Sometimes I want to scream

Wow, didn't realize how long it has been since my last post. Not much excitement around here apparently.
So I appreciate the fact that my husband wants to stay fit, and that he loves to run. However, when it cuts in to the time we actually get to see each other or Natalie, then I get frustrated. When he doesn't get home until 5 or 530, then takes an hour to run, then a 20 minute shower and bathroom break, he really isn't home until around 7pm. By then I am past the point of being hungry, but don't want to eat without him (I've done it all day). I'm ready to have a sidekick to help with NJ. He poops out around 9 pm and is worthless. So sometimes I want to scream! Then I get mad at myself for being selfish. So that is the battle I fight many days of the week.  Now let me say that Brian is the best daddy and a great husband. I am fully aware that he does more than most men. I guess I am spoiled! So stop complaining, right?!?!

Here she is at her first visit to the park with friends. We were outside for 2 1/2 hours and it was lovely! The dogs were annoying as usual, but we had fun!

  1. I understand COMPLETELY!!! Being married to a firefighter can definitely be hard . . . he is gone 24 hours and then it takes him the next 48 hours just to catch up on sleep from being up the previous 24 hours . . . :-( . . . I try to remember how awful I am without sleep . . . but it doesn't make it easier!! Natalie is SO SO cute! We need to get our girls together!!

  2. Maria- I guess I can' t complain after hearing that.
    I agree we need to get together again. Maybe next week? I will catch you on FB.

  3. I understand too!! The life of a police wife certainly makes me want to scream! Natalie looks likes she is enjoying the beautiful weather! Love the hat!

  4. Chad has a normal 8 to 5 job and I start watching the clock at 5. I have absolutely no room to complain, but I still do and then I get mad at myself. It is hard to have no adult interaction all day. But for me the hardest part is having to make all of the decisions regarding the kids by myself all day. But when it boils down to it, I know it is all worth it.

  5. It's just a matter of needing a change of scenery or needing a moment not to worry about her.......just get something completely done, not halfway, right?!
