Testes Tuesday

L's party is tomorrow, it's 10:00 p.m. right now and I'm just starting to make the cake. I wanted to get it done before she went to bed because her room is next to the kitchen and I know the mixer will wake her up, so I asked MH to do the nightly routine. Of course L is having none of it. She wailed through her bath and when they're done MH informs me that he didn't wash her hair. Umm, birthday pics tomorrow? If ever there was a day to wash it, this is it! So I got in the shower with her with my clothes on and did her hair and now hubby is in the bedroom moping while I put her to bed. So much for cake.
That's my gripe, what's yours?

Re: Testes Tuesday
Dh is away at training in Minneapolis so I cant say much but..
Sunday morning his first flight was at 833am. He decided to set his alarm for 730am, pack and shower the same morning and then wondered how he almost missed his flight. He got to the airport at 821am.
Who the hell time this guy how to manage his time??
We're in the home stretch of DH's deployment-he'll be home in just a couple months now, which means I'm anticipating the difficult times ahead when we try to reconnect and get used to being around one another again, so maybe I'm just upset about nothing BUT...
R has a pretty set schedule, eats around the same time each day and naps around the same time each day. Because of the time change, DH can typically only get on Skype at one particular time each day (we're talking weekends here b/c I work M-F), which happens to fall during the start of R's typical nap time. I try to keep him awake so he can see his dad, but then he gets super cranky. Plus, he is in a really not fun stage right now (see babies vs. toddler post), so he is always throwing a temper tantrum when DH wants to Skype. I endured it on Saturday and was able to keep R in a relatively good mood for a 10 min Skype call. Sunday was a really bad day, though, R was just throwing a fit and was having nothing to do with it. I finally told DH that the call wasn't going to happen and that I'd have to hang up. He said," Why can't you just do what you have to do to put him in a good mood so I can see my son?!" I was livid! He left when R was 2 months old, and I have had to do everything on my own since then. I can't wave a magic wand and make him happy for a Skype call; this is life, deal with it! I hung up on him and neither of us have emailed each other since.
DH is going on a guy trip in a few weeks. I'm goin to be alone with the baby for a week. I have I be at work by 7:30. My commute is at least an hour without dropping off DS. That means for that week DH gets to sleep in, go gambling, hang out in New Orleans while I get up at 5, try to change the diaper of ninja baby alone, fight him into clothes, shove food at him to keep him from screaming, get dressed and out the door by 6:00. I've gone out once since DS was born and DH texted me the whole time about how bad DS was being. I'm so jealous of his trip it's not even funny.
I'm tired of SO making everything my fault or my problem. Boat trailer keys are lost......it's still apparently my fault. A spare cannot be made. I don't pull the trailer, why would I have the keys?! Why were the keys not put in the boat bag or key bucket when done.... Like they should have been? The dog is bored and needs to be played with....he tells me he doesn't have time and I need to do it. If the dog doesn't have water, he gets mad that I don't check it enough. We have a 30 by 50 foot garden and got a ton of veggies out of it. He had to go to Chicago for four days and said make sure the box of veggies didn't go to waste. He had picked enough veggies for a family of four for a week. While he was gone those four days, I did nothing but eat veggies for my meals and snacks. By the time he got back, there was only two cucumbers, a handful of jalape?os, and one zucchini left in the box.....and the first thing he said was "are you going to let these go to waste? You should have done something with these! They are going to go bad!" He has been complaining that the garbage in the kitchen needs to go out for four days now......except wont do it himself. I do 100% of the care for Gator, unless I ask him to do something. I don't feel I should have to ask. Last night he went in her room and played with her in there for the first time since she was born. I know whenever he says "we", he means me. Part of me wants to go ape shiit on him. The other part of me wants to just sit back because he is the one missing out.....not me. And he will be the one that has to deal with that regret.....not me.
For the past two weeks, Gator and I have been sick and stuck at home. I left one day for 30min to run to Kohl's to pick up their last in store copy of The Velveteen Rabbit and The Night Before Christmas. That 30min was awesome. If I bring up the fact that he gets to leave during the day, he gets all pissed and says going to work isn't fun. He doesn't understand that seeing adults is more fun than seeing the inside of a 900sqft house for the past two weeks. I have Gator 24/7, even when I go to visit friends. I went birthday shopping for Gator a few weeks ago with my mom and her friend without Gator. That was the first time in 6 weeks I didn't have Gator with me, and I was only gone 3-4 hours and Gator was with SO's mom.
I told him if it was an issue he should have handled the situation or at least told me there was someone specific that they wanted me to call.
He said he didn't know why I was upset about it and he didn't know I was going to call an a/c guy yesterday.
Really? I'm almost 26 weeks pregnant AND its 85 degrees outside. When did you think I was going to call??
