In a funk

I am stressed to the max at work. I had hoped when I changed firms that I would have better control over my hours. It started out that way, but now I am just as busy as I was at my old firm.

DH is not helping. He is super busy at work, too, and I know its stress, but he keeps snarking at me. And then he gets all huffy when I call him out on it. And he lays on the guilt whenever I work late. Instead of working together, we working against each other, which just adds to the stress.

And one of my kids has been extra bratty lately. I told her this morning that she was lucky that I was one of those parents who don't believe in beating children.

I need a vacation, and that's not happening anytime soon. I'm looking at booking a cruise for just DH and me in late November, but right at this moment I don't feel like spending a week alone with him in a tiny cabin.
