I left the house this morning at 8:30ish. The Hubby had yet to come home all night. MIL is up for the day to keep Lil Man, and Jake is at the office with me. The Hubby is on the S&*# List. He's safe and alive so I can be annoyed!
He called this morning around 8:15ish. "Hey! How's it going?"
Me: "Well, considering I'm still at the house and haven't even left for work yet......."
Hubby: "OH!! (dramatically said) That's right... mom is coming up today. Let me call her and see where she is."
Me: "What's the point? If she's 10 mins or 30 mins away.... not changing anything."
Hubby: "Well, okay. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah (in annoyed mode I tend to go a little deaf.) Love you."
Me: "Love you.... don't like you right now but love you. Be safe!"
Hubby: "I'll give you a call in a little bit." (I think he thinks if he waits a little longer I might have chilled a little. And he would be correct. )
I'm really not a witch of a wife but I swear.......this man tends to forget all thinks when work chaos comes into play. I'm a good multi-tasker....I think most women are and for sure almost all mothers are. You have to be! My darling love.....NOT So Much!

A friend and I had made plans to walk this afternoon. She's down a child for the next few days due to a trip to the grandparents so we made us some plans. We were going to throw the kiddos into their strollers, get some girl time and exercise all at once.
Plans are made to be changed. I swear they are. The wind was blowing like mad today so we decided not to walk. I have a cover for my jogger if I absolutely had no choice but to take Lil Man with me. Got a call from The Hubby on my way home saying he was on his way home too.
I KNEW something was up.
I was RIGHT!
He came home so I could walk without having to take Lil Man in the yuck weather. Because, he was going back into town to play basketball. (Which I was cool with b/c he doesn't have a lot of guy time that doesn't involve work. So I was the understanding wife!)
AND THEN..... at 7:30 I get the call.
"We've been called out. I'm done playing ball; going back to work. I'll be home sometime."
Lil Man cried when his daddy left but was soon content to eat dinner with me and then play afterward. We had fun during bath time. Then comes bedtime..... and who does he want???
Daddy
So.... I have to hold my child as we walk the house for him to understand that Daddy is not home. We have to check our bedroom, bathroom (even the toilet), Daddy's closet. He's seriously crying at this point so we head back to his room. Finally, after several minutes he realizes it's doing him no good. He lies in my arms letting me rub his back until he drifts off to sleep.
Through all the frustration and annoyance..... this little guy makes it all better.
Acting a nut for him momma. Who can stay in a bad mood when you look at this face??!!
I smile just looking at this one!!

On another note....... I realize tonight as I'm watching television that we have purchased absolutely NO Easter candy. There is some awesome goodies out there now. This shall be rectified tomorrow!!!

You sound a lot more understanding than I am! I am actually having a lot of trouble allowing my husband to have "me time". He is gone all day at work of course, often has to do work when he does get home in the evenings and weekends, and plus he has been doing a ton of extra work with our youth group at church - which I think is awesome, but he has been gone a lot lately. Then he asked me if he could stop by Lowes and Barnes and noble tonight after work and I about flipped my lid.
It is windy here too. And cold... I want my spring back!
