MWhine Monday...

Does that work?  haha!

 

I need to just get this out.  DH worked all four days that we were off.  We kind of knew it was coming, but yesterday was INSANE.  Thursday was 4 hours, Friday was 6 hours, Saturday another 6 hours, and then yesterday was the kicker.  He left for work at 7:45am and didn't get home until 1:15AM!  That's right....17 1/2 hours.  (Did I do that right?)  THEN he had to be back in this morning by 7am.  He's trying to be chipper but I can tell he is extremely stressed.  His company is doing this huge software upgrade, and decided back in August it would be a good idea to lay off more than half of his department.  So 6 people are doing the job of about 20.  And his boss knows nothing about the software, so everything question/issue is getting directed to DH.

This baby is coming a week from today, and I'm trying to get ready, but I'm exhausted.  L is a hurricane, and nothing seems clean enough!  haha!  DH put his foot down last week and said that after this upcoming Friday he is done.  For a week.  He will not be answering any work calls or opening his laptop.  He missed a lot of L's first few weeks of life because he had just started with this company.  He said there is no way that is going to happen again. 

ok vent over.  I feel better.

    That is crazy! I am glad he's being adament about taking time off with you, L, and the new LO. Take care of yourself - everything will work out in it's own way eventually, even if it means a little (or in my case A LOT) of dust here and there.

    Those hours are crazy! But at least he's putting his foot down about next week. I know it's much easier said than done, but try not to stress about cleaning because if you can't do it, you can't do it. I have a really hard time with that myself though.

    If it's any consolation .. I can relate.

    DH worked ALL weekend with the exception of 3:30-8:30pm on Thanksgiving, to come to dinner.  And an hour's trip to Target.  It really sucked.

    When I was preg with baby #2, he decided to go back to school for his MBA.  The night before my c-section, he was up til 2am working on his application materials.  6 weeks after the baby was born, he went back to school.. I am not exaggerating that he had maybe 1-2 hour a week to spend with us. It was truly a nightmare.

    Hope you're hanging in there.
