Ghoulies are workin' out in August! (Page 15)

X2!!   Gotta jet now.  See ya later.

I need a few gouhlie opinions. My hubby is in Denver for work. He and his employee had decided to go for a mountain bike ride after work yesterday.  They rode until they were on a mountain he thinks is called table top mountain. They got ot the top, but it got dark befroe they could get back down. They were not prepared for that at all, I'm sure. I talked to him last night at 9 pm. He was walking his mountain bike down a trail he'd never been on, in the complete dark. His exact words were "it's a little sketchy". He said he would call when they got down, no matter what time, so I would know they were ok, and not to worry or send out search and rescue. So 2 hours later, I start getting a little more concerned, and I call him. No answer. text him. No response. Wait another 20 minutes. No answer still. By this time I have a raging headache that is threatening to act like a migraine. I finally heard from him around midnight. He was back, just didn't call, and didn't have his phone by him. If I hadn't been in bed with a hot pack wrapped around my head and feeling nauseous, I would have given him he11 for it. I'm still pretty upset today. Mostly angry. I am supposed to be packing up today for a family reunion with his side of the family. We leave tomorrow as soon as he gets back from Denver and The Boy is out of school for the day. I am on strike. He can pack the trailer and get the groceries and get the kids pulled together. At this point I don't even want to go. If he can't call me to let me know he's alive, why would I want to spend the weekend camping with him and his parents? Am I over-reacting? I'm not sure because I still have this nagging headache and I can't really think straight.  

I don't know about being on strike but I would be pissed, too. One of the only times I got really really mad at Jim was under similar circumstances. I have a huge imagination and have an advanced degree in worry. It is basic consideration to let the one you know is worried know you are okay. I hope your head stops hurting.

I agree with other Ghoulies, that you have every right to be mad.  Now as to going on strike, I hate to disagree with another ghoulie, but I would not do that.  Everyone will suffer in the end, mostly the kids at that point.  You do need to have a sit down with him - away from the kids - and let him know how his not calling affected you.  My hubby did that once in the beginning of our relationship and has never done that to me again. 

Another great thing to go on Ann's list of good things that are happening to her today. 

She is right.

You should come here and let me take a look.
