I am not really jealous, just tired and bummed that he gets to have all of the fun…but Dean’s enjoying meals w/ friends and family, he went to an amusement park, a concert and has been enjoying the hot tub/jacuzzi at the hotel that his work is footing the bill for.   meanwhile, I am stuck here cleaning house, throw up covered kids and laundry, and dealing with the crap of being a homeowner.   plus a whole ton of other things I am dealing with, today I am worn out beyond belief.   I think I’m getting sick or just getting drained from all the busyness of the last week.   bought some immunity defense orange juice just in case it is the beginning of a bug.   so while I’m not really jealous, I am anxious for Dean to be home and eventually to be at our new home in Ohio, wherever that may be!  but I really hate to hear him complain about always eating out…heck I’d love to have the option and not worry about having to pay for it or at least not having to cook and clean up while caring for 3 kids.   or about being tired…he gets to sleep all night long, and I’m sure no one is waking him at 630 for a diaper change or bottle, or midnight covered in throw up ….bah on him…but really I am glad he’s got the chance to do something like this…to be with his family, to be a vital part of a new office opening, and to get some down time…god what I’d give for some relaxing down time.

I left the kids w/ my mom this afternoon, to get bloodwork done and to go get juice and baby cereal at the store.   I sat at the lab for a little over an hour until they decided the bloodwork the dr wanted is too rare and they needed someone to tell them how to order it and what they needed but that office was closed by that time of day, after my waiting to be called for them to see my paperwork, so an hour and a half later I was home w/ not having bloodwork done at all.   i grabbed two fussy kids and headed to the store while mom sat w/ zeke and waited for the guys to come pick up the new fridge we are returning.   so even though I was away from the kids for over an hour, it was not the least bit relaxing.  for once I’d love to get a sitter to do something fun and not something stressful.    we have a wedding to attend this saturday for my cousin and cant find someone to keep the kids.   I really want to go as it will be the last time I see some of them for a while due to the move…..anyone know someone looking to make some extra cash that is trustworthy and likes kids?!?!   i would take them w/ but the invite cleary stated no kids….
