Mommy needs a night off...that's all I'm asking for

So, I've been busy lately, which isn't unusal. But, its been fun busy with LH and trying to give Hubby the time and quiet he needs to catch up on sleep. He's been running crazy every morning this week with meetings at work, funerals, getting his car fixed, etc. so I've been keeping LH entertained and wearing him out as much as possible (movies, pool time, dinner out). NOW, that comes with not being home as much, so not cooking dinner or doing much (read: anything) around the house, but still, it's nice and quiet!! I have Thursday and Friday to get housework/laundry done! I'm not concerned.
Well, I asked Hubby to pick up Little Hauss today from preschool so I could have happy hour with the girls (to celebrate summer, a birthday, whatever....just a couple of hours of me time), and I got blamed for him not being able to work out and sleep much!!!!! WHAT??? I didn't schedule a funeral and 2 meetings at work???? But yet, its still my fault. Mind you I had already offered to have a friend pick LH up and bring him home later but he insisted on getting him!
I got irritated...imagine that, and pretty much told him that I would take care of it and tomorrow when we are supposed to take LH to the local fair (yes, I'm certifiable) and he could work out and sleep all he wanted and wouldn't have to spend anytime with us the entire week! I just feel like I can't do it all...I just need a break...2 hours..that's it! Grrr!

I'm not the only one

Apparently, there are 5,999 other unhappy co-op owners waiting on their produce as well. Hubby came home this morning to share that the local paper had a big article about the farm that sold all the co-ops and couldn't deliver!
I looked it up as soon as I could and was shocked to discover that they sold 6,000 shares this year! Obviously they got in over their heads and they can't keep up. I hope they are happy with their new found fortune of $210,000!!! Myabe it was a planned thing...rip everyone off and just run off with the money!?!? Who knows.
Either way, the article said they tried to contact the owners and got no response....imagine that? IF they ever show up at the local stand I'll see about getting some veggies since I'm obviously not getting a refund (as they have not responded to my email nor answered any call in the past week) but if not, then I'll just write it off as a lesson learned. I have wasted about that much in gas and time wondering around downtown for a parking space so from now on, I'll just get what I can if I can and support the other farmers instead!
Come to find out co-ops usually are sold in limited shares per year and for a couple hundred dollars each....buyer beware I guess!
