Plackowska then told police she was angry with her husband because he was gone most days working as a truck driver and did not appreciate her.
Plackowska's next court hearing is scheduled for March 22.
If convicted, she faces a mandatory sentence of natural life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to the DuPage County State's Attorney.
