Rescue Me

Making the transition from Social Worker, to Wife, to Mom, to ?

Name:
Location: Rescue, United States

I have been married to my husband for 6 years. I am currently a Stay at Home Mom, which I love. I have my Masters Degree in Social Work, and may consider returning to work when our son starts school full time. Right now, he is my job.

Regression

And I thought W. was doing so well at preschool... Last week and this week we are back to tears when he goes. Today he begged me not to take him. *sigh*

I think there are a few things going on. One, he's been sick, and is still not 100%. He's been less energetic and more clingy in general. Two, his one good buddy at school was gone all last week. And three, there are a few 'bad boys' at school who seem to be more agressive with hitting and pushing, and I think W. was starting to become afraid of them, and going to school.

I talked to the morning teacher today, (and also mentioned it to the director) and she agreed that there is a group of boys that are more physical and a group that are more like W. She said she would watch and pass the word on.

When I went to pick him up, I found out that his regular teacher had left. He now has a new teacher, who also happens to be his buddy N.'s mom. She told me that she would be watching the boys much more closely and putting a stop to things as soon as she could. She also said she would pair up N. and W. whenever she could. W. did seem better when I picked him up.

I'm hoping with the changes, and hopefully he'll be feeling better soon, that things will improve. I just hate seeing him so upset.

Procrastination

What's worse than being a procrastinator? Being a procrastinator and also being married to one!

Nothing ever gets done! We have projects piling up that need attention, and one of us is not in the mood to do it when the time comes, so they just sit.

DH is worse that me. I'll procrastinate, but then when I want to get something done, I want to get it done right now. DH seems unbothered by all of it.

I've taken on staining the deck on my own. I've mentioned it to DH numerous times this summer that it has to get done. He basically ignored me. I finally told him I would work on it myself, hoping it would guilt him into helping... nope. He just told me to go ahead. Argh. So I did. I've finished the bench that goes around the deck, but still have to do the deck itself. It will probably take 2 more weeks, considering I don't have big chunks of time to work on it.

I'm thinking when it comes time to clean out the freezer, I'll tell DH that since I did the deck on my own, he can do the freezer himself! Don't even get me started on the garage!
