Yesterday, I had a job interview at a bar/restauraunt in town. One of the first questions that the man asked me was if I had any kids, and if there was any issues with babysitting. I said no, not if I got the hours that I wanted. The whole reason that I asked for the hours that I did was so my daughter can stay out of daycare, and my husband can watch her. Needless to say he was looking for someone to work the opposite of the hours that I want, of course.
I beat down alot of doors yesterday. Found a cute little brewery that had opened up two weeks ago right across the street from my house. Tried for a job, but they weren't hiring. Made an awesome dinner, kilbasa, and green beans cooked with hickory bacon, with mashed taters and brown gravy. Was killer.
Joe has all next week off, I don't know what I am going to do with myself. You would think that with him home things would get done easier and chores would always be caught up. It is the opposite really. He pretty much has his butt glued to the couch and is either playing video games, or watching movies all day. I can understand that he is the majority money provider for the family. But what do you want to bet that things don't change when I get a job. I will have to work a job, upkeep a house, maintain a child, cook, do laundry....the list goes on and on. It is a wait and see thing I guess. I hope he proves me wrong because I am going to get burnt out on that really fast if I end up doing everything. Hope at least I can get some decent sleep tonight. But the look in Joes eyes tells me different......(sigh)
Amanda, I have been married for 7 years. We have a beautiful daughter of 6. Our marriage has been nothing short of hell for 4 or 5 of those years. Between my drinking and her cheating, no one expected it to work. Granted I only did it for years and she only did it once but still, either is enough for one or the other to call it quits. I'm the type to never give up on anything so I could never let her go (not in a weird sort of stalker way). One thing that changed everything for both of us was a book called "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. It's worth a read for both of you. But even if you can't get Josh to read it, it's worth it for you to read.
