Plan on going out for drinks tonight. I'll send one your way! What's your drink of choice? I can't decide if I want a cosmo tonight or a magarita. Heck, I might just stick to light beer!
Hugs!

Really rough day yesterday... H still hasn't gotten paid from the guy that owes him money... He was so mad yesterday.
On top of which around 1pm S2 wasn't acting right. I took his temp.. 104!!! I freaked. I gave him some medicine and called the dr. Took him that afternoon after running to the jobsite to drop off H's charger that he forgot. S2 has COXSACKIE VIRUS!! I could have died. The poor thing has sores all over this throat. OMG it' terrible. I was up most of the night with him. S5 Had a bday party to go to so H took him, but took him to the girls freakin house instead of the party spot. I swear he doesn't listen to a word I say!
I actuallly got really really mad. When it has to do with them, I cannot hold back. I told him I know he's stressed, but so am I, and I never ask him to do anything for me and when I do You don't really care enough about to be on time or anything (he was late to). I told him I would have taken him there my freakin self and had my mom come down and watch S2.
Again, I know he's worried about money, we are almost empty, but That doesn't mean we have to screw up the day for him.
I said he's going to have to start prioritizing his life, because kids are only little once, and if you don't get their attention from the beginning to be a part of it, they definately won't care too later on.
He doesn't get it.
UGGGHHHH im so fustrated, now he's major late and will miss most of the party.
end of rant.
Gotta go take care of my baby boy.

Sometimes you can't do it all. You need to let up a little. You have a sick child and a working husband. It's a disappointment if your other son has to miss a birthday party, but it is not the end of the world, and he needs to learn about disappointment too. It is a good lesson in life. Let up on yourself and your husband. Do what you can, but don't move heaven and earth to make somebody else's birthday party.
(((Tal))) I hope DS gets over his virus quickly. Sorry about other son being late to the party, but kids are resilient and he will have fun no matter how much time he was there. Having a sick child and the added money stress just tends to make things harder than they need to be. Breathe, this too shall pass.
Hang in there mom and try to get some rest. Easier said than done I know, but try. Heres hopes for a speedy recovery. Corey

My 3 year-old is sick too. Fever and congestion -- his voice sounds so rough, it breaks your heart. He was so upset he couldn't go to the concert with his brother and I last night.
Take care of you and those sweet S's. Thinking of you.
Hi tal, Sometimes, when you are juggling too many balls in the air, you just have decide that you are just going to let some of them drop from the time being - and give yourself permission to be merely human. Take care of your kids and take care of yourself first. (((Hugs!)))

Try to take it easy. It's not the enf of the world and at least H did try to get S to the party even if he didn't hear what you said and went to the wrong place.
You both have a lot going on and are stressed And it is showing for both of you in your everday interaction. Pick your battles wisely.
Hope son feels better. You too.

S2 was up all night since Friday. H was so miserable. S2 got up crying Sat. and H snapped at him and then me. Im so sick of his meaness. He goes from being good to being really bad. On top of trying to take care of a sick kid.
Pretty much was the whole wkend. I tried to keep my distance, but everytime something came up that went wrong H blamed me for it, and its really getting old. I was ready to call it quits this wkend.
Now S5 was supposed to start horse camp this wk (my parents were nice enough to pay for him to go) and now HE's Got the Virus!! He's been looking forward to this all summer, im so upset for him.
Im just beat guys, I haven't slept in 4 days, we're running on empty with money and H is mean as ever, don't know how much more I can take.
Don't mean to have a pity party, this is the only place I can vent without upsetting anybody else.
Thanks.
