It pays off

All of my days and nights, weeks, months and years of battling with the Law, David, stress, people who don't understand, etc has it's perks believe it or not!

It's finally come to a point where I can look at people (David comes to mind ;-) and say "I've done it, so can you."

This morning, David and I were talking about our new schedule, and he was getting kind of crabby. I looked at him and said "You don't put up with my crankiness, I will not put up with yours. We're both tired, but your being rude and unsupportive. Knock it off."

Now, I don't really want to be like that on a normal basis. But once in a while, it sure feels good to actually have some ground to say it!
