homocidal hormones
I put my kids to bed every night. EVERY night.
Dh does the bath and then I put them to bed while he putzes on the computer or watches t.v. I normally don't mind.
I hardly EVER go out at night. Dh plays soccer, softball, goes out after work on occasion... he's out during bedtime once a week.
So tonight my dad asked me out for a date.

Dh says "sure, go" and so I'm off duty. I warn my kids that dh will be doing bedtime but that I'll be home before too long. They are fine. My dad and I have a nice time at dinner but we're done by 6:45. I go shopping for dd's birthday for awhile to make sure I'm out past the time they usually go to bed. I finally come home at 8:10 and see through the open window that my dd is still up.

:
I come in and ask why she's still awake. She says because she was scared. Oh... did I mention that they are watching football? Dh says that he thought it would be okay for her to watch football with him for awhile. (please read between the lines here that she woke up and he didn't want to miss any of the *#%*@!! game so he let her stay out there with him insted of trying to get her back to sleep.)
I am so p.o.'d!! The one night that I have to be able to come home without dealing with getting kids to sleep and I can just relax and lo and behold there's a kid on the couch. So I'm stewing... but trying not to take it out on my beautiful innocent daughter. I finally say that I'm going back to work for awhile to work on some packaging and that I'll be home soon. I'm totally expecting dh to eventually want ME to get dd to go back to sleep because I know he can't stand to miss the game. Well, the only way out of that one is to not be around. So I left. On my way out the door dh actually has the nerve to say to me "what about OUR time?"

:
WTF??!!
I said "THIS is usually our time"
kissed my baby girl and came to work.
You know, I'd really rather be home but I'm so angry with him right now that I don't want him to be there with me. It's better that I'm here. Why do men sometimes JUST NOT GET IT??? I know I'm hormonal but come on.
I hope they are all sound asleep when I get back. I'm sure I'll feel better in the morning.
thanks for letting me vent.
