Seriously. Right now I am SO annoyed. It is 7:44 a.m. and I have decided to stay home today. The last 2 days I've been feeling really weird in my lower stomach and lower back area... kinda like it feels when you are at the end of your pregnancy and you are feeling all hard and tight in your stomach and back. Last night it was the worst it's been. I took a pg test and it was negative, which I was expecting... there is no possible way I'm pg right now... I slept good but am still feeling it this morning. So, whatever, I called in to work... my boss lady is really nice/understanding when it comes to calling in... thank god.
But calling in has already caused this this morning...
1) Greg picked up an OT shift today from 8-4:30
2) Ellie is going to spend the day with my dad
3) I got up with them this morning, gave Ellie a bath and packed her bag
4) Greg and Ellie left the house at about 7:15
5) I get a phone call from Greg asking why I let him leave so late... (why "I" let him leave so late??) then he whined a bit about not having a car at work (my dad keeps our car so he can take Ellie where he wants for the day) etc, etc... mind you this is one of a handful of days Greg EVER takes her to daycare/dads for the day and I'm already hearing the complaints
6) I get another phone call saying Ellie threw up during the drive to my dad's (she's done this multiple times with me, just change her shirt and be on your way... really no big deal, she just drank to much apple juice and we are still trying to get the reflux under control)
7) I get another call and all he said was, "let me call you right back"
8) I just got another call saying he's dropped Ellie off and my dad ended up giving him his truck so he wouldn't be without a car at work all day
Whew, crisis averted huh?
All these phone calls within 29 minutes. Geesh.
What would the world be like without us mommy's?
Now my peaceful day begins... peaceful meaning I'm home ALONE! Peaceful meaning I get to lay on the couch and veg out... in between loads of laundry, dishes, sweeping and picking up toys... but peaceful and quiet... me and the cats. Sweet :)

I don't mean to complain about my hubby. He is an awesome husband and daddy, we just all have our moments, ya know?

I just woke up! I slept all morning! Go me! :) Apparently I needed it.!

You are telling me. I was supposed to get a weekend alone with hubby. Only now I have two sick kids. :(
I think we all deserve me time...I actually had 3 whole days of me time this week, but too bad it was spent being sick so it wasn't that much fun.
And we know you aren't complaining about your hubby...men just like do complain about the little stuff :-)
Hmm. Me time, um, me time. Let me think.
[thinking]
With nothing to do time.
[thinking]
Isn't that what I get when I go to work each day? But wait, there's no veg in that...
[thinking]
I have no idea what the hell you are talking about! You need to write a post and explain this whole 'me time' concept. I think it has legs!
BTW - OhCountess has taken the girls to daycare maybe twice in the last 5 years. Its not always mommies that take care of that stuff.
Tell Greg to quit whining about not having a car at work. My car is parked at Wal-mart North. I work at St. Mary's, you do the math. :-D
I hope you eventually enjoyed your time alone and i hope you are feeling better for it.
What are husbands like?!!!
He-He. Mine is my fifth child:-D

Oh honey-I can sympathize with you. Being a single mom sometimes leaves me "craving" me time! When its just the 2 of us, and no other adult, she wants all my attention, a lot of the time. However, on the flip side. When H goes with her dad, I get "me" time. Completely. Not just in another room of the house. Either way, I so do think that it is important to keep up on our "selves" so that we can be better mothers, or wives. Enjoy what time you can give yourself! You deserve it!
YHEA for a sleep-in day!!! even teh good hubbies act a little helpess and a bit annoying sometimes! Hope you are feeling better soon!
I did not act helpless. If wife had her sense of humor turned on this morning she would have known that I was not blaming her for me leaving late. Nor was I whining about not having a car. What I said was that it kind of sucks that I wouldn't have one to be able to leave if I wanted.
And who wouldn't freak out a little when the child pukes when you are running late for work.
Thanks for making me look like the A-Hole wife. I heart you:)
everyone has their moments baby, no worries :)
i need me time too.
brandon had reflux BADLY they gave us chewable kids prevacid. worked awesome. he was one it about 3 months and hasn't seemed to have issues since.
