i love that my kids can dress themselves. i also love that overall, josie is awesome at picking out her own outfits and mostly matching.

i also love that I don't care what they wear to daycare.

i wish my house would hurry the hell up and sell.

i got a giant bonus at work (our yearly one) and all of it had to go to house expenses (flooring and home depot).

i'm glad we don't have that debt but man, it would have been nice to do something fun with that money.

Sonya, you are cracking me up this morning.

I have to work this weekend. I'm not exactly looking forward to it... it isn't as fun as working the holiday events like Christmas pics with Santa, or passing Halloween candy. This weekend is a huge arts society meeting, and we're running a picture booth. I am beyond hoping that these people aren't snobs. Joe's grandparents are members, so I'm not holding out a helluva lot of hope.

I hate the days I have to drive 30 minutes to get to Hannah's school. We have to get up so early, so I should really be getting ready, especially since I have to work today, too. But she's excited for school tomorrow - it's her half birthday celebration, that I told her was last month (and it should have been, but whatevs) and she thinks that's the coolest thing. I want to make half and half cupcakes (half pink, half purple, her fave colors) but theres a little girl with a ton of food allergies, so they have a list of only about 20 foods (specific brands and everything) that you can buy. Bugles are very birthday festive. cry.gif

Hiya!

Been to the gym. Estimated a carpet cleaning job. Load of laundry in. Nieces here for a couple of days. Doesn't that sound productive? If only.

Because I have started making our bread and Kaylin's, I now have bags of flour all over my counter with nowhere for them to go. I think I'll just fill ziplocs and find a bin for it all, but ugh, oh to have a bigger kitchen!!

Hi all!

I am a bit frustrated over here. I am trying not to be, but it is hard! Bill has done the best he can, and I know that. But the girls are off their rockers. He is so permissive with them, and then not having me around and everything-it is just ridiculous. They are getting to bed late everynight, Anna in particular has been sassy, not listening, bossy, etc. And Kate is peeing her pants every other day!!!! They are not cleaning up their toys, they are taking advantage of the fact that Bill lets them get away with things, etc.

It is driving me nuts. I am still so weak that I need to be sitting and resting most of the time, so I am trying to direct things, but it is hard. And now that I am home, Bill just sits and lets me bark orders, but he just plain sucks at the discipline. He says I am just more strict that he is-I guess that is true, but I just feel like all of our systems have been breaking down!! We have always had a pretty good routine, they know what to expect from me and what I expect from them, and with the bean jars and such, we really tend to keep things running smoothly.

Now it is all effed up.

Blah.

Again, I KNOW he is doing the best he can. He is not at all SAHD material, which he knows. And I should just be glad they are loved, cared for and all of that. I just hate feeling like what I *need* to focus on is me, but instead I am having to channel energy into getting them back on track.

Should I just give up and let things slide? I don't want to over stress and backtrack healthwise, but at the same time, I can't just sit by and listen while Anna backtalks to her father all the time, kwim?

Thoughts?

Honestly, I'm inclined to say let it slide and put your health first. But I am wondering if it is more stressful for you to sit and watch things go how they are going or to intervene. I would tell Bill that you will be a little more permissive at the moment but there are certain things that just can't be permitted. (i.e. talking back) Ugh, such a tough situation.

 ditto to this

I'd for sure let the housework and stuff like that slide, but I'd tell Bill the behavior stuff can't continue, because it'll only get worse, and that'll cause you more stress in the long run

I agree, Laura.

Let it slide. Try not to think about it. Your girls are not going to completely slide into chaos if you take the time to recover.

I know it is so hard but your health is more important than their behavior.
