The only words that comes to mind are....Bad Wife, Bad Wife, Bad Wife.

Please don't think I am horrible, I am usually not like this, but Oh my goodness, today was aweful.

Ok, my dh drives a truck a few days a week, and he got home yesterday (tuesday) and he was supposed to be home for the rest of the week, and then leave again on Monday.

**a main part of the story is that we had scheduled Family pictures on Thursday (tomorrow).**

Well, anyway, his dad (who also drives a truck)called and was having pains in his heart (he has a difibulator(sp?) and it shocked him). He was rushed to the ER, and Dh and I went to pick up his semi-truck from where he was loading it. Then, dh decides that since the truck is loaded he will go ahead and take it where it is going (the responsible thing to do, right?). So I get mad because....are you ready?...yeah, I get mad because we have pictures scheduled for tomorrow!

I am like so upset..that we get in this huge arguement and it was just real bad. We finally get to the place where we are supposed to pick up the truck and I like break down and start crying...I mean balling my eyes out! So sorry that I had acted so inconsiderate. And to make me feel even worse he says "it's okay your just having a real emotional day today". I felt like I was going to drop off the face of the earth.

Anyway, I guess I just wanted to confess to all the moms here that I had a temporary day of insanity and this is the worse I have felt in a long time. On the day my dh needed me to be there for him I was mad about pictures. Oh goodness! Trial and error and I am trying everyday to be the wife I need to be and I mess up alot, but I am not giving up. Thanks for reading my guilty story.

It will not be the last time.
I do this a lot & I don't mean too.
I made my dh come home from work today because I wasn't feeling good & didn't want to deal with our dk's.

Candis, LOL I think we have all been there. Seems so huge at the moment and then when it is all over we see how silly the whole mess was. One of those, If I could only take it back moments. Being a good wife doesn't mean being perfect, it means being able to admit when you are wrong and working towards making the changes that will help you to prevent it from happening again. No matter how good at this whole wife thing we become our lives are ever changing and what we can deal with today we might not be able to tomorrow. And issues we never thought we will have to deal with will come up. As long as you stand in your commitment and plug forward and remember to cut yourself some slack every once in a while you will make it through anything that will be thrown in your path. Big hugs, and hopes that tomorrow is a better day.

Dont beat yourself up too much, my dh has been traveling alot on business and when I think he will be home he gets called away on something else. When he gets home he is so tired that he might as well have stayed away. It does make you mad, you expect them to be there, you have had it w/ the dk, you are tired of sleeping by yourself and every once in a while you act in a way your not proud of. We all do it, just know that it is more that you miss the dh and you get cranky that you dont see him all the time.
