In Which I File Divorce Papers

I have an overwhelming urge to kick my husband in the head.

John was out of town last Thursday. So, I had to care for both babies all day, then try to orchestrate bedtime with a minimal amount of crying. I managed to get everything done, but it was hard. Izzy is still so little and needy. He wants to be held a lot. And its fairly hard to bath a 20 month old, while holding a 3 month old. But we survived.

Today, John announced that he will be out of town Wednesday and Thursday of this week. I was pissed. I don't fucking understand why he happily agrees to go out of town for his fucking job. Doesn't he understand that I need help?

When I got pissed, he said, "Thanks for the support." What a prick. Where the fuck is my support? AHHHH! At this point, I am so angry with him that I am almost glad he is going to be gone for two days. I don't even want to look at his ugly face.

I almost hate to say it, but....
It does get easier. I've developed a routine with the kids & no matter if he's home or not, we stick to it. Now, the nights that Joe is home, there is a bit more "fun" to be had, but the schedule is there & kids *do* need structure.

Is that why you told me to stay in the closet and leave my potential flu far away from everyone else? OR was that you? Anyway, be pissed! I would.

Hey, we can put our hubbys side by side and kick them at the same time!
During my first trimester I was SO exhausted and therefore slept a LOT. He would say, "Why do you sleep all the time? Can you at least do some laundry??" ^%$%$#$%(&*(

And I just saw your blog. You're hilarious. :)

Oh my god you make me laugh! I am so sorry... in a way I know exactly how you feel. Greg just started his 3 months of night rotation. So I'm pretty much a single mommy til the end of May. It totally sucks.

That sucks big time. I have no idea how I will care for one when my husband has to go away. Not cool.
