He was so upset when it looked like I wasn't going. (and I wasn't) I kinda got a bit angry. How many times had he promises to go to one of the kid's events and: never showed, came and left early, arrived drunk. He always had an excuse. He didn't like whatever the activity was. He didn't go to soccer because he only likes professional games. (your kids are playing) He didn't go to most music concerts because he didn't like the music... He didn't go to their graduations, except for middle school. And I remember calling and calling to make sure he made it. Our boy didn't attend his high school graduation because he didn't want Nabal there grinning and looking like a proud dad when he never acted the part. I'm pretty sure our girl will attend her graduation. She actually has friends that Nabal hasn't had the chance to poopoo. She's luck in a sense being a girl, she's inconsequential to him. Though he dislikes her friends when he sees them. It's usually not an outright dislike, but little digs and barbs. Jerk!

Monday
Why, oh why did I say yes? Nabal had asked earlier in the week if I would accompany him to a meal after his church service. He said it was a special dinner for couples. I said no...more than a few times. Finally he wore me down and I said yes just to get him to stop begging. I really thought he wouldn't remember. .. Well he did. In fact he not only remembered, but kept driving home that I had promised. I went late, but I did go. Haha! All those folks were looking at me like I was the poor heathen wife. Of course...never attending church with wonder brother Nabal. They don't even consider that I have a church. I'm very active in my church. Have been for more than 10 years. I went to both churches every Sunday for a majority of those years. He never wanted to come to my church, just wanted me to come to his church and teach the kids, which I gladly did until I realized that no one else would even help. Well, my mistake for making a promise to a person who uses them to his favor.
