Today it snowed, it snowed a lot. So much we were unable to make it to mass at 5:30. Mass actually ended up being canceled. It probably snowed 6 inches on our side of town, it was unbelievable.
Now for the venting. Being married is one of the best things but with good times comes bad times (for better or worse). In our case it seems to be that after having a new baby we tend to fight a bit more in the first few months. It's so much easier for the husband to be able to come and go as he pleases with no real planning of child care. I'm not going to go into why I'm frustrated, but just want to vent and know that someone understands me. Thats the thing too, husbands don't understand what you go through in a day and what sacrifices you make, which makes it so much more frustrating and the thing is they never will understand. Bobby thinks just because I'm a woman it's easier for me that I was born with patience. I told him patience is something we are not born with but have to learn. I think the hardest thing about being a mom is you feel unappreciated a lot of the time, but realizing this only makes me appreciate my mom 100 times more.
O kay I feel a little bit better.

I'm sorry. Dan and I have those times too when it feels like he can come and go as he pleases but I have to account for his and the boy's schedules. It's hard especially after having a new baby because you are so tied down and your hormones are still out of whack. One extremely possitive side to Madeliene taking a bottle now, is that you CAN go out. Dan and I decided that I would get a day off every other Saturday where he is responsible for the kids from the moment they get up (regardless of whether I am there or not) till around 4pm. Now, this only really happened once (we decided to do this right before Christmas and then we had all the family and then I've just felt too sick anyways), but I know that I have a free day if I really need it. Dan understands. Maybe you should suggest it to Bobby. Mentally it has been really freeing for me to know that if I need a day off, and we all do, that I can have one.
