OK, I'm done. I was going topost in my blog but decided I need the warm fuzzies of affirmation from you, my peeps who will totally get my frustration here:
So, we're 1) about to have an Open House. On Sunday.
2) Submitted a contract on a house we have yet to see in person. (despite assurances from those who have seen it, it's still nerve wracking. and without a contingency clause to sell this one as we offered WAY below the asking price- we'll see what's accepted)
3) We have the following activities: My best friend in the whole wide world's 40th birthday brunch, on Sunday. A family dinner to celebrate Nikolai's birthday (which is really next Saturday but my brother is running in the VA Beach marathon and won't be around. We fly to SA on 3/25 and back on 3/29. An Easter Party at the Russian embassy on 4/8.
Key Point to remember: my husband leaves on 4/1 until 4/8 for a Neurology Conference in California.
So, guess who decided to do a weeklong 'mini fellowship' in North Carolina, "and by the way it's too late to fly so I'm going to drive. Think you'll need the car?" (umm, I think that perhaps once in the WEEK that you'll be gone, I might need the car. jackass) I am so mad. He leaves SATURDAY. as in the day after tomorrow. ( and doesn't come back until Thursday night) and we have the open house on Sunday, plus the various birthday parties.
OK, sure, I'll handle everything like I always do- in addition to keeping the house perfect and manage the dog and the cats and the kid. Yay. But what gets me is the fact that I am being accused of "making him feel guilty." I tried to calmly explain that I didn't really care if he felt guilty or not. If he was mad or not. The fact is, he thinks he needs to do this and I have no way to know whether it's a good thing or a total waste of time- but I DO know that it's one more week of me being responsible for literally everything including selling the f-ing house BY MYSELF. While gee, he has 8 hours of lecture. at an antebellum mansion with a spa. and a lovely outdoor running course... (he's been there before) and then two weeks later, he has 8 hours of lecture, at two of the hotels on the Bay in San Diego. With adult conversation, nice meals, good weather, adult conversation, spa services, educational experiences, adult conversation...
I won tickets to Emeril on 4/11 and for one iota of a second I debated not going. Not now, baby. I'm taking my mom, my SIL and my bestest friend, and Emeril can cook up his magic.
and thanks for letting me vent. Someone pat me on the head and tell me it'll all be over soon.
