Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

When I try to come up w/ an explanation for my tears today (can’t remember the last time I cried), the first thing that comes to mind is DH’s complete overlooking of my trying to help him. Lately I’ve been ditching our 3.5 yo on him to deal w/ in the mornings, mainly so I can have some peace and enjoy my other kids and get to work on time. But also, he makes a lot of noise with his hissy fits and I’m afraid DH is going to bark at BOTH of us to keep it down so he can get his extra 5 or 10 minutes of sleep.
He texted me Monday that he was sick of DS’s morning antics. Without really thinking “I’m going to do this act of charity for DH” I just assumed upon myself the task of getting this kid oriented to mornings as part of my overall overdue discipline overhaul w/ this kid. So yesterday I got him up and he was dressed and eating when I left. DH was in a mood last night, but when I asked him how that morning went, he said better, but there was no thank you in there for me. I shouldn’t be so proud, but it really woulda meant a lot to me to hear that. This morning, I took it a step further and took DS to the sitter so DH wouldn’t have an extra stop to make. So far, not a word from him.
On one hand, I don’t want to make the excuse that I’ve been single-handedly manning the full load of everything related to our children on top of working full time for the last 7 years. . .just b/c I’m able-bodied and more oriented to these tasks than DH. But COME ON!!! I’ve been late to work the last 2 days taking on the extra child in the morning which means I have to work late, which means DH is later getting back to work and has to work late himself.
I have enough stress from work, and DH is prob. sick of hearing me cry about it, but I really need some comfort right now. I already mentioned to him the other day that I need all the extra help I can get, and he said ok, but it hasn’t amounted to any action on his part. I AM SO TIRED!!!

More bad news. The boss calls me in to her office and says I HAVE to take a half hour lunch. I have just been taking 15 minutes and going to jog. Not being able to come in till 725, the only way I can leave by 330 is to take a short lunch. I figured this was coming, but I was hoping it wouldn’t. So now DH has to work even later each night. And 15 minutes can mean a 30-45 minute difference in my evening routine with the kids/dinner/chores. It’s been so nice leaving at 330 every day.
I told DH I COULD just leave the baby with him and he take ALL of the kids every morning so I could get in earlier (honestly, this is the easiest baby you could ask for). But he’d rather ME take him and just come home later. I haven’t mentioned it to him, but he COULD take a shorter lunch (like, 45 min instead of an hour) and cut back on how late he has to stay every night.
Oh man, I wish I could just stay home!!!

In tears again today as I read new policies sent out to everyone from HR regarding attendance. 2 tardies equals 1 occurance and I don’t know how many occurances count toward a written warning and further disciplinary action (4-6). I already have 2 strikes on my record this year and I’m late EVERY DAY!!!
I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour, but with a nursing 6mo, I have a hard time getting out of bed every morning. Honestly, I’m not sure if the extra half hour would make any difference. Sometimes I have lunch packed the night before, sometimes I don’t. I feel like I’m barking at my kids every morning and pulling them out of bed no matter how early they get to bed the night before. Now DH is telling me he needs to work OT and I already don’t see him and he gets home too late to help w/ bed time. Then when he gets home, he doesn’t have time to help w/ packing lunches or doing chores b/c he has to hit the books for school.
Oh please, Dear God, please help me, I am so frustrated. I wish I could cut back at work even just 2 hours a week. If I didn’t have to be in till 730 and I could leave at 330 every day, it would help out both DH’s and my schedules. Jesus, Mercy!
