23-1-2011 - Complaint Alert

My mood while writing this blog: Angry / Tearful

---

I've been cramping & spotting on and off for a few days now, and I'm getting increasingly anxious. To make matters worse, I can't seem to get a hold of my emotions. I am tearful, angry, snappish, short-tempered, overwhelmed and... (insert your synonym here). DH thinks that a few minutes of obvious sympathy every few days is sufficient, and that our balance (or misbalance) of household chores needn't change, despite my increasing exhaustion. I began the morning infuriated as our regular routine began (on my day to sleep in) with me getting up with DD, changing her, bringing her to bed, trying to wake up DH, finally succeeding, then having him decide that they should play wrestle in bed. Meanwhile, with each minute I am awake, my chances of getting back to sleep disintegrate. Yesterday, on HIS day to sleep in, I got up with DD at 6am, without waking DH up, and let him sleep until noon, when he awoke by himself - he was still tired and mostly useless, as he'd been out drinking until 4am the night before. His only saving grace was that he had not driven his truck home, and took our dog for a walk when he did go to get his truck.

I shouldn't really be so angry. Today DH did shovel the driveway and create a sledding hill for Z. He took her outside to play twice today for almost an hour, made supper and made breakfast. It's just that, when I was doing dishes for the third time today, looking at the toy destruction all over our house, I became absolutely infuriated again thinking about how DH refuses to buy a dishwasher. I fumed thinking about how he gets to go out and play hockey tonight, while I clean house, do dishes, put Z down for bed, and stress about how I should have gone into work today, but didn't.

Grr... I'd better go get some sleep, so I have a slight chance of being in a better frame of mind tomorrow.

you have every right to vent about that...*hugs*Have you gone to the doctor about the spotting? Might not be a bad idea. I know that it will be hard, with your DH being a lazy and insensitive bum, but try and put your feet up as much as you can.
