Ugh--DH went to work at 4 and won't be back until Saturday morning at 5 or so

He called and said they need him to be there for first shift tomorrow. It's about a 45 minute drive, so there's no point in him driving home for an hour to sleep. He'll get to sleep for about 2.5 hours in his truck. He came home from work last night to take care of Maile for me when I was having about the worst night of my life, and didn't get much rest. I feel bad for him, but at least the paycheck will be awesome.

That stinks.  The paycheck will be good though.  My dh is working 7-4 at one job and 4:15 until 11 at his other job, every night this week.  The pay will help but it's getting old fast.

Oh that sucks, hopefully he'll be ok on the little sleep.  Why the bad night for you last night?

Nothing really. Just a bad freakout to basically nothing. We were at my mom's house, Ethan threw one fit after another, we left, we came home, he kept refusing to let me brush his teeth, I fought them to get them in bed, I get Maile to sleep, start doing some laundry, and she woke up, refused to go back to sleep, and I freaked out.

It was bad enough that I had to call my mom to come over until DH could get home from work. Looking back, no single thing was bad enough to freak out, but I'm just stressed from being alone all the time. And to make matters worse, the pack n play we were borrowing had just been returned to my friend, and I realized I didn't have a safe place to put her until my mom got here.

Oh man, that is rough.  I'm sorry you had a craptastic night - sometimes it just builds and builds until you want to pop.  Good for you for calling your mom though...hopefully the little break helped a bit.  ((hugs))
