So, long story short, we've found ourselves with 4 kids and a 3-kid car.
Finances just haven't worked out to get a bigger vehicle.
So, we have a nice winter storm going, cloudy and a bit depressing in and of itself; but on top of that I'm just 10 days out from having given birth, stuck at home with 3 very energetic kids and a newborn.
:
Trying to stay on top of my moods here, but between the post-partum hormones and lack of sleep is becoming increasingly difficult. Not to mention the fact that DH owns a business and is gone for up to 14 hours a day!
Of course it doesn't help that it starts to get dark at around 3 in the afternoon either
I'm finding myself yelling at the kids (especially DS1, he's my little firecracker
) way too often, the boys get so dang wound up, and then end up crying because they've hurt themselves, or DD is bawling because DS1 is using her for a punching bag, etc. etc...........
Anyway, anybody else experiencing cabin fever this winter?
(I don't mind DDC crashers, just didn't know where else to put this
)

Even if I'm 2 weeks PP, 1 week PP he has to "see the opening of this hotel" no matter what. I have no friends near me (we moved here a few months ago from the other coast) and his family isn't close (1.5 hours away) and mine is in TX. Even if his were willing to come they can't b/c they work during the week. I dread that week and I'm scared of it 
I'm in a similar situation. I was in hibernation mode for at least 2 weeks before delivery. No I'm ready to go out and get stuff done, but we are sharing a car. plus I'm afraid to take the baby out this time of year around all the grems 
:
: Snow started Friday and now it's Saturday night. I would love to get out but the roads are so bad I worry if I go into labor I won't get back home and what not. No way can I stay in tomorrow..and then again Monday. I will lose my mind! At least the kids were out in the snow today and here and there. I feel better if they can get out and awful if they are inside too much, too long for them. It makes me even more sad. I can't wait till the snow is gone!
