It is about my REACTION to the spindle!

I must admit I am stressed about not having found a job yet and somehow last week I was too busy to do any additional job hunting but I couldn't tell you if my life depended on it what I was too busy with...

I was also very stressed yesterday already because I couldn't find DD after church service--she'd wandered outside and was playing in the cold rain, by herself, with no coat on. I looked for her everywhere including outside for almost five minutes and couldn't find her. I was well and truly starting to panic when someone else found her and sent her in.

Add to that that I'm coming down with a sore throat and started feeling the ickies yesterday.

So there's the context for me already being a bit emotionally on the edge when this happened. After I calmed down last night I told DH how much this upset me and that I felt like it was a mark of thoughtlessness or carelessness for my things that he mauled it so completely.

There are things underneath my reaction that are hard for me to look at, but I think in the end it comes down to a breakdown in communication between DH and me on many levels that has been the only real problem that our relationship has ever had and it crops up from time to time.

DH still has no good explaination of why he cut the dog ear so badly but he has offered to try to fix it (thanks for the offer, JJ). I'm going to be very v e r y v e r y specific about what I want it to look like when he's done.
