Just a quick post to say, "Hi!" to everyone! I've been reading but not commenting.
Felicia is well, I am well, The Bee...well, he's hanging in there! Work is ridiculous and terrible for him these days. Without trying to sound too dramatic, I feel like a single mother with really awesome child support right now. My husband is pretty much only home to sleep (we eat dinner between 10pm and 2am most nights because that is when he gets home). He is also currently sick, so when he is home, I am taking care of him, too! One would think that a career that uses his college degree would allow for a higher quality of life, but right now he is really dragging. There was even one day a few weeks ago where he didn't even get to hold Felicia in a 24 hour period because of his stupid job. I am glad he is employed, I am not trying to sound ungrateful, but I need my husband and Felicia needs her Dad! I am very worried about his health...physically, mentally, and emotionally.
When we visited my Grandma last Sunday (without The Bee because he was at the office, poor guy), she gave me a hug and said, "I don't ever post on facebook, but I do go on to check on people. From things you are writing I can tell that you love your baby and you miss your husband." Spot on, Grandma!
Lest you think I am exaggerating about how hard/sad it is to not see The Bee (or how stressed/tired he is), Felicia and I drive him to and from work on Thursdays 1. just to spend some waking time with him and 2. so that I can feel confident he will get to and from work safely at least one day of the week.
Aw, girl, I am so sorry!! That work stress seems out of control! Is it always this way, or just seasonally, or...I don't know, it's just too much!! How sad he didn't hold Felicia for 24 hours! :( Praying things get better for yall.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am curious like Erika if it is always supposed to be this way?? That is just a lot to handle! Glad you and Felicia are staying well, though :)
ReplyDeleteDitto to Allison & Erika! I know it's not as easy as him just finding another job, but geez, that sounds like a tough situation! Either way, hoping things get better for all 3 of you soon!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so tough! What does the hubby do that his hours are so grueling?
ReplyDeleteFrom all the pictures on Facebook Felicia is adorable! I'm dead the same thing will happen when Matt goes to the fields. is there any end in site for these crazy hours?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that your hubby is in this situation - that has to be rough on all of you. And if you are anything like me, the fact that winter has decided to stick around WAY longer than necessary is not helping matters. I don't know about you - but I've got some serious cabin fever from being cooped up inside with the baby all day! Hope things calm down for him at work and hope spring decides to get here SOON!
