Well the last few weeks, as I mentioned, I have been super busy getting ready for this trade show. Plus we have been moving the warehouse, Tom has been working non-stop and sales are picking up again. I have been completely on edge and stressed out. A couple of nights I didn't sleep much so I was kinda messed up before we left. I don't do well when I don't sleep. I was however looking forward to spending 3 nights alone with my husband. Who wouldn't want that? Well things didn't quite turn out the way we had hoped. Friday night Tom drove me home 3 hrs and turned around picked up his cousin and drove right back...into snow no less. I am officially a nutcase. Lets jut say that all the stress from the week got to me to the point that I was sick. My stomach was so bad and I was full of anxiety that the thought of staying there another 2 days just made me nuts. I really would have stayed and sucked it up but my husband knows me and I was just creating more stress on him. He knew the next few days would have been rough. I know this seems nuts, but if you knew more of my history with things it would make more sense.
Anyway.... yesterday while sitting at home, feeling fine by the way, I felt embarrassed, ashamed and just a weak person. I hated it that I wasn't there with him. This is our business and I needed to be there. There was so much more I wanted to see at the show too. It was best that I came home. I am very lucky that I have such a wonderful husband that gets me. We missed our Valentines day together. Our 13th wedding anniversary is on Tuesday. I have already asked his mom to take Jack on Sat for a sleepover. I need to make it up to him big time!!
Jack was very happy to see me in the morning. My sister had planned to take him to see Hotel for Dogs yesterday so she still did that. He really wanted to go. So I had some time to myself. I ended up catching up on some of my shows last night.
Why is it that you can't get your kids up for school during the week but on the weekends they come bounding in your room super early when all you want to do is sleep. It never fails on the weekends. Jack will sleep till 8-8:30 all the time. I have to wake him at 7:45 for school days. But there is always one weekend day that he wakes up at 7-7:15...what is it??
