Nothing funny about it!

Nothing funny about it..

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Usually I write on a funny happening with me, the kids or the husband. Typically there is endless material, and I choose something crazy to write about.

Lately there is no funny. I have been in a foul mood. My husband is going back to working 60+ hours including nights and every single Saturday of our lives. The hours suck! S-U-C-K. He has done this for 6 years in the past, so I know what I am in for..exactly what I am in for. We have tried not to do this for the past 18 months and now we just have to.

I just don't know how this is going to work or how my sanity will survive this. I work A LOT and often travel overnight.  Pretty much goes like this: I will now be the sole caregiver for the kids after working a hellish day myself. I will be irritable and angry all of the time, and overall life will suck. He will miss every single soccer game, gymnastics event or whatever for the rest of our lives.

To sum it up, I did this with 1 child. It wasn't ideal, but I made it work. With 2, I just don't know how I will do it. I mean dragging my 1 YO to everything for my 6 YO (which is now late at night when the baby will be asleep).  Really?

I'm going to need a day or two to mourn my sanity...

I am so sorry, that sucks. I think there's nothing more draining than dragging a one year old around.

Jerseygirl- thanks for that & you are right! Suc-kee! I'm already irritated and ticked off and it just started a week ago..well I guess I used up all of my complaining for the year on one post ;)

Hi. Sucks. Single-momming it is no fun. Especially when you're married and there's a daddy out there somewhere who should be helping, not in a breadwinner way but in a nuts and bolts help-me-the-fuck-out-with-these-kids way. On anger: wine? a glass a day keeps my meanies at bay (sorta). And, um, can you snag a neighborhood babysitter to help you out? Yes, yes it costs money, but I'd argue sanity is WAAAAYYYY more important. As is being nice to your kids (this coming from the women who screamed at her kids this morning for no apparent reason...) Just some thoughts.

(Why is your comment form such a pain in the ass?)
