So dh got a promotion. Hooray, good news, but...
his promotion means he moves to a new job title, thereby losing all seniority he had, and making him the first one up to be mandated to work a double.
his promotion moves him to a new location, which happens to be one of the most dangerous in the city, and a two hour commute.
his promotion, thanks to the latest collective bargaining agreement means him taking a pay CUT for the first year.
So he is gone for twenty hours at a time, home for four (the only time he has to sleep), and then he is back at work again.
he is exhausted, he misses the babies. i sm exhausted. i actually put onr of Abigail's diapers on Evelyn today and didn't even notice until ten minutes later. they do not sleep at the same time. i swear they are a tag team, as soon as one goes down the other gets up. when one is happy the other starts to cry. and since he is working i have no break. i have to be up with one or both of them so he can sleep, whether I have been up all night or not. and they won't nap together. today they won't even nap. I'm here nursing evelyn and letting Abigail throw sheets of newspaper up in the air because at least she's happy and my house is a big mess anyway since i barely have time to pee let alone clean. and it's not like she's misbehaving. she is being her sweet self but we have read books, colored, danced, built, sorted, peek a booed, tickled, and i am just plain worn out. i should be making dinner now but i am seriously contemplating just having cheese sandwiches.
if only they would sleep for half an hour!
and this is not at all related but there was a police shooting in the city a few days ago. a group of cops fired 50 shots at a car, killing one and wounding two others. no one knows why. it's under investigation.
so Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are on tv with the family and a local councilman. And the councilman says " it's time for us to start showing the cops we know how to shoot guns too" (or something very close to that, and he was not speaking in metaphors). WTF? and no one even blinked an eye. people are ****ing applauding like that is a reasonable thing to say. that is disgusting! I'm glad the family has people supporting them and bringing attention to what happened but OMG telling people to go around shooting random cops? this is before anyone even knows what happened, not that it would EVER be an appropriate thing to say.
it pisses me off tha he said that and everyone is ok with it. I would have like Jesse Jackson at least to have called him on it.
now i really do have to go make those sandwiches.
