She's fussy, gotta run. |
Seems like everyone's in the same boat here!

Which also reminds me that last night he pulled DH's shirt down and tried to latch on sort of - he would put his mouth on the nipple, laugh, and repeat I'm not sure if he was hoping to get somethign or just making a joke

Ugh, girls, I'm having a rough time! I'm still sick, and Evangeline got up 3 times again last night, I'm sosoo tired I'm going to actually have a nap today! And not until she settles down, though. Axel has been a hellion too- he peed in his pants 2 x today, and every single time I ask/need him to do something it's a struggle- either plain old ignoring, defiance, running away, doing something else or 'in a minute!'. He gets crabby and whiney too when he doens't nap, and it drives me insane. I feel like I don't geta true break. I can't keep up with the house and I have no freaking desire to. Sometimes when Axel doesn't listen I get madder than I want to, and then that gets frusterating. I'm so tired. The house is a mess, even though the cleaner came on Sunday. Painting hasn't being going well, I'm frusterated, and can't get into it, and I'm sick of having people over at my house every day (co-op student and friend) and the pressure that goes a long with that. I spent too much $$ on diapers and I'm pissed about that bad decision becuase I've spent 40 in shpping for 3 diapers, I haven't even received them yet. I missed Evangeline's appt today :, that's 2 missed appts the last couple months! I feel disconnected, and like I waste half the day. Ok, i obviously need more sleep. I don't know- like what is my problem?! I love being a mom, and right now I'm not enjoying anything, I feel moody and frusterated and tired. I don't want to join this club (the frusterated overtired mommy club)!A  :that doesn't even feel better! |
gah! I just had one of those days too. I actually ran out the door and came to the library as soon as dp got home. I couldn't spend one more minute with either of my children
:. Finn was a monster today right from the get go and Arlo was whining all. day. long., just so we could bitch together! As it stands, I only have 6 minutes left online so I must go and answer emails. Plus I probably should go and nurse the baby. What I really want to do is go for a beer and a smoke (I don't smoke anymore, but I used to, and I want one right now
). Alright, I miss you guys! I'll have internet next Tuesday, so try and slow down a bit so I don't have so many pages to read!! Johnny is waking like crazy too...and I'm so impressed by all of you with babies and toddlers!
that made me laugh!|

Try 6-7 times, yep Romi's there too. It makes for a grumpy mama. And my house is a mess too, I don't cook anymore, or when I do, it's huge accomplishment for me and I feel as if dh should be kissing my feet for it, but he's ignorant and just says thanks I have no energy to neaten up, when romi sleeps, all I want to do is R.E.L.A.X.As for diapers: I know. You got sucked into the GM craze : Stay away from DS!!! So I should just offer  and keep my big mouth shut. |
:big time. they had better be worth it! I actually do need to stay away from ds. it's like a big black hole. I'm limiting myself to evening- I HAVE everything I need! but she IS growing out of her fitteds. and I DO need to sell some....
: Tonight was my 4th Weight Watchers mtg and DH was supposed to watch Scout, but had to work late so I had to take her with me AND take her to church choir practice (which I really don't want to be a part of, but am obligated for various reasons 
. Keeping her occupied and happy at both meetings was exhausting. My legs and back ache from slinging her and being on my feet for the last hour and a half. If DH would've gotten an earlier start today, I bet he could've been home to take care of Scout. But he was goofing off with his new toy (a motorized scooter) this morning instead. I don't think he realizes how exhausted I am. But if I complain at all, he plays the card that I'M the one who had been wanting a baby for so long and finally talked him into it. He says it half-jokingly, but if makes me so made because it's just like saying, "Well, I didn't want her, why should I have to take care of her??" I know he loves his daughter soooo much and doesn't really feel that way. But I just feel very alone when it comes to parenting duties. I also feel like I have no right to complain because he IS the bread-winner and I feel blessed that I get to stay at home. He's so tired after work and I just can't bring myself to nag him into being an active parent, kwim?

The inseam is fine, but the rise? Forget it. I see like 2 inches of diaper above the waistband... The girl has a looooong torso. So these will fund the next pair. That's what's great about crankies, they don't lose value

Being a mom is a hard, ungrateful job. So I don't feel sorry that dh goes to work and his tired. I'm way more tired than he could ever be!

: She takes it personally that we are doing things pretty much opposite the way she did things. Like I need more things to stress about....motherhood is stressful enough! Sigh.
