it never fails that as soon as my DH is gone and incommunicado Murphy's Law kicks in and i just want to run and lock myself in the bathroom. The chaos ranges from the norm of the children not listening and destroying the house faster than i can clean it, or my 2 yo DS dumping the pancake mix on the floor of the kitchen and going swimming in it yelling "i clean Mom i clean" when i make the mistake of thinking it was safe to go to the bathroom, to the extreme of the TV my DH put in the boy's room sliding off the entertainment center tonight and pining my 2yo against his bed. Thank goodness he wasn't hurt! Needless to say that TV is no longer in the bedroom.
Why can't i have a weekend away from the kids? Why does my DH get 3 in a freaking row!!! Now that the children are safe and sleeping in their beds i guess its time to get going and start cleaning up the house again.
why is it that Mommy's are always the ones that are screwed in the sleep department?
Quoting sent4u5041:
I agree. My dh works 3rd and is either never home or always sleeping. I haven't decided who makes me madder...him or our dd. I was crying today I was so frusterated and exhausted and wanted to sleep!
My DH works the 2nd shift. So Mon-Fri it's basically all on me.
On the weekends we usually do things together so I still don't get any me time, but once in awhile he'll take the girls off my hands. He took them to the park today for about an hour. And, I stayed home.
I usually don't complain because he does work hard. But, so do I and sometimes I just need a break too.
