I think my pregnant hormones are on a freak out right now
I just feel so irrational and cranky and nasty. I'm uncomfortable, I'm tired, I have to pee every 5 freaking minutes, everyone is driving me BONKERS and my poor daughter is constantly getting yelled at by me right now.

I feel kind of out of control, frankly, which is freaking me out even more because it is so not me.

Anyone else? How do I get out of this funk, other than getting this baby out of me?

I'm tired, I'm sore and I want to get so much more done than I actually can. It all makes me a little nasty to be around. I try not to be cranky, but I'm on the losing end of that battle more often than not.
It probably doesn't help that I feel like I get no time to "play" because I'm the one responsible for getting the kids to bed and cleaning up after supper etc etc etc ad infinitum (at least it seems never ending). And there are certain things that I do which I consider "work" but DH seems to think are "play" for me.

I want to go kick his arse out of bed so I can crawl back in.

Completely crazy!
I think I'm freaking out poor dh. It's a good thing this is a temporary condition. And I'm really hoping I can keep my mom away until after baby comes. I can't be responsible for anything I may say or do to her till then!
And I'm yelling at my poor kids too much too. It makes me feel horrible, which I think then increases my craziness. What an icky cycle.
You're not alone

to everyone of us!

I just went to Home Depot and bought stuff for the garden. I'm hoping that by getting out there today and this weekend (we're finally getting good weather!) that my mood will improve. Maybe taking out my frustration on some weeds will keep me from hurting my family

crazy p'od at the world is how I feel.
Everyone/everything is bugging me at the moment and I still have 5 weeks.

I would pity the people around me but I am too busy being annoyed at everything they do and say!


Sadly avoiding human contact is out of the question I guess.

You can put me down for having a case of the crazies.
Today for example, DH is on shift so I'm alone for the next 48 hours and so I get really lonely... I'm just trying to sleep alot. My mom called me at noonish to see how I was but when she realized she woke me up she said she would call me back in a half hour after her Dr. apt.
Well I couldnt fall asleep again so I just waited around messing around on the comp, after 45 min of not hearing from her I call no asnwer I call 15 min later no answer and like another 10 min after that so I give up. Finally she just called me back and was like "oh sorry I forgot"
So now I'm bawling because I hate being forgotten, and she did the same thing yesterday, and Im just loney and don't feel well and UGH! I'm tired of being so emotional over stupid stuff! I'm so clingy and needy right now its not even funny...

It was great when we were moving into our new house b/c then I had all these projects I could throw myself into. Scrubbing a vacant kitchen uses up a lot of negative energy. Why can't it be the same with my own dirt?
Wish I could work in the yard. I just hurt so dang bad when I do.
Gotta find something.

YES! I am not a cryer, and on Sunday I cried twice in the same day in front of everyone ... totally freaked the kids out. Why was I crying? Well, first because I couldn't find my Costco card (tragedy, right?) and then because once I finally got to Costco, bought a chicken alfredo casserole, put it in the oven to cook, then put it on the counter to cool ... and when I went to serve it, I dropped the whole thing on the floor. OK, that one was worth crying over.

Yup, had an episode of craaaazy last night after dinner. Hubby went back to work (in the basement/shop) and my ds (who was an angel all day) decided to turn into satan. He spat milk all over the couch, drew all over himself with markers, and dumped all of my good expensive salad dressing on the table. I shrieked at him, stomped my feet, and ran upstairs and dove under the covers.

My DH came up and brought him down with him so that I could do the dishes in peace. It was really embaressing that I flew off the handle like that.

I want to do that nearly every day. I envy that you've actually done it.

Me. I have no motivation to do anything, which makes me feel horrendously guilty for my other two kids. I sob at the drop of a hat, including when I dropped a jar of salsa and it exploded all over my kitchen and basement and when my van had a flat tire.

Don't you just love when they go from angel to devil in a split second?


Thank God DP is finally home from work! He was gone since Monday because of work issues, and DD was a pill about it. I know she loves him and missed him terribly, but the sobbing for daddy stuff was starting to wear me out.
Maybe I can get a break this weekend from being mommy and go get a pedicure or something. That would be a miracle, lol.
