A thankless job

Sometimes being a mother and a wife is such a thankless job. That is how I feel today. Now I don't expect much thanks from my kids, i mean they don't really understand how much MOM truly does around here, but from my husband, well I guess I expect just something.
Today I got up at 7am with G, my back was killing me so I laid on the couch on the heating pad after getting him up and a bottle. i guess around 8:30am Hubby came downstairs, i was still on the couch on the heating pad. He offered to make breakfast, which is never really a good thing because he never cleans up the mess and eggs are always stuck to the pan. I got up and started to do my morning pick up the house. He fixed breakfast, leaving the mess although he did spray the pan so it wasn't as bad. Then begins his day of sitting and playing the PlayStation. I got ready to take L to the movies. This ended up being H, L and I because L really wanted H to go, it was so sweet. I put G down for a nap right before we left, so he slept the entire time we were gone. So step son and hubby played the PlayStation the whole time. When I got home I got G up, and started cooking our frozen meals and Laundry. I cooked and did laundry until dinner time, then although Michael usually does it , I had to give the kids a bath because he was still playing games. Then after the bath I got them ready for bed, read them stories, and put them all to bed. I was out of freezer bags, so I ran to the store. Came home cleaned up the kitchen tidied the house a little, still doing laundry. Started ironing and just sat down. Hubby sat here the entire time until he finally went up to bed. Never anything productive from him at all today. This is our life, he very rarely helps with anything and wonders why I am reluctant to spend time with him. Does the thought occur to him that Hey maybe if I helped her it would be nice. NOPE NEVER! I just get so frustrated sometimes. I love him, but some days it is such a challenge. I feel like I have 5 kids in the house instead of 4. I am ranting sorry, but sometimes it makes me feel better to get it out.

Anyway the movie, the girls had a great time. I was glad to get to take them and do something fun. The movie was cute, and L did surprisingly well. She was a little scared at first. She didn't want to go into the dark room, but after we got sat down she was fine. She laughed and had a great time. And H kept telling me about the movie. I could tell she was glad to have mommy take her somewhere without the baby to worry about. Sometimes i know it is hard on her to be the older sister, I know she feels left out sometimes, with 2 others fighting for my affection. And she has always been such a mommy's girl. i love them all so much and never want any of them to feel left out. I want them all to be happy and well adjusted. i hope I can make that for them .

Well anyway have a happy week. Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come....................
