Are we there yet?
I just barked at my mother-in-law. Everybody is motion - the in-laws are moving from Utah to Florida, and have already vacated their house. DH is in New York, and he'll be flying back to Utah to drive their car here, and then eventually to Florida. I'm the only person that's stationary, so I've been in the middle of a lot of things, mostly travel arrangements.
Plans had been made, and she started to tell me about a change in those plans. I made an invalid assumption and snapped at her. Then, when she very kindly explained things and asked if the new plan was OK, I replied, "It doesn't matter a bit to me. It's nothing to do with me."
She'll be calling in a few minutes for DH's flight information. I'm going to apologize. I feel bad for snapping at her and for jumping to conclusions.
Here's why I'm really angry, I think.
But of course, I'm not done. I have another week to go.

- I don't like being in the middle of things.
- I don't like being stuck here while DH gets to do cool stuff. (When he travels, he spends a week at NYU in Greenwich Village. When I travel, I spend a week in Arby's restaurants. Not.Fair.)
- My husband has been gone for a week, it'll be another week before he's back home, and I'm done. I'm just done.
But of course, I'm not done. I have another week to go.
