Hatey Smurf

[Jini]

WTF? I woke up hating the world today. I mean like, if you come anywhere near me, I'm going to shout in your face and tell you exactly what a dumbass I think you are. And why am I Hatey Smurf today? Because, oh, let's see....the event I've been looking forward to for about two months may not happen because my dumbass husband has been sick for over a week and may not be well enough to keep the kid for the day. Yeah, yeah, it's not his fault, but it still pisses me off to no end since he once told me he doesn't want me going out so much now that we have the kid, which means, a teeny tiny part of me thinks he's faking just so I won't go to this super-funtastic birthday excursion this weekend.

So, don't fucking get in my way today because I'm in no goddamned mood. Where's that fucking asteroid when I need it?

[smetchie]

Jini, I sure hope you still get to go! If it's only one day I think he should suck it up. And YOU should ignore your guilty feelings about making him suck it up. If you've been looking forward to it for that long you need to make it happen or else you're going to resent the living hell out of him. Can you not get someone else to watch your kid for the day.
And what's wrong with him that he's been sick for A WEEK?

I HATE when my husband is sick. I'm a terrible awful person! I know it's not his fault when he's sick but it's just so goddamned inconvenient and it wrecks my plans. I hate anything that wrecks my plans. I especially hate that when he's sick he uses all his energy on going to work and then has none left over. I'm a big baby AND a terrible wife in this aspect because he's so fucking understanding if I'M sick it's just ridiculous. How DARE he be so fucking reasonable?!

[Jini]

I'm not keeping my hopes up at this point. I'm not going to make him suck it up because he cousin, who's an actaul doctor (in another state, though), uttered the words "swine flu" when he heard the symptoms. Fucking hell. He's supposed to call his PCP today.

There are two people who I trust implicity with our baby - both are going on the day trip on Saturday. Plus, I feel so guilty that he's in day care full-time during the week, I want him to be exposed to us as parents as much as possible. Plus, I'd feel guilty that I'd be imposing if I ask to have our kid baby sat too much. I know we Catholics have a pretty good lock on the guilt thing, but I swear there's a little Jew in my lineage, too. Oy gevalt!

I'm so fucked in the head.

I know exactly how you feel Jini. How old is your son?

[Jini]

My Jack-Jack is ten months old. And I'm pretty sure his first actual word will be "fuck".

[smetchie]

Oh my gosh, Jini! He's SO CUTE!! (is that your house? I love that couch!)

If you're anything like me it will get much easier to leave him as he gets older and you won't feel nearly so guilty asking people to babysit. I still have issues with it and I still feel guilty when I leave my daughters with my husband for too long. It takes a while but it does get better. This is our mantra:

"It won't be long now!!"

[Jini]

Thanks! That's my mom's house. That duck was made by my grandfather, so Jack's the third generation to be rocking away in it.

I'm trying to get my husband prepared for a weekend trip I'm pretty sure a girlfriend and I are doing next year for our "zero" birthdays.

(And I'm feeling a little less hateful. Thanks, Gretchen!)

[smetchie]

I'm going to CA in October for a long weekend w/my girlfriends!! I haven't taken a plane trip alone, without kids, and not for business since before my oldest was born. (SHE'S FIVE!)

ok so I flew to Washington State for a funeral last year on my own but that doesn't really count.

[smetchie]

Yeah, sad to admit but it was pretty nice. Even though I had to go to a funeral I really enjoyed that trip.

Years ago working on 3rd shift i had a co-worker who kept coming to work in blue sweatpants and sweatshirt, so i started calling her Bitchy Smurf. I just wanted to share that.

[smetchie]

hahaha!

I hate it when I plan to fake sickness to have some peace and my wife is faster than me.
