Ok I have a serious FFFC. You can judge me or whatever but I have to tip toe around the subject everyday and I don't wanna do it here too. I disappeared from the boards for awhile because when I was 8 months pregnant my husband was wrongfully convicted in a Court Martial, which is a military trial. It has been one of the most difficult and trying times in my life and sometimes I feel like I'm barely holding it together as a mom. So when I see you guys complaining about your DH's, but believe me I know they can be irritating, all I can think is be greatful that you have him around. I'd take all my husbands annoying habits if I could have him home with me and B tomorrow.
I didn't post this for pity or sympathy, it's just nice to get it off my chest.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm a single mom so I know how difficult it is but I can't imagine the stress and heartache the court martial has caused. It's great that you have family to help you. My family is 3 hours away and moving closer to them is constantly on my mind. Just know that it's ok if you can't hold it together all the time. I certainly don't have it together every day. I get annoyed by the DH vents. I cried one day reading a Mother's Day post. I look at my DS and he brightens my day. His smile keeps me going.
Thank you : it threw me for a loop suddenly having to be a single mom for all intents an purposes and Father's Day is going to be hard since my husband has only seen pics of B. we're still waiting on approval for me to bring him for visitation but I take it one day at a time. I was raised by a single mother so I know they're the strongest, most hardworking women I know. And his smile brightens my day too!
I am having friends over for dinner tonight. I've had maybe two drinks in the past year and a half so I decided to make JellO shots to pretend I'm back in college. Needless to say DH has baby duty tonight. This being a mommy thing 24/7 is really hard work, and I can't wait to start my new nursing job next week. I feel like having a few cocktails makes me a bad mom, but I need a little bit of fun and socialization to keep my sanity!
I use to think think sahms had the life, now I have soo much respect for them! No one is sitting at home all day having tea parties lol. I have really found there are not nearly enough hours in the day!
You're not a bad mom. I went to see Great Gatsby by myself last and enjoyed a margarita. We have a theater that you can eat and drink in. It was awesome.
JEALOUS!!! That sounds amazing. How is Gatsby btw? Hoping to get a sitter so we can go.
It was good! I think it's one of those movies you have to experience in a theater to appreciate. But it renewed my crush for Leo DiCaprio!
I threw out a full bottle of Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea body wash this morning. nbsp;I don't normally use anything from that store because I can't stand even walking past the store because of the fumes, but this was a Christmas present, I think. nbsp;Anyway, I used it yesterday, and I felt like I smelled like a candy store all day long. nbsp;It drove me nuts, so in the trash it went this morning. nbsp;Seriously, who wants to smell like starbursts all day?! nbsp;I'm going to stick to my Dr. Bronner's Castille Soap from here on out.
This is me! I use Dr B's, but my husband loves Bath and Body Works. That stuff be gross.

Wow, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine.
How long will he be gone for?
