I hate DH's job. (vent)

Dh has been out of town for the last 4 weeks. He comes home friday saturday and sunday. I'm used to him being gone and it doesn't bother me. Well, we live in the middle of nowhere on a mountain where the city water doesn't even run. We have a wood stove, which is my only means of heat. There is a "Winter storm warning" where we live for late tonight through late tomorrow afternoon. I had planned on DH being home tonight so that if it was bad in the morning he could shovel me out because I have to get to work. Well he just called to let me know that he would not be home tonight. Meaning either I don't go to work in the morning or my big pregnant a$$ shovels itself out.

It may not seem like too big of a deal but I'm just worn down. I'm exhausted anyway and I've been having to get up earlier than normal for the last 4 weeks so as to get a fire built and make sure my car can get out. Why couldn't he be gone when its warm and this stuff isn't an issue.

Normally I don't care but I was expecting him home and hes not coming for another night. My hormones have me in tears!!!

Thanks for reading if you made it through my boo hoo ramble :(

    I'm sorry DH will be home later than planned.  Shoveling and building fires is hard work for a pregnant lady!! Try to take it easy in between these tasks until DH can rescue you ;)

    I know how you feel .. sometimes it really sucks! My DH works in Northeast PA 4 days a week (we live 3 hours north in Buffalo NY) so I also only see him on the weekends. He loves it and makes fantastic money so that's why he keeps doing it but it is hard sometimes, like with snow (thank god we haven't had any) and when the garbage is really heavy or for ... you know "guy" stuff...not that I'm helpless or anything but it's nice to have a "man around the house" to do some of the dirty work.

    Awh, hang in there! I'm sure it's difficult! I couldn't imagine having to do all that but I'm a "city" girl. I wouldn't even know how to start a fire unless it is in one of those hardware store metal fire pits LOL. As far as shoveling, I haven't done that since H.S because I moved out at 18 & rented & my landlords always took care of that & DH actually plows his family's businesses so he just does a quick swipe down our drive and I never have to worry about it. I couldn't imagine being home alone for so long! ::hugs:;

    I know how you feel.  My husband is overseas and I'm on restricted activity, so shoveling myself out isn't an option.  I'll cross that bridge (and probably cry) when I get there.

    Twin boys due 7/25/12

    My vote is that you stay home, relax, and pamper yourself.  Sounds like you're emotionally and physically exhausted, and you need a day off anyway.

    Sorry you have to deal with this!  I can only imagine how hard that is!
