Husband Under Stress

With less that two weeks before my hubby has to get his book to the publisher and the stress is at a high point.

He is currently drawing a picture for the book as he could not find one that was suitable. I have to say that he is a very good illustrator. Pic below.

We have spent quite a long time now sorting out photos for this book. Some are going to cost us quite a bit of money to use but the book needs them so needs must and all that.

The photos that we could take ourselves have all been done and I will get a few credits in this book, yay me. But others we have to pay for. I think after this book is done I will join one of these sites and put my photos up and hopefully get some money for my efforts.

Anyway back to a stressed hubby. I have notested that he has a very short fuse at the moment and I'm just trying to keep the children from getting in his way as they play. The children love playing round the house making as much noise as they can, even this gets on my nerves sometimes and with the book so near to being finished.
This is not a good time for them to be running round the house screeming.

I know when he tells them off for this he doesn't mean it but they don't seem to realise this. But they do love him and he will always read them bedtime stories every night.
And our daughter will only be bathed by him. She refusses to be bathed by me at the moment :( not sure why but she won't.

We just have two more weeks and it will be all done. Well the first draft will be. He will be sent a proof of the book to go through and make any changes to it. So it will be stress again.

His work is not helping his mood much. He hates his job and only sticks with it so we can pay the bills. I think he is hoping that he will get made redundent then he can look for new work near home instead of 45mins away by car. It would be quicker but having to travel in the rush hour it takes longer.

I do try to help as much as I can but there is only so much I can do for him. I wish I could do more.
