AAAGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
I am soooo sick. I've been throwing-up for three days, have a fever and all that mess. I also have three children to care for and I have to work. Well, I felt so bad today that I called in sick (I have to be DYING to do that). I called STBX begging him to help with the boys b/c I can't get any rest and therefore cannot get better while I have all three of them. So, what does he say? Well, he has a sore throat and doesn't feel well. He's called in sick today (he calls in if he has a mild headache) and of course has plenty of sick days to take off. I don't have any paid time off. He said that he has to go in for a couple of hours this evening b/c some guy from corporate is coming (ALWAYS his excuse!!!), but he'll get ONE of the boys after that. Oh, and it'll be around 10pm b/c he doesn't want to go in anytime soon b/c "he's tired". Then, he'll have to drop whomever he takes here in the morning! Why? Well, he says that he has to be to work no later than 7am. The


Samantha,
Are you sure we weren't married to the same guy? Oh my God, that is EXACTLY how my ex is. Like you- I have no paid time off. So for me to be out of work, it's got to be pretty bad. Whereas he owns his company so he can take off whenever- so when our daughter is sick I am always the one who has to take unpaid time off, yet Mr. Moneybags can't take off because of a meeting, conference call, etc. But that's another subject...
A couple months ago I had a horrible stomach virus, and barely had the energy to take my daughter to school. I went back home, called out sick to work and laid in bed all day praying i'd stop throwing up. I called my ex and BEGGED him to please get our daughter since I was contagious....what was his response? "Sorry, i'd love to help you but I made plans with Kim already" (his girlfriend). So he chose hanging out with his girlfriend over protecting his daughter from a HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS STOMACH VIRUS that her mother had! I ended up calling my best friend and she came over and helped me with my little girl. Then a couple days later when he had her he said "You didn't get her sick did you?"
What a Prince Charming.

Hugs Samantha...
I hope you are not reading this soon because you are getting some rest. I absolutely know how hard it is when you are that sick and you have to somehow care for the children. While its impossible to pull the covers up over your head and take medicine and zonk out...let the older one(s) help however they can hon.
Station yourself on the couch (perhaps with a trashcan with a bag in it at the ready...:p)
and make a game of letting the little guys 'help' momma...you would be surprised how they will like to be a big helper when mommy feels bad. Yep, I know you will still end up having to run into their bedroom when you hear the screams cuz' they are fighting over the broken-off arm of a superhero, but you may get 15 min rest at a time with this tactic.
Line up a couple of video's (even if that is not what you usually allow in your home), put several toys you know they like out, put easy to get snacks down on the counter for them and then park yourself back on the couch....that is to be your Headquarters til your fever is down, kk?!
I so hope you feel much better soon; and when you have your strength back, relax your rules of not wanting revenge and spend a creative 15 minutes writing down ideas of how to harass the ex the next time you hear he isn't feeling well. Just barely kidding Samantha....Peace, Annah
Thinking of you and hoping that you start feeling better soon!
*hugs*
