Soooooooo fed up

I've just had a crappy week. trying to pesach clean having 2 kids at home and being 6 months pregnant. It has taken me twice as long to do half as much as normal, I feel so unready and disorganised. Ifeel as if I've had to do it all myself this year because every night my husband comes home with yet more stuff to do for work.
Today, I have had all three kids at home and I'm ready to scream at someone and then I get a message from my husband that he's staying a bit late at work so he won't have to work tonight at home. Let's forget the fact that he went in to work an hour late this morning so he could go running, the fact that he was meant to be home to cut one of my kids hair tonight, that I actually needed him to get something today so I can finish the kitchen. I really needed him home early today. I needed him to leave the work until another day. I don't need him to come home and complain about how little I've got done today which I'm pretty sure he will.

I'm fed up of the running obsession and how it overrides everything else.  How if his running chug gets moved I have to find other times to go shopping and potentially not go swimming. He wants to change to a different chug so I'm going to have to change when I shop to a less convenient day, stop going swimming and generally change things to make it less convenient for me just to make sure that he can still go running when it suits him. He goes out running on  a Friday morning if he hasn't been out policing Thursday night and then spends Friday being tired  from his run after spending Thursday night wait for it....... working so either way he is not fully available either Thursday night or Friday morning.

But I'm the one who has to change has to change when I shop and swim so he can go running.

I asked my MIL if she wanted to come over today to see the kids (and potentially give me a hand with them whilst I did some cooking/cleaning) thinking she might like to actually see her grandchildren having flown out to Israel and only being out here for a couple of weeks but no we are apparently too far away to come and visit so she will wait until she is coming here next week to see them. Yes I feel as if my kids are far less important to her than her other grandchildren. It's a familiar pattern, in the winter she was out for 3 weeks, she spent 4 days with us and only came back afterwards to see us again because I actually asked her to come and see the kids again.
So then I wonder if I have done something wring that she doesn't want to spend time with me and my kids when she comes out here?

I think that's enough complaining for one day. hopefully I'll feel better later and if not............ I'll just suck it up and get on with life.

Here's hoping things get better soon.
