My DH is the biggest perfectionist as well. So bad, the passed that trait on to me! I was never like that until I met him. Now when I plan my lessons for teaching, I have my lessons planned for the next 3 months, photocopying done for the next 2 months...and I have my year basically planned (just not on a day by day basis yet...by the end of Dec. I will!).

If I wanted to have him home for certain days, I had to learn how to deal with the stress. It has been over 1 hour since I did it tonight...and I am still shaking! Luckily he was able to get on a computer in Montreal and we talked on AIM and I got to tell him I did good.

Last month, I swore to him I would never do it again. I was 1 second late and didn't get the trips he wanted. He was so mad, he didn't talk to me for a couple of hours. Then he got over it. I was so upset I wanted to cry! But I had no choice this month if I wanted him home for Thanksgiving, my birthday and my high school reunion (I am a dork and I really wanted to go....).

He told me on AIM I can do it again next month...I said "you wish".
