Stand Back

This is one of those days where anything will set me off. My students are driving me insane...it's not totally their fault, we don't have enough classes for them all. But their insistance on only taking X and not even looking at Y is driving me bonkers. In my whole academic career, I always was willing to bend. If my desired course was closed, I just picked another one. These students seem to only know how to whine and not problem solve. *sigh* It only makes it harder to advocate for them.

The hubby is on the brink of a mental breakdown. Seriously. And I can't stop it. I'm trying, but he just ignores me. He's up to his eyeballs in local school council crap, crappy job, and our future in crappy diapers. I don't remember him ever being this busy in his life. I think he's not that use to it. This is the first time in his life where he's had to rely on his calendar! It's taking a toll on the poor guy. Add all the stress of having a baby and BAM! insane hubby. He sees his weekdays full and most of his weekends full as well. He's just overwhelmed. AND he doesn't know how to deal with it. Me, I get overwhelmed a lot, but I know to kick back and ignore it for just a small amount of time and then get back on the horse. I wish I knew how to make him just relax. I know that he falls asleep thining and planning and wakes up thinking and planning.

So...I'm plotting a night away from the apartment. Stay at a hotel. Kidnap him, if you will. Hopefully that will help a lil bit. If not, I may have to resort to tying him up and locking him in the bedroom for a few days without a phone.
