So I'm gracefully walking on eggshells and doing all the house work type stuff.<br /><br />And you're right, I keep thinking that in just a few weeks, it will all be over for me, and I keep forgetting that HE is going to need things when it's all over too. And those things are probably not going to be doing the dishes or laundry or fixing the cabinet door :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465642626648012553.post-27471382640613967632012-01-19T13:04:10.058-05:002012-01-19T13:04:10.058-05:00Thank goodness I found this....I thought I was the...Thank goodness I found this....I thought I was the only one going through this nightmare! My husband has 6 weeks left of studying and he's actually moved out to study in order to be completely focused. I knew it was gonna b hard but not THIS hard. The loneliness is the worst part. Our two year old keeps me busy through the day, but at night...there's nothing. And I crave adult conversation that doesn't include words like bar, test, study and sacrifice. Bleh!!!!

Its hard to put yourself in their shoes (especially when i'm working my butt off to pay the bills and keep the house in order) but it is a struggle for him too. Thank you! I think this will make our next 18 days much smoother!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3465642626648012553.post-82482181183942674162008-03-31T15:38:42.000-04:002008-03-31T15:38:42.000-04:00[...] the posts they yielded: “bar pickup for wife...[...] the posts they yielded: “bar pickup for wife” — Led this poor lonely googler to this post about watching my husband study for the bar exam.

Right now I'm feeling stressed at picking up more of the slack because Aaron was reassigned in his agency and his hours shifted to 9-6, meaning I'm now completely in charge of dinner and getting the girls ready for bed.

Somedays i agonize over whether or not to say anything...like this morning. After getting up and leaving the house at 5:fing30 in the morning to get groceries (not taking the kids is worth sacrificing the sleep) and coming home at 7 to find my bar study-er husband still ASLEEP in bed when he should have been up and dressed and nose buried in a book was FRUSTRATING! But, as you explained, i buried this one in the complaint bag and bit my tongue. I have trained a small voice in my head to talk me down when needed. This morning the little voice said things like "he's obviously tired and needed the sleep. he can't be expected to have any quality study time if he can't keep his eyes open and brain working. he needs a little break to recharge and re-energize...yadda yadda yadda." However, this morning, another little voice was talking too....it said "what the f*%# is this shit? I need a damned break too, but the demands of kids and house and life along with picking up the slack for an absentee husband doesn't allow it! For pete's sake, I am grocery shopping in the dead of night while you are still SLEEPING!!! If I can do it, so can you so get the F*%# out of bed!!" (Obviously this little voice cusses like a sailor). Anyhow, my challenge over the next 21 days will be to subdue this other little character in my head....which brings me to a legal question...I wonder if you can sue the bar association for mental health problems??? I swear I didn't have dueling voices in my head before he started to study for the bar!<br><br>Anyway, thanks for the laugh this morning. It's funny b/c of your very witty sense of humor....but also b/c its all true!Kelley Reednoreply@blogger.com
