Tie Score

On Monday night I was supposed to go to Baltimore.  When I woke up Monday morning at 7am, my 3:45pm flight had already been cancelled.  I rebooked on the 7:05pm.  I received several notifications during the day that it had been postponed to 7:15, 7:30, 7:40.

I left for the airport at 4:30, feeling badly that I was leaving a little bit earlier than I needed to but wanting to get gas for my car and just feeling like it would be nice to have a decent dinner at the airport.  I left my husband managing piano lessons, junior rifle coaching, dinner, babysitter, etc.

I drove to the airport, had a lovely dinner, sat there for 2 hours while my flight was moved back to 8:15, then 8:45.  At 8:00 I cancelled.  I said, "this is ridiculous" and I drove home. 

I got home at 9pm in time to drive the babysitter home.

Tuesday night I went to our shooting club to practice.  I was gone from 6:30 until 9.

Wednesday night I worked late.  I have an important project due Friday and my boss was available tonight to give me some feedback.  I got home at 7:30.

Thursday night we are taking one of my coworkers out for a drink because it is his last day.  I will be home at 7:30.

I was feeling guilty because when I work late or travel or go to the shooting club my stay-at-home husband has to manage homework and dinnertime and bath time all by himself.

This morning, Wednesday morning I left early.  I had to drop the boys off at school at 7:45am for math tutoring and then I went to my office.  I got up at 6:45 to shower and get ready.  I left at 7:30.  It was 6 degrees when I left.

Tonight my husband said to me, "You probably dont want to hear this but today after you left, I put the girls on the bus - then I turned our electric blanket and took a 2 hour nap."

I said, "I DO want to hear it because you have, in one sentence, assuaged ALL of my guilt for the WHOLE week."

What is it with Husbands this week? As we sat down to watch the hockey game last night I said we should have sex everytime the Hawks score. He said "I hope it's a shut out." Men.
