I was hoping someone could help me with this...

It's funny how feelings change or seem to change so fast, from my POV.

About a month ago until this past week I thought things were getting better and better almost everyday. We had dinner together as a family a few times hung out talked laughed, ect.

This past week has been awful. I had my kids the weekend before and noticed my daughter seemed to be getting a cold. didn't seem to have a big fever, so I didn't think it was a HUGE deal. My wife was on call all weekend and the kids were off school Monday so I told her I would keep them a half day on Monday so she could finish up work. Well my daughter spikes a fever 102 so wife takes her to the Dr, she has pneumonia.

Daughter can't go to school on Tuesday and wife asks if I can take off on Tuesday, I couldn't. Then she calls Tuesday at like 5pm and asks if I can take a half day on Wed. I couldn't but told her that I could take off Thursday. I could tell she was upset but I really couldn't take off.

I called to talk with the kids Tuesday night and told my wife that my son's cub scout meeting is next Tuesday (tomorrow) and not the normal Thursday. She said she knew and RSVP'd since they are having a pizza party but she RSVP'D for 3. Normally I take him and she stays home with D or visa versa. I didn't let her know it really pi$$ed me off. I haven't missed ONE cub scout thing. Plus I've always told her if she RSVP's to these things copy me on the email so I know it's done. It just seems to me to be common courtesy.

Her parents were there this weekend which means if I call to talk with the kids it's ALWAYS a bad time, not in a bad way but they are always doing something. I've asked her to have the kids call me so I don't get them in the middle of doing something, no call all weekend.

It's weeks like these I wonder why I still want to try.
