I'm hiding on my staircase....

in October 2011 Moms
Trying to get a few minutes of peace. I sweartogod, I'm ON all the frucking time. Pencil skirts and stilettos and ass kissing clients for my job and annoying coworkers and DH breathing down my neck about every.fvucking.thing. I have no family around to just give me a breather sometimes. DH is in his whole "my career comes first" thing again, so I'm having to make sacrifices at my job for his sake and my house is a mess and I don't have a spa tub now that we moved and I'm just SO tired, you know???? You know? Even now, he keeps trying to guilt me into coming downstairs to take care of DD. it's not that he doesn't want to watch her. He just hates when I try to rest. I kinda feel like crying, but I don't even think I have the energy for it. This is a jumbled mess of rambling, I know. I just needed to vent. I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakdown. Moms deserve to rest, too, dammit.

Pear: I got your gift! It's beautiful. Thank you so much! I'll AW the hell out of it as soon as I can find my laptop in this bowl of crazy that I'm swimmin' in.

    I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed!  It sounds like a helluva lot is going on and has all piled on at the same time.

    Now seems like the right time to tell your DH that A) you shouldn't be the one making all the sacrifices; his career is NOT more important than yours or your family and B) you need a break.  One evening in the next week should be yours to get out of the house and do whatever you want with.  He can take care of DD for the night.  You need it and you deserve it.

    Thanks. I do need some time. I just really want a bath and a glass of wine and a full night's sleep where I go to bed at like 8 and sleep in the guest room on the new mattress and don't have to share the bed with DH & the dog. As far as the job thing ... he does this every few months or so. It makes me crazy. He does make a lot more money than me, but I carry the insurance, and I definitely don't need the attitude when I ask him to pick up DD from daycare so I can stay a little later to catch up. I only ask like once a week. I know he's in a new position, but damn if I'm not overwhelmed with everything.

    I'm sorry your having a bad day! On Mondays the Mexican resturant by you has 99 cent margaritas, you should go sometime. Hopefully you will get your wine and bath.

    I'm sorry that you're so stressed out! I understand how you feel, MH gets like that every once in awhile, resting to him is a foreign concept for anyone else but himself.  Like PP I recommend a night out for yourself and let him take care of DD.  He'll be okay! Hope things get better for you soon!
