Have To Vent

[Beachbum 70]

I have 3 small children - ages 4, 3, and 9 months. I work in education and am off for the summer. I am up and literally running around starting at 5:30am until 8:30 or whenever the kids crash. Trying to get a good walk or any kind of meaningful exercise with them is a joke. We take a walk and they stop every two feet to look at bugs. I have to wait until they go to bed and my husband gets home from work to go out and walk. For the 3rd night in a row, I get a call from him saying he'll be late. By the time he rolls in, it's after 10:30 and I'm too exhausted to go for a power walk. Monday it was errands, last night he stopped at the gym to splash around in the hot tub because his back was sore, tonight its the street near his office was flooded so he is waiting for the clean up. I'm so aggravated!!!!! Exercise is a huge part of this and all he has to do is get home before 9pm. My mother in law does help with the kids a couple of days a week but i use that time to grocery shop, prepare food, clean, etc. I just had to blow off before I scream

I am sorry to hear you are having this issue. I am so afraid that I am going to run in to this same thing with my hubby! His 2 1/2 year old lives with us and I have to be up and getting everyone moving by 530am....then i go to work...then home to do the daily routine..(cook, laundry baths etc) .he doesnt want me to go exercies until the little one is asleep...which is 8pm, I am starting back to school (as a student myself) and will have to do my online classes.... arrrghhhh... I feel your pain!!! I go to bed about 11pm....up between 5-530am.

I need about 6 more hours in each a day!!
