So last night my husband went out drinking with his friends... fine... He said he'd only have a couple beers and be home by 1 or 2... Well, he rolled in around 7 this morning puking his brains out. He was obviously hungover from WAY more than 2 beers... It's noon now and he's asleep on the bathroom floor. I just want to go in there and kick him in the face.

I woke up this morning with horrible chest pains... I had to get my 2.5 year old all packed up and we ran to the ER. We spent 3 hours there and I found out I have a tumor on my thyroid. Aidan was a terror... and I bet DH has no idea that all this went on. I have to go back in on Monday so they can stick a needle in my neck and find out if it's malignent or not... I'm so scared and I have to pee but there's a drunk man on the floor of my damn bathroom.

OH and in the middle of this... the place I've been trying to get a job interview at for WEEKS called this morning and I didn't look at the caller ID before I answered the phone and probably made a HORRIBLE first impression... he said I can call him back when I get things under control but I'm SO afraid I blew it... UGH

My son won't go down for his nap either... I feel like running away.. today is the worst day ever AND my whole house smells like barf and I can't leave because Aidan needs a nap and I doubt if he wakes up while I'm gone that Hubby will be in any state to care for him... ARGHHHH

OMG you do need a hug
I'm so sorry val-I'll be praying for you to get good news back, an understanding future employer, and a babysitter soon so you can have a much needed break
I know it's probably just as stressful to feel like you don't have support from him as it is to have this going on at all. I hate men sometimes, my own husband included.

Geesh, you do need a hug!!! What a crazy day you've had already!

1) Husband - a little inconsiderate to not only come home the way he did (hope a friend drove him home!), but not to let you know. I'd be just as mad, if not worse... (I'm Irish - Hehe!) When he wakes up and comes to his senses I'd give him a talking to!!

2) Thyroid - I'm so sorry! I'm so glad that you listened to your body and went! Hopefully all goes smoothly on Monday! Keep us posted on that!

3) Job - Don't count yourself out yet! I'm sure he's phoned other people and gotten worse then what you gave him... just phone him back, and see how it goes!

Is there someone that can watch Aiden for you for like an hour or so while you just take a breather? A friend? Family member?

Feel free to come here and vent away! (((HUGS)))

[ValRock]

Thanks for the hugs and encouragement ladies!

Lots of progress in the last 45 minutes . DS is in bed *crossing fingers* asleep. I've managed to carry (drag) all 215lbs of my husband down the hall and deposit him in bed. I called employer back and he was REALLY cool about the situation and set up an interview for tommorow at noon! so yay! I need to go eat some lunch... and watch some garbage television for a while .

[amb_lyn]

Oh wow Val! You have had a helluva day so far! Hope it gets better & I hope DH learns a hard lesson and feels like an *** for doing what he did!! How would he feel if the situation was reversed?

I hope the tumor is benign!!! Take Care!

[lovethatsara]

*hugs* I'm sure he's going to feel like a complete *** once he wakes up and gets over that hang over. *big big big hugs* I'm so sorry about the tumor. My sister has a brain tumor and has had it since birth, its not cancerous, but they cant get rid of all of it because its on her brain stem. Keep us all posted okay?
*hugs some more* good luck with interview

[Canadian_Mickey]

Yay! I'm so glad things are looking up now... well sort of!!! Good luck with the interview! I hope it goes really well for you!

[Kadjah]

Sorry you'r days sucked, but I'm glad it's at least getting better. I'd say husband owes you a day off, or something.
btw my son's name is Aiden. hehehe

[britomart]

Val!

I'm so sorry to hear about all that. One thing at a time is bad enough, but you got a little overloaded there! I hope your husband realizes what a jerk he was... You already have ONE little boy to take care of, you don't need TWO! And we'll all be here hoping the news Monday is good.... Keep us posted... And never feel afraid to vent!!

[martiniforme]

I'm really glad you snagged that interview! Sometimes being very direct in explaining yourself helps, I've found.

As for the tumor, my fingers, toes, and heart are all crossed for you. Even my prayers, too!

I'd like to share a funny story with you in hopes that it might make you smile...

A few years back, when (soontobe)DH turned 23 (26 now), he went out to the bar with all of his friends. I ended up at the same place, having moderate drinks with a couple of my girlfriends.
As the night wore on, I noticed he wasn't around. So I approached his friends, and asked where he was. I was informed that he "might be" on the bathroom floor. I figured if he was on the floor, he could probably use some help. As I was approaching the bathroom, a bouncer stopped me to inform me that I could not enter. Well, I was starting to get pretty pissed at this time, so I ended up just pushing him aside, and growling something about my boyfriend on the bathroom floor. I found him passed out on the floor. The bouncer helped me carry him out of the bathroom, and left him with me. I looked around, and could find NONE of his friends kicking around. So I ended up helping him (half passed out) out of the bar, where we hailed a cab.
He ended up barfing in my purse, all over my wallet and cell phone. Eventually the cab driver stopped, got a plastic bag from the trunk, and came back. I'm just glad he didn't kick us out of the cab. When we got home, (soontobe)DH was passed completely out. I lifted him on to my back, carried him down 2 flights of stairs, in the bathroom where I promptly stripped him bare naked, deposited him in the shower, turned on the water full blast, cold of course, and went to bed.

I can still hear the screams now when I think about it. I thought it was hilarious the next day when I wasn't mad anymore.. him? Not so much. haha.

Good luck, hun!

[RememberHowToSmile]

I hope your day got better. Guys can be so insensitive sometimes. I sure hope you gave your husband a talking to when he sobered up. Good luck on the job interview tomorrow and when you have the test on Monday. Let us know how everything goes I’m sure you will be in everyone’s thoughts and prayers.

[ValRock]

Thanks ladies for the kind words (and funny story ). He let me take a nap, which I needed desperately, when he got up... so I sort of forgive him. I'm nervous about my interview today!! The iron is heating up to press my shirt... sheesh i haven't had to do that in ages! haha

[britomart]

You'll do great, Val! Let us know how it goes we're cheering for you!!

[Jasmine31]

Just ran into give ya a I would of been over the top angry so you are actually handling this very well! Does he do this often?

[FaeReverie]

I hope the interview went well! And I'm sorry to hear about the **** day, and I hope you're ok.

Remember, we're here for you dahlink!
