Need This To Work.

UPDATE AS OF 11/09/09:

Stayed home with the kids Friday night. Saturday morning, H came over and went to our son's soccer game with us - we got along well. After the game he took the kids to the park for the afternoon so I could get housework done. He had asked if he could spend the night at my condo with the kids instead of taking them to his mom's house and I agreed. I had offered to take them to my parents for the night, since I had plans to go out for my best friend's birthday and knew I would not only be out late... but be drinking. He insisted it was okay and he did not care what time I was getting home, he would crash on the couch, etc. So that was the plan.

I went out and a group of us went to the Funny Bone Comedy Club, then out drinking after that. I ended up getting home close to 2am, and was pretty hammered. Got into the house and stumbled upstairs - H was in my bed with my son and my daughter was asleep in her room, so I was going to grab some pajamas and either crash on the couch, or in my son's bed. H woke up as I was leaving the room and said "Here you can have your bed" and I responded "No, it's cool, you stay." He said "No, I'm going to go ahead and go, take your bed."

WTH? I was really pissed. Had I known he was going to get up and leave and not be around for my kids in the morning, I would have taken them to my moms house!!! He knew I was pissed. I said "Well I wouldn't have drank so much if I knew you weren't staying" as I followed him down the stairs and he walked out. I pretty much just slammed the door, locked it and went and passed out.

Of course my kids were up at 6:48am and I was sick as a dog for most of the day... and forced to be mom. I don't like parenting hungover and I really don't like my kids seeing me like that - I would have liked to have stayed in bed with my door shut!!! He called my daughter's phone around 9am and I could hear her saying to him "She has a really bad headache and is really sick.... okay, I will be a good listener." I did not hear from him until 5pm when he IM'ed me and said "Hope your day was not too rough, sorry about the confusion last night." I answered back "Thanks, no biggie." And that was all, I did not start a fight and I let it go and acted like it was fine. But I am still pretty pissed at how he did that.

So that's that. I hope I handled it well.
