Thank You Husband
All day long all I could think was, "Boy am I glad my husband works at home!" Before you think I am bragging, remember I am a former military wife so I had to parent these children by myself most of my four and a half years of being a mother. This time my husband is at home 24/7 telecommuting.
Sometimes having my husband here 24/7 is annoying. Any marriage would suffer from being around their spouse too much. However, right now I see it as a great blessing. I have a few more weeks left in my pregnancy in one of the hottest summers in years. I am tired, in pain, and have no more patience. I just can't be the greatest mother right now. I don't know what I'd do without my husband here to take over the kids when things get overwhelming.
As you have probably already read, I have terrible, terrible nights. A lot of times I am in tremendous pain, or suffer from restless legs syndrome. In the mornings I am out of it. My husband takes over in the mornings and feeds and dresses the kids. He even changes my son's daily morning poop diaper. I think I am most grateful for that!
I try to keep the kids busy and entertained, but sometimes the kids just fight and have tantrums. That is when I have to ask my husband to take over because I will yell at my children.
Today I was super tired and I could not cool down. I took two showers and had ice cold drinks all day. Nothing could cool me down. I was frustrated and a wreck, but I didn't lose my mind because my husband was there to help me out.
This telecommuting is temporary, so I think I will wait a good five years before trying to have another baby. I don't think I can handle another pregnancy right now, and certainly not by myself. Having my husband here is definitely a blessing and I will always be grateful to my husband. I just need to really try to be sweeter to him. I am so awful lately.
So I want to say publicly how much I appreciate him and how sorry I am for taking out my pain and discomfort on him!!
