So there is no real point to what I have started just need a little venting. So bear with me please! Also nothing too important so don't feel obligated to read.
For some reason I am just feeling very anxious and uptight today (my husband has been telling me that I have been uptight for around 3 days but what does he really know anyway). It's not that time of the month and school started so what is really the problem. I know one thing for sure. I watched my friends 2 boys today so she could go to an appointment in Vegas. They are adorable and Frankie has a blast with them, but I ran a few errands and listened to them whine and scream for too many hours. You can imagine twice the noise as I already have, any how. She dropped them off at 8:30 this morning, around 12:15 I get a phone call thinking she was done and telling me she was on her way home. I knew she still had the drive but at least end was in sight. Well she was in deed on her way but... She never even went to Vegas, yep 4 hours later. I am sorry but that really really bugged me. Probably because so much is bugging me right now anyway. Here are a few other things that come mind
I am in well need of a vacation. Either by myself with friends or with my husband I wouldn't complain about any of those.
It's almost my birthday and I am afraid to say that I am going to be 29
My son, that could be a whole other post in it's self. But the things that are really agitating lately are, he sleeps in my bed. I know you can all say it is my own fault and I take more than enough blame for that, but I am sick of it. I hate having to get creative to spend some "quality time" with my husband. He works until dark anyway so it truly is the only time I see him. More than half the time we fall asleep before him anyway. UGH! Plus Frankie is SO LOUD. I don't think I can hear one more loud scream or whine out of him.
I am really sick of the heat. I am so ready for fall and winter.
Okay so I may be ready for winter but I am not ready for this. Frankie turns three in 2 months and Christmas is in almost 4. Sorry to stop your hearts for that brief second. It scares me. Why does it have to be so expensive that is my only question? I love it and I love it when it's over but it sure causes stress every minute in between.
My daughter. I swear all I ever hear from her is arguing with Frankie, begging to go play or use the phone, whining and complaining. ie. I am hungry, when are we going to eat, my toe, arm, finger, nose, head, freaking I think everything on her body hurts. Why?
Cooking dinner. I like to cook but it is really hard to cook when your husband isn't home for dinner and you are only cooking for yourself and two kids. Seriously how much food can I really waste. Hate to admit it but we really dislike left overs. But I am so sick of frozen easy dinners and I am really bad at cooking the correct amount of portions so there are no left overs.
Potty training...nuff said
Wow I just read through my post and I can't imagine why my kids complain so much. ha ha I am such a great example, thanks for listening and letting me vent. I shall not be depressing to you any more.
Bye for now. (comments and advice still please!) I need them.

Oh boy sista! I am so sorry for the stresses of your life. I'd be complainin too (just so you know). I sometimes feel like I was not cut out to be a mommy and I only have 1! There are days wehre I feel I could have 5 kids and days where I thing to myself, Gab'll be an only child fo sho! I just don't know why we let stress build and then make us crazy. I would be SOOOO bugged if my friend didn't end up going to vegas!! Ewwww.
Also, I can't handle the whinning either-does it ever stop? Yikes.
I am obviously no help but I do have one thing to say, YOU DO NEED A VACA with your hubby! big time!
I don't know what to tell you about Frankie sleeping with you....Yea, your fault. I do know someone who honestly changed the lock to the outside of their 2 year old girls room and locked her in for bedtime every night....Yikes....YOu could try it for a week? I think you should just go lay by him every night at his bedtime in his bed then gradually lay by him less and less time. Do stories every night after he is used to sleeping in his room??? I am terrible with advice!! Therefore, i am a sucky friend!
CALL ME TOMORROW.
Oh man you sound like me. It must be in the air. Yikes! I think mine is from just having a baby though. You know how that goes after working for Dr. Peterson. My 2 yr. old is killing me though! I swear he just tries to be as naughty as possible. I just take 1 day at a time. If you find any answers let me know! Good luck!
COME VISIT ME!!!
Let me tend for you and you CAN go to Vegas! Also, I think there is something in the air-August is HOT and HELLISH! Everyone I know is on edge and irritable.
It's only 4 more hours past Vegas, COME VISIT ME!!!
Ok we both know that won't happen so I will come visit you. I think I am coming on Sept. 21 and staying through the 24. Ya!

I have been in the same funk...that is why Dave started calling me Eor (sp) from Winnie the Pooh "Thanks for noticin." Anyway, my super cute good friend gave me this book called "A Joyful Mother of Children" Okay, I am not usually one to read these little self-help books besides Supernanny....but I can honestly say I feel human again and realize that motherhood is a challenge and somedays, it just sucks....but seriously (and I know you know this) that it is the most rewarding. GO GET THE BOOK at Deseret Book! I promise you will not regret it. It made me realize so much..in fact you have inspired me to do a post on it. Stay tuned and turn that chin chinny chin up! I just love your guts and wish you lived closer!
