Today a shipped my H and SS off to a ball tournament out of town. My cousins kid had to go along with them because my cousin went in for an emergency operation this morning. I took the other 3 kids to the lake to celebrate my youngest daughter's birthday (the big 2). The weather was nice when we left town, but horrible by the time we got to the lake. It took about 4 hours to clear up for the girls to go swimming. While we were out there we received a call from another cousin saying that the operation had gone seriously wrong and my cous had a heart attack on the operating table because he was allergic to the anesthetic. Last I heard tonight is that after 2 hours of trying they finally got him breathing on his own again. How scary, the man is only 37 years old and has 3 kids.
But on the bright side the kids had a riot when the sun finally came out, my SS won both of his games and I didn't really have to fight with my kids today. woo hoo. Those days are very few and far between.

It was my husbands first full day alone with all of our kids while I went to work. He took the week off for "holidays". I wasn't at work for 30 minutes and he was calling me freaking out because he couldn't handle the kids anymore. The baby was crying the girls were fighting and the oldest was being rude as usual. How is it that he can't even handle them for a half hour, yet when I was on maternity leave he expected the world from me. I should be able to take care of them, take them out and play, while cleaning the house and dealing with the contractors....all under construction as we are adding on to our house right now. I thought this would open his eyes to realize what I have been going through the last 5 months, but he can't get past feeling sorry for himself long enough to realize that other people (me and my mother) deal with this on a regular basis.
I understand he is stressed out about the things going on in our life right now too........but come on.
