The One Where I Had To Say "I'm Sorry"

Ugh! Please tell me I am not the only one who hates to admit when I am wrong. ESPECIALLY to my husband, NOT Edward Cullen. I (sometimes) have that "I am right and you are wrong" mentality, can't help it,it is in my genes. So here is the story. NOT Edward Cullen got off work early on Wednesday night. He was home at 11pm,I of course took advantage of him being home early and went to sleep, while he stayed up to play the dumb x-box with his brother online. Now....keep in mind I have to get up at 6am (kids, school) and he was officially off for three days. Around 2 am, my 2 yr old comes in my room and for some strange reason, starts to play?!?!?! So,I did what I had to do trying to settle her down, while NOT Edward Cullen was playing the dumb x-box. I probably lost a good 45 min of good sleep because of her. Anyhow.....6 am comes around and I am dead to the world. NOT Edward Cullen is asleep on the sofa. I hate the mornings-sooooo NOT a morning person. I am the biggest beeeyotch in the mornings, always have been and probably always will be. Everyone knows this about me,including the kids and NOT Edward Cullen. My kids are dragging this particular morning. The 8 yr old is on the floor laying down while putting his pants on. We are now officially late-which means no Starbucks run for me. Crap! Finally, my lack of sleep got the best of me. "IF YOU GUYS DON'T GET IT TOGETHER ASAP YOU WILL BE STAYING HOME TODAY,I AM SO SICK OF DOING THIS EVERY SINGLE MORNING" (my kids are weird and actually like going to school, so keeping them home is a huge punishment)well, apparently I woke up NOT Edward Cullen with my yelling (at this point I really did not care, after all he has the whole day to relax!) He starts yelling "Why ARE YOU YELLING, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP ANYTHING". Soooooo not in the mood to hear his words of wisdom right now, so I told him "Can you just shut up please". Now, keep in mind I did say please. That has to count for something? He got quiet and I knew he was mad. Double crap!! The kids and I leave, I proceed on with my day. I just knew that I was going to have to tell him I was sorry for telling him to shut up, and I was regretting it. In my head,I did not really do/say anything THAT bad. I mean I did say "please" and he did not help me with the two yr old last night, he does know how I am in the morning, could I get away with not telling him I was sorry? My inner voice told me I had to say I am sorry. UGH!! The first thing I did when I came home was tell him "I am sorry for yelling at you this morning,it was wrong,I was tired, you know how I am in the mornings". Okay, the hard part was over with, maybe that wasn't so bad. NOT Edward Cullen looked at me, wide eyed "Wow, you actually apologized, I know how much you hate doing that" (told ya,I hate saying I am sorry) Then he felt the need to throw in there "I think I handled that pretty good, I could have went off on you but I sat and kept my mouth shut" *Sigh" so this is how it is going to go huh. "You're right, you did very good, I know you could have went off, but you are such a nice and understanding husband, I am so lucky you understand me" blah blah blah. Just between you and I though,he was still wrong! I never would have told him to shut up if I had proper sleep, and I would have had proper sleep if he had helped me with our two yr old. I suppose this is just one of those battles where I have to let him "think" he won, but in the end, we all know who really did win.....right?
