my oldest son was up last night with an ear ache.

woke up today with a ruptured ear drum.

hmmmm

what is it about my kids and ears?

they just don't seem to gel!

I should have had earless kids!

Is it sad Im excited I ionly have about 10 hours left before bedtime. This week feels very much like Basic training where you dont measure time in days, but in meals.

If only I can make it to lunch, if only I can make it to dinner. etc.

My kids are actually very well behaved today. However Raym woke up at 6.
Monday I have a doc appt for scott and I have to babysit for someone.

This house is trashed and must be cleaned by then. Maybe Ill work on that after the kids are in bed.

Sonya, you I totally noticed your guru status, lol. How cool!!!

Best thing about the weekends is not having to do everything alone. I am worn out and fed up lately, and I am glad to just have another set of hands around, even when that extra set of hands is also on my list lately too.

Also, I like having a big breakfast once a week. This morning we had waffles and sausage. It was good!

Sara-your kids are adorable!! I can't believe they are all so big. You should post pics more often.

I am done with my kids. Seriously. ALL EFFING morning, they cried and fought non stop. Kate was obviously EXHAUSTED. But they WILL NOT FREAKING NAP. If you would like to post to me that I am lucky my kids still nap at their ages,I will ask that you please not. The major point is that the went from kids who napped pretty much everyday...because they NEED the sleep...to kids who don't nap AT ALL and don't get an extra 2 hours of sleep at night to make up for it. Their behavior is HORRIBLE and I am at the end of my rope-seriously.

Bill went out to the brew store, but when he gets back, my ass is gone. I need to be away from them before I send them packing.

In relation to my previous post and the obvious rage I am feeling, I must say, I am pretty sure I have PMDD. I have been tracking things, and it adds up.

I KNOW the doc will say to go back on BCP. I don't mind that for a couple of months to see if that can regulate things for me, but I am not willing to do that for a long term fix. And I know that I was fine before being on steroids. My body is obviously still out of wack, and I need to get to the root of that problem.

I hate myself right now-I am horrible to be around-even for myself.

Bill is also on my last nerve lately. We are in one of these phases-basically, anything that *I* need done is at the bottom of his list, and I have to BEG him to help me do anything, and then he gets pissy with me for making him do stuff he doesn't want. I have been trying for WEEKS to get the front garden done, but there are aspects of it that I need him to do, and he just will not get them done. I am so frustrated with him. And while I have handled it ok, this week (see PMDD post) I am not taking it. He needs to buck up and get this shit done.

ARGH. I think I need to get away from all of them.

Oh and I think I have a computer virus. My keyboard is wack and some of the letters stick some and I am having trouble with attaching pics and such...IDK-but I am thinking maybe I need to get a MAC next time.

Minus the PMDD I could have written this! Hugs to you though!

I don't understand what it is but its like they think that b/c we can handle two kids all week long for hours on end we somehow don't mind the fact that they won't help. I told DH that I understood he works 40+ hours a week outside of the house but the fact is that he still lives here too and needs to do his part as well. I don't care if its cleaning the kitchen after dinner, running a load of laundry or whatever- just freaking do it.

I *finally* got most of the lawn mowed after weeks of not being mowed b/c the "yellow jackets were just so bad and swarmed every time the mower was running"... I did it myself. Just fine. No swarms. Har har.

But the yard doesn't look pretty. I'm pretty sure it looks like I mowed it drunk with my eyes blindfolded.

supa, sorry about the rage. itu though. i can say that it was SO hard for us when matt was working horribly long days and then also traveling. i just wanted HELP when he was home and he just wanted to rest.

so frustrating!

apies · Guru

oh and just to jump on the venting bandwagon, i'm home alone overnight with the kids. again.

matt is boating.

:sigh:

hey april,

you know the pink cup you tell em to put down in your f/b pledge of allegiance video??

is that really spill proof? it says so on the package and since you are letting her put it down on a white chair, i am assuming it is, but have been reluctant to buy that type b/c the top doesn't LOOK spill proof??

verdict??

this is exactly how things are around here. it is so frustrating. after literally seeing the same pile of beach stuff in front of the attic for three weeks, waiting for him to put it away, i just did it myself. of course, i am super resentful of that and am SURE it will come out in a fight at some point (most likely when he complains about how messy the attic is b/c i just threw it all up there). anywho, i can totally relate. why can't they just have the same priorities as we do?!!!

3s_a_crowd · Guru

3s_a_crowd · Guru

The boys are both napping and everyone has been bathed. 6 hours to go before bedtime for the kids.

I have no clue what IM giong to do for dinner. I hate cooking for just me

3s_a_crowd · Guru

yesterday there was a case sale at the commisarry. We spent waaay too much money buying things in bulk. Oh well I have enough spaghetti sauce to last 6 months now LOL.

sappy · Guru

i am alone tonight too. dan took jake, jake's friend, and my dad to the sox game. our neighbors came over today and gave us free tickets & parking. good seats too! i wanted to go but we have no babysitter. eh, they'll have more fun anyway. besides, the kids were up late last night and are going to bed early tonight.

apies · Guru

tracy, look here:

http://www.playtexproductsinc.com/infant/CupsByStage.asp

they are the coolster tumblers. they have the same rubber spill proof thingy as the spouted sippy cups by playtex, but these things NEVER leak.

my kids take them to school and they use them around the house. we only use open cups at the table.
