I'm fighting anger here.

It's not fair, for the first time in a really long time, I had an unusual excitement over Chris's day off.
I was looking forward to it for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it was our last day off together before I go back to work.
During the school year, it is as if we don't see each other for days at a time because we arrange our work schedules for childcare.
I am really upset. Really, really upset.
I NEEDED him to be off work today.
Do you realize that I have not been up to my classroom yet?
I don't even know if hurricane sunday school or tropical storm vacation Bible school has left it unrecognizable as my music classroom...
I have found it to be futile to take the kids and expect to get anything done up there.
So I NEEDED him to be off today.
But I also Wanted him to be off.
It was his day off. The fact that he is up there means that his miserable 70+ hour work week will likely end up being more like 75-80.
He figuratively and now literally puts out fires that others start for a living...
I think it was close to 3AM before he got home after the disaster and he was gone again by 8AM.
Poor, poor hunny...
I am really trying to fight back the 'mad' here...

I am most certainly up for watching your kiddios. F. would love it. Let me know. I am serious. We could go to the park, or hang out here, or hang out their, whatever you want us to do.

I am so sorry. That is such a terrible terrible terrible bummer. I am praying for you guys. And you have every right to be mad. It's bad enough when we need our husbands to be home for help and they can't show, but when we really are wanting them there, missing them, wanting to enjoy them and they can't come - that really stinks.

Hey A, I'm so sorry you're having a rough day. If I was there I would wrap my big arms around you and just rock back and forth and let you cry. Hold on to Jesus' hand, ok? I love you. Everything's going to be ok.....
