallas and all they did was dance. She could live in Alaska, and that wouldn’t be far enough away. Saturday was a long day, but we did finally get it all resolved. I let him know that this was not ok in my book. He deleted her number pretty soon after I asked him about her. Believe me, the crazy woman inside me wanted to call her, but I remembered something wise I once told a married friend. There are women out there that don’t care if you’re married. Bad girls club anyone?

  Saturday was also a day I visited my MIL. We had a lovely chat about all this. I’m more thankful for her than ever if you can believe it. Jeff’s Dad was in attendance and he tried to explain who that random chick was. He said something like she was selling the horse, but when I entertained the idea and asked what her name was, he drew a blank. Not helping, right? LOL! So then I told him I was going to give him some names and see if it was her. I gave him about ten names before I snuck the right one in, but it wasn’t her. He tried. My BIL said he’s not doing anything, he’d be too tired. LOL. My BIL is so precious.

  Yesterday, we went to church. I quietly sang in the choir with Jeff. I can’t sing to save my life. After church, we visited my family. Then we bought some paint. If Jen/Alex are coming over before our cruise, I want the place to look like we live there, lol. Covering up my niece/nephews wall art was such an awesome feeling. We visited his family again. I had to sit next to his cousin, barf. I’m still at odds with something his cousin wrote to Jeff while in prison recently. We painted half of the living room last night and I must say, I am loving the color. It’s so serene/relaxing. I’ll take pics when its all done.
