my "Perfect" night

[tfox73]

Took my mom to see Phantom last night for her birthday that was in July. We had a great time. Went to a really nice new restaurant downtown Seattle and then to the show.

My husband insisted that he could not possibly miss bowling and that I needed to find a sitter. I told him he would have to be home early, no hanging around b.s.ing like he does every week because the sitter had to get to bed for school the next day. He said fine.

I get a call at 11 asking if I am on my way from the girl's mother. They are worried that our sitter will not get enough sleep for school. My husband has not come home and I proceeded to psycho dial his phone because he would not pick it up.

I am so pissed!! I asked to have 1 night out. and he cannot be bothered to give up he lame ass bowling for one night so I can have a little me time??? I am with these kids all day and night everyday. If I go somewhere I have at least one or all 3 with me. He works nights and sleeps all day, so now that school is in session again, he never really sees his kids.

To be honest I often find myself asking why I put up with him and his selfish, inconsiderate ways. If I want a girls night out or just a night alone. I have to do it on a night he is working and I have a sitter so that he is not left dealing with the kids all night. UGH!!  Because of his precious bowling, he is only home on Wednesday nights. My biggest thing with bowling is for the last 7 years he has told me that this is his last year. I think he just says that because he thinks I want to hear it. He doesn't have anything to do with church. I like to go to the Wednesday night stuff, but he gives me the "Wednesday night is the only night that we have to be together as a family" crap. Well who's fault is that?? So I feel guilty if the kids and I go to church on Wednesdays.

He asked me to quite my job because he could not handle the kids all day and not get enough sleep. It seems he is forgetting what it is like to have to deal with them all day long, day in and day out!!

Okay, now I feel better. But I still think he is being a jerk.

BTW - If you wanted to know. Phantom was the best and I would go again everyday while they are here, if I could afford it. Guess I had better go back to work, so i can afford to go. :)
