Oh man, LL...I really feel for you! BEEN there and in some ways I still am.

I sure do remember the colic, being a snot rag, toys flushed down the toilet, whining, fighting, throwing up, and ALL of it. I remember being so sleep deprived at one point that I was practically halucinating, worn out from nursing and wondering if I would ever get more time to myself than 5 min. in the bathroom!

From what I've seen, but for the few stay-at-home dads....they just don't get it. Not even the best guys I know and it SUCKS!

The weird thing is how it all went by so fast and how much I miss it. It was the hardest job I ever did staying home with 2 kids (especially all those months on end alone when H was deployed). Now that I look back, it was also the sweetest time.

I don't know, LL. I would be very tempted to take the "I want list and post it up in your bedroom. I think I'd also be very tempted, in your shoes, to gently but irrevocably tell your H that he needs to take the kids every Saturday or whatever so you can have some time. Damit, Janet, you and I could get together & go see Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Then again...maybe I'm a bad influence and you shouldn't listen to me because I ain't the best DBer around, LOLOLOL!!
