I do not schedule these things!

So obviously, my volunteering at the fire station is a problem for my husband. I have been a member of this fire company since I was 13. Yes, it does take up some of my time. Not a lot, not even 50% of my time is spent at the hall.

However, once a month when meeting night comes around, my husband gets a little grouchy because I'm not home for a couple of hours in the evening. Deal with it! Last night was our monthly meeting and horror of all horrors, there is a class at the station tonight that I really should attend. Its not mandatory or anything but it will give me a couple of more continuing education credits towards my EMT certification. And its only 2 minutes from home as opposed to having to travel a half an hour or more to go to a class, so it really wouldn't look good if I didn't go.

Anyway, I mentioned something about it again today to Brian so I was sure he remembered and he says "I'd rather you didn't go, you were gone all evening last night"

Excuse the fuck out of me?

He has things he wants to do tonight. Therefore, I guess, as always my life is supposed to be over as soon as I leave work. Seriously, I do nothing after work. I cannot do anything outside which is probably why it usually looks like white trash live at my house. I can just hear people saying "take Caleb outside with you". I'm pretty sure these are the people that have no children because if they did, they would understand that you cannot accomplish anything while trying to keep a one year old from wandering into the road, eating grass, eating stones, eating bugs, pulling leaves off the rose bush, getting pricked by the rose bush.

So, too bad for my husband, but I am going to this class, and he'll have to get over it. I'm sorry I will be gone for two evenings but seriously I did not ask them to do this the night after the meeting.
