I just need to talk for a second. I need grown-ups to hear what I am saying, and possibly respond. As most of you know, I am surrounded by 3 year olds all day, LOL, and at points, I am in dire need of adult conversation. This is not a complaint, it’s more….wondering.
The past month has not been kind to me. I got pneumonia, the town flooded, and then (last weekend, just for fun) I wound up with an intestinal infection. Most likely a result of my “already compromised immune system”, I was told. I have had to work this whole time that I had pneumonia, because I don’t get sick days, and I can’t pay the mortgage if I don’t work. And of course, there is the job of being a mom- mom’s don’t get time off! Then, Monday night, my computer crashed. Making me even more behind. I had an “auto-post” that went up Tues, and some Tweets from my phone- but that was about it. I am posting tonight from a resuscitated laptop while my husband fixes the computer. The house is a hot mess, there is laundry that SO needs to be done, and I’m not even going to START on my non-existent diet and exercise lately. Then there is Kamikaze- we are still dealing with that incident(s) that I had mentioned a while back. Miss Thing brought some baggage with her when she was adopted, and sometimes I wonder if we will ever get past it all. All of us. Or if we should just start selling luggage? LOL.
I know things are not really that bad. You look at Japan, or watch the news and hear of a real tragedy, and I know it’s not really all that bad. So why must I be so whiney??? Oy! What’s the matter with me?
But in my own little world, in my own little mind…I just want to explode sometimes! And then I wonder- is it just me? I know I am not the only one (far from it!) that looks at myself and says “How did I get here?” But this past month has just pushed me to such a point. What’s that saying? “If it’s not something, it’s everything”? Haha.
I think it’s time for a little virtual drink. I don’t drink for in real life, but for those of you who do- man, have a glass of wine/beer/mixer of choice, and raise your glass to us mommies. It’s not easy, is it? C’mon already, April- get here, bring on the rain, and wash this awful month off of me! HA!
Thanks for listening. Sorry for whining. What can I say, the 3 year olds rubbed off on me, LOL.
Thanks ya’ll. Much love, and I really appreciate your words. I really needed to hear things from grown-ups today! LOL….
Oh Sam…what can I say except this too shall pass. I pray things will pick up soon. Big Hug
Seems like you have a lot going; things will get better. I also find myself craving adult talk because I’m with my toddler all day and the hubby gets home late.
The world comes crashing down when our husbands get sick but when we do? The show must go on. It’s just one of those unwritten rules. Like the law of gravity or something. I hope things look up for you. You deserve to whine every now and again, don’t beat yourself up!
Hang in there hon! Even MOMS needs a break sometimes. Even tho it seems like the world is caving in on you, It will all be better. Your followers sends all their love and support and remember you are not alone! Everything will be ok.
You can vent to me anytime! I just posted yesterday about some frustrations too. But you definitely got hit with a lot this past month. *hugs*
It sounds like you’ve had A LOT going on this month, so no wonder you need a virtual drink! I really hope everything gets better for you soon. Either pneumonia, flooding, a computer crash or an intestinal infection on its own would have my whining non-stop, so the fact that you managed to hold it all together after dealing with all four is pretty astounding!
It’s hard to be cheerful and perky when you can’t recover from one of life’s punches before the next one comes! It helps to vent:)
Jenny- I’m not a SAHM. I’m a Pre-K teacher, LOL. But 3 year olds are fun- in moderation 😉
20 of them can be deafening, hehehe.
Thanks! 🙂
3 year olds are fun! I’m a SAHM also. Mine gets up early, doesn’t take a nap, and stays up late. My husband isn’t home yet and it’s 10:30pm. Typical day for me. Blah!
It’s going to get better! It will.
