Storm's a breakin'

To say that this week hasn't been the best is an understatement...

Fortunately, the storm broke yesterday and hopefully it's sunny skies from here.

DH is stressed out of his mind!  I didn't fully catch on until yesterday, but I was annoyed with him ALL WEEK for being so difficult.  I felt like I was running around doing everything, the only person thinking of things like what we were going to eat, and what to do with the dog... important things.  I felt like all he did was sleep, watch TV, and play guitar.  And that WAS all he did.  He barely talked to me, he didn't come to bed at night (fell asleep on the couch or stayed up on the computer), and he didn't listen to anything I asked him to do.  I felt like he hated me all week.  


Last night we had the blowout fight (which always comes after he's been brewing) and he admitted that it was all from stress.  It wasn't really a fight between us... it was more a breakdown on his part.  His breakdowns are just so darn difficult to endure.  He's stressed about so many things and can't even pinpoint what is making him feel so down.  He is stressed about the economy, about his job right now, about the church, about us having a baby (and not being able to afford it because of the economy and his job), about his parents, about.... the list goes on and on!  And unlike me, he's not at all willing to talk to ANYBODY about it (besides me!).  He may talk to one person about a portion, and another about a little bit more, but he's not able to get the whole thing out there for someone else to know ALL that is going on with him.  And that frustrates me to no end.  


So, I get to live with a grumpy, depressed, closed-down, boy who will barely talk to me about what is going on, leave his dishes and clothes all around, and is generally no fun to be around right now.


Oh please let this stage pass quickly!


(Sorry if this is too much of a bashing email.  I do hate complaining about my man because I honestly love him SO SO SO MUCH, but I really, really just needed somewhere to let it out today.  Anyways, it's not as much about him, as it is about me dealing with what is going on right now.  All I want to do is enjoy the sunshine this weekend...and enjoy a weekend after working 12 days straight!)
