Fighting Water

If there's one thing I have learned over the years it is CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES WISELY!! In almost every relationship I have had, I have picked a stupid fight. I'm talking stuuuupid! I have actually regretted starting a fight immediately after speaking. That was long, long ago. My husband would never tolerate that behavior. I don't even know if I have ever won or lost an argument with my husband because I usually back off. I know... I know... what a weak ass woman right? Wrong!! It is more important to me that we live in harmony and talk things out when we are feeling the need to than for me or him to raise our voices just for the sake of winning. Does it feel good to back down. NO! As a matter of fact most of the time it burns my ass to do so, but, I have a secret weapon. Fighting water. Yes, I fight the water. I have an imaginary argument and get my point across with water. Shower or washing dishes usually, but an occasional pre-drought watering of the lawn and garden has also relieved some tension. Lately, there has been many a pot and pan that has felt my wrath! I just have the conversation in my head while scrubbing the shit out of some plates and what not, and voila!! Everything is all peachy. Try it! Have that imaginary conversation in the shower, the one where you cuss your boss out. I guarantee you'll feel better after and it will improve your relationships.
