What a crappy morning.
B was fine about getting up and getting dressed. But he didn't want to stop playing. I had to wrestle to get his coat on and then wrestle him into the car (he was double upset because we wouldn't let him bring a matchbox truck to school). I angrily informed hubby that I was not going to assist in drop off, even though B was still crying in the back seat. I helped with that on Monday and it didn't help (we still had to leave him screaming for us) and was late for work.
I rushed to get onto the bus and then spent over an hour and a half sitting on it! 495 to the tunnel was a nightmare this morning. So, not only did I upset my husband by bailing on him (but really, he needs to grow a set and step up to this parenting thing), I got in even later than if I'd helped him and taken the train in.
I did get over 10 rows of the aran done on the bus.
Poor hubby, not only does he get snappy me, B refused to change out of his boots and the asst. director got on him for "disturbing the whole school."
I just bougth some KnitPicks Bare. All sock yarn for dyeing, including some silk blend. I had so much fun with the two skeins yesterday, I decided I needed to stock up. I'll post some pics once the two skeins are dried and hanked. One is totally '80s watermelon, but I haven't decided on a name for the second color way.
Quick LOST note: You'll win me back with episodes like last nights, esp. with the emphasis on Desmond!

Part of learning how to behave is NOT behaving. Repetition, patience, practice. The school director doesn't sound like she's helping much; maybe you should have a talk with HER (instead of B).
I fully understand what you mean by needing a fully parenting spouse. I'm incredibly lucky -- I feel we truly do 50/50, maybe 60/40 with me doing 40. It makes a world of difference that DH can do everything I can, sometimes better. Hang in there with yours -- asserting yourself ("I'm not doing X right now; it's your turn") really is the best step (as long as DH doesn't resent you for it).
Looking forward to seeing the watermelon. What a happy color in our current weather!
