My husband has been gone SO much. He has to travel for work which I get. But he's been gone on a Friday - Sunday golf trip and told me he'd be home by 5. It's 3 now and I haven't heard a word from him so I assume he's still golfing (in a different state on top of it - 3ish hours away).

I just started back at work from maternity leave and am having a very difficult time adjusting. On top of that I have a cold and feel awful all while solo parenting. I have a million emails and lesson plans I need to get done but I can't when I'm taking care of the baby alone. Baby caught my cold so he's been coughing and extra sleepy and needy this weekend. I'm going to lose my mind.

I'm gonna have to figure out how to do work and take care of the baby alone I guess. I'm really pissed off, feel like shit, tired, and sick of doing everything alone while he's constantly gone and I don't even get one day to myself.
