Disaster Averted

As I sit here with "egg on my face" and my heart racing, I thought I would share my stupidity. I will preface this with the fact that our oddessey in raising adult children continues. It has been a tough 48 hours. Will this saga never end? Anyway, I'm sleep deprived and frustrated. Not the time, to start another battle. Hub left town for the week this afternoon. He came by my office before he left to sign our taxes and have me sign a joint account check that had come in. We have had some large unexpected expenses so it's one of those times where "Valentines of the green kind" is a really good thing to be going to the bank. So tonight while I was cruising my computer, I decided to check the ol' checking account. No large check deposited. Did he put it in savings? NO! Not a good thing. Now I realize that Hub can become distracted at the drop of a hat. It is probably still in his shirt pocket where he put it. Still walking around with a large endorsed check is not a good thing. Hub had failed to tell me where he was staying tonight. He travels so much that sometimes the details escape us. We've talked a couple of times this afternoon, but I had forgot to ask him then. We generally stay in the same chains so that we can rack up points, so I pulled up the hotel websites to see where he had made reservations. Didn't find anything for tonight but another reservation jumped out at me. One at the Crowne Plaza on the 6th......HERE. He is not suppose to be back until the 8th. THAT S.O.B.! I'm sitting here hurt, mad and thinking of what a stinking time this is to pull something like this. It's going to be a long night. So what am I going to do now. My husband is in another state with a large signed check; has not left an itienary and has reservations at a nice hotel here for tomorrw when he is suppose to be in a different state. This can't be good! I thought about getting in the car and driving tonight where he is. That's 4 hours away and I'm too tired. Should I just show up at the Crowne Plaza tomorrow night and try to catch him? Do I want to catch him? I decided that I wasn't going to sleep and might as well tackle this tonight. I called his cell and immediately got voice mail. His phone is off. PERFECT! I pulled up the list of hotels in that city and called the one that I thought would be the most likely. The desk clerk on the phone took a while finding his reservation. Then he wanted to know who I was. I said Mrs. ______. He acted like "someone's going down tonight" and finally rang the room. Hub answered the phone half asleep and I told him that he needed to sit up and talk. First I said that I had decided to join him on this trip and was coming out tomorrow. "Fine" he says. JERK! Then I said, "Or maybe I'll just meet you at the hotel tomorrow night here in town". He says "Huh?" I told him that I knew about the reservations and who was he with and who would he be meeting. He wanted to know where I was getting all of this and told him from his hotel reservations. He tried to tell me that I didn't know what I was talking about and that they must be old. I pull the reservations up and start reading it to him. I said "It says it right here. Crowne Plaza - 1 night - March 6, 2011." He reminds me that we are in April not March and tells me to go to bed. I remembered that he had a meeting there last month. OOPS!!! He just told me to go to bed and hung up. So like I said, I have "egg on my face". I have already left him a voice mail, a text message and e-mail to apologize. I'm sure there will be more and at least this disaster was averted. Silly woman! Later.
