Barrybran III - New job, new life?

[Barrybran]

The last two days have been eventful. My first two days of work at Subway and insolent children last night coupled with a blackout. That's thrown my energy out today and it's affected my wife even more. I sent her flowers at work to perk her up but I don't think she appreciated it. Last time I considered giving her flowers I checked myself and realised I was going to do it to earn brownie points. I checked myself today and I felt good that I was doing it because my wife loves flowers and she's had a sh!t night and day. If she doesn't like them then that's her problem. I went off to work, I've come home to prepare for the evening and I'll do my own thing the rest of today. I'm talking to my wife now and her bad day goes beyond a lack of energy but I can't sort that out for her. I've done something nice for her, I'm available if she needs an ear or a hand. Aside from that, I'll just go about my evening for myself knowing I've had a good, productive day.

Aside from that, our babysitter has come to us with a family problem which will throw our plans off. We've been waiting for my parents to move on so our babysitter can start and when I asked them just now they tell me they have no plans and they'll be around as long as we need them. Unfortunately, we're lost our babysitter last time due to not needing her and I'm not going down that path again just because my parents won't leave. We're going to ask the babysitter to take the kids a couple of days next week and I'm going to ask my parents to move on. We need our space back. My daughter's birthday isn't far away and my parents will come back for that but we need to do some pushing now.
