My hubby and I have been sharing shifts together since July for this really nice moslem guy. We know him from the masjid.Anyways in all the time i have worked i have never been late.. mostly early but never late.

I have to be there at 5am to open.. so last night we had to run to the store for diapers, wipes, and formula because both of us has been so busy with little time for me to go to the store because he takes the car and we were running low.. so we went to the store at 10pm.. i planned on going to bed early, showered, and everything.. we were in the store an hr and a half.. when i got home and put everything away Yousef started crying i changed him and fed him and by the time i laid my head down it was 12:45.. and i couldnt sleep.. i kept looking at my phone checking the time.. and i must have went to sleep around 1:30 or so because last time i checked the time it was 1:15.. so i slept.. btu had a bad dream and woke up at 3am.. i went back to bed 3:30 (my alarm set to 4:30 because work is close) and i never heard it.. i slept til 6:30 i wake up to my phone ringing.. OMG i was late!!

Hubby jumped out of bed and we rushed to get ready (he has to take me because i work 5-12 and he works 12-4) and we and we share 1 car.. so i was freaking out thinking he was going to yell and maybe fire me.. and nothing.. he was silent when i went into work. he didnt say anything to me.. later he called to check how things were.. he calls 3-4 times in my shift.. and then i asked him if he wanted to talk about anything.. talk about what ?? he asked.. theres nothing to talk about you were late.. and it only happened once and i hope it doesnt happen again.. i then find out everyone.. including my husband has been late (hr or more) to work 3-4 times at least and it doesnt bother him too much but Alhamdulilah i still have a job..

I felt so terrible and i will never be late again.. i dont care what everyone else is doing..its not right to take advantage of someone who relies on you and gives you a job when there arnt many jobs to be had with the economy the way it is..

I then find out he thought it was "women problems" and thats why he didnt yell or ask me anything and also why he didnt want to talk about it..I think its so funny.. i am late and i get "special" treament because it might be "women" problems?? too funny..i wish my husband was more like that.. i could be dying in bed with cramps and he would insist it is not that bad.. and compares me to the women in HIS family.. (mother, sisters) he doesnt understand all women are different.. anyways am happy.. got some extra sleep.. but i plan on going to bed early because i have been so worn out..i havnt had a break.. just work, home (cleaning cooking, kids) work repeat..

I hope Inshallah one day it will be easier.. i really miss spending time with my kids.. i really miss sleeping in.. i miss being at home.. (where i feel I belong)

I am a night owl:

Redbull doesnt just give you wings but makes you bounce off walls!!


i love staying up all night and sleeping during the day only problem is i have to be at work at 6am.. and up by 4:30.. i drank some redbull about 9:30pm and now i'm bouncing off the walls trying to get everything done that needs to be done for the week because Maj has a 3 day weekend coming up and i dont work weekends so i dont want to waste time organizing when we can be spending time together.. i cant sleep.. so im going to keep working until all of it is done.. still havr to organize our walk-in closet and all of Yousef's clothes.. then i can relax because when i go tot bed the next few nights inshallah wont have to worry about all the extra stuff i didnt have time to do last week.. so excited for this weekend.. Inshallah its going to be a good one
