Suck it up and drive on cupcake

I'm emotionally and physically tired today...might as well throw mentally in there as well.  There are so many things in motion and I feel like if I had one more arm, I might be able to juggle them all...so far no such luck.  I'm frustrated with the fact that my husband interviewed for a job over a month ago and we still haven't heard back from them-in fact when he called to inquire about whether the job had been filled, they indicated that the process was moving slower than anticipated and no choice had been made. He would be fantastic in this role, it's a great environment for him, and the money he would save on the shorter commute would be fantastic...It would also mean that he would get home before 7pm every night and could help me out with the evening routine of cooking a myriad of different dinners, giving baths, and cleaning up...Come on karma, time for the good stuff to roll around.

Speaking of my husband, he's been sick for the past month with one thing or another..."flu like symptoms" that come and go, kidney stones, etc etc etc...So his weekends have been spent sleeping and laying around on the couch in his sweatshirt drinking tea and eating soup.  I've been running around like a mad women trying to get the house up to "somewhat" presentable status, which means bare minimum basic cleaning.  I'm tired.  I want to shout out that the world doesn't stop when you're sick, especially when you're a parent. Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe it doesn't stop for moms because we are expected to suck-it-up-and-drive-on-cupcake and just get'er done..Is it a gender thing or am I just too chicken shit to open my mouth and say "hey, this is fucking retarded and unfair" ? Sigh. I'm grumpy today.
