Angry Working Mom

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...

Facebook, say what?

Holy Shit- I must get 10 of these a day..the facebook status update. Marley is taking a nap; Tommy is fussy today; Lauren has a cough; little Timmy is making mommy want to slit her wrists; I just wiped John Marc’s ass… ok, maybe I went a little too far, but you know what I'm getting at - you’ve been on the receiving end.

 

Some of these are from my friends who do have a life (I know that they do). We all started off in the same place and somehow drifted so far apart in our lives that I look back and think how the hell did you end up this person? For the record, I am not getting at the people who say "just got back from a fun day at the amusement park..Tyler had so much fun he puked on the tilt a whirl". This is an actual activity and I find that funny and truly enjoy the update. What I am getting at are the women who, instead of taking time to say something relevant about themselves, somehow have nothing else to say except "my kid is taking a nap."  I guess I would prefer to read "Johnny is taking a nap. I am currently cracking open a beer, putting on Oprah and trying to forget what drove me to the beer, because it’s about to start again in T Minus 1 hour," but hey, maybe I am a little too real..
