I'm too busy to talk now

Just a follow up to my earlier post. I call the husband to ask where the checkbook is. Lauren's school book order is due tomorrow. He promised her she could order this month. Since he's been "unavailable" at home, I placed the book order in his section of the desk, where he places all the bills. In the few moments he was home and napping last weekend, he didn't have a chance to look through it & didn't see the book order. Well, guess what? He has the checkbook with him. I have asked on MORE than one occasion, to please leave the checkbook at home for these kind of issues. So, as I ask him for the checkbook & to discuss it, he says "can't we discuss this later. I'm downstairs in the hotel having a glass of wine".
