Apparently God Has Heard My Prayers (or just misinterpreted my under-the-breath grumblings)
Okay. So I exaggerate. Perhaps it's just God in the form of the folks over at Harper Collins who read all the posts about my husband and sent me an advance reader's edition of this:
"How to laugh more, argue less, and communicate better as your family grows."
Seriously. Maybe I should start complaining about my fears of a slow, long, and painful labor. However, with my luck, I'll probably just get this book instead of drugs.
Hey guys!
We at Harper Collins are definitely taking note :)

I'm really liking that book. And I don't normally like books like that one.

I just got an ARC of that book too! I was all too ready to dismiss it, but you know it's got some REALLY GOOD stuff in it. Highly recommend.

Unless that book comes tied to a cinder block with which I can beat my beloved around the neck and shoulders, I do not think it's going to work. Good idea though.
(And never ever let them try giving you literature instead of drugs, Kristen. Like, EVER.)

holy fuck do i need that book. i think. let us know. (take note, Harper Collins..take note of MU's mighty power to persuade. And send her more stuff. k?)
one weekend with both kids at home, and huz and I are circling each other like prize fighters "you've had more "me time" no! YOU've had more me time"
Currently I am resenting him for painting the baby's room while I deal with both chillun. *I* would LOVE to escape into a quiet room and paint, but Oh No, I need to be on tap with the booobs. Gaaagh. What an asshole, huh? Roll on daycare tomorrow.

I got the advanced readers edition too and reviewed it on my blog. This book is definitely worth buying.

After commiserating with your stories about your inlaws, I found the perfect thing to solve your problems. Really! I found something in my husband's closet today, took a pic and posted it on my blog.
Go look. I could just imagine the reaction should you wear something like that. :P

The pain-meds-for-grouchy-spouses drugs that is. I'm not in labour, gah.

Yeah, I've been eyeballing that book. The drugs haven't worked.
