For the Guy with Kids and a WW 12

[hopeful4her]

What a crazy morning.

I ended up leaving D6 at wife's apartment. She wouldn't wake up. Last night, after I posted, I went to lay in her bed. Passed out. D11 was in her bed. No alarm clock.

Next thing I know, my cell phone is ringing. I can tell by the ringer it is the wife. I'm thinking its like 2 or 3am. Now what? I'm kinda trippin'. She asks if were awake.

????????

I say I'm awake. I look at the clock. 6:40am!! D11's bus gets there in about 15 minutes. I tell her what happened. I decide that she won't go to school today. They are early release day anyway. I'll leave her at the apartment before I go to work. We talk about the sitter and D6 will go to school.

I wake up D11 and she is up and ready in 6 minutes. She thinks she wants to go still. I call wife back to tell her and she is now going to keep D6 home as well so now D11 has to stay home too. We agree on when I'll get her to the apartment. Before she has to go to work. I little chit chat about work and traffic.

I get a call from my good buddy. Talk about my weekend last weekend and possible plans for this weekend. I lost track of time again. Now I'm rushing to get ready. Its all me. I know wife has to leave by 8. Its 7:55 by the time we leave. I call her to let her know. She tells me D6 is already up and VERY grouchy. Doesn't want to stay with her sister. I tell wife to ignore it, she is just waking up.

I get there and sure enough D6 is acting up. Wife says she has to leave.

She looks and smells good, BTW. Those strappy heeled sandals I stupidly bought her a several months ago. Again, AAARRGGHHH!

But so do I Look and smell good. No heels Today, that is.

I'm trying to cheer up D6. Talking to her. D11 takes little dog for a walk. Wife is in kitchen making those little sausages. It's like 8:25. She was supposed to leave at 8.

???????

She asks if I have to leave or if I have a few minutes. I tell her to leave, I'll finish cooking it. I tell her D11 already ate. She says that D11 asked for it. She is late and leaving.

I finish cooking. I ask D11 why she is eating again.

"I didn't ask for it. I just told her that it SMELLED like sausage. She asked me and I told her not really, but that I didn't care. I didn't ask for it."

We agree that mom is nuts and we laugh to ourselves.

Now I'm late for work. I missed a conference call. Boss called me and hung up on me. She's pissed. By the time I get to work, she is fine. No big deal.

I send wife an email. When she left, D6 was still very upset:


"The kids were fine by the time I left. Did you get in trouble?
I missed a conference call. Boss even hung up on me after she called me.

Oh well. She's dramatic. She was fine by the time I got here.

I told the girls no parties or drinking alcohol. I also talked to Amanda and told her to be extra sensitive today. To be a good babysitter.

Enjoy."


I know. Stupid email. I shouldn't have asked anything. Shouldn't have sent it at all probably.

She had told them she would take them lunch on her lunch break. I just called the kiddo's and they canceled those plans. D11 told her not to. Too far. I guess wife agreed pretty easily.
