Rocky Road

I carry around two journals with me at all times...
just in case the mood to write strikes me...
this came yesterday:

This coaster's not like
The real thing
For surely had
These three months
Been compressed
Into minutes per
The car would have flung
Itself from the track
And we'd all be lying
With blood in our ears



The H pleaded for more time. Said he'd do ANYTHING to make the M work. Well, it seems to me that now that I've given him what he's asked for, H is pulling away. H does less to help w/house & kids than he did before I brought D up. H watches TV while I balance 11 month old on hip while pulling 400 degree chicken from oven. H goes out every night to hang with his "friends" or whatever they are, comes home and goes to bed. That's cool, whatever... I'm just wondering what he's doing with this "chance", and it makes me mad.

Expectations apparently suck, right? I can't have expectations??? Is that right?
