OH! And he also brought me home some bulbs to plant, so that by spring time, I'll have some of these in my front yard:

| Queen of Night Tulips...how fitting =) |
But damn I'm just in a bad mood. I'm tired of the never ending mountains of laundry, the never ending sink FULL of dishes, the never ending cooking, (OK, I like to cook, I really do, and I would have to admit that we make some damn good food around here, but no matter how much I feed the boys, they are constantly bothering me for food. I feel like that's all I do anymore). Not to mention that Jamis is in his terrible two's and went from having cute silent fits that I wanted to catch on video, to screaming like a pterodactyl 800 times a day. UGH. Some days I have this amazing "I'm Superwoman" drive and I zoom around the house, my cape flapping in the wind, and I have everything spotless, dinner on the table, a flower in my hair and a big smile on my face for Jason when he gets home from work. I'm just not sure how to have that kind of energy EVERY DAY. Any ideas?
At the end of the day though, I'm not cranky enough not to appreciate how precious the boys are WHEN THEY'RE ASLEEP lol, or how long it takes me to turn off all the lights and shut down our amazing big ass house, or passing myself in the mirror almost 80 pounds lighter than last year, or curling up inside the arms of such a remarkable man...so wait...what the hell am I complaining about again?
Those tulips are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have those bad days too, then days like today come along where the temperature is just perfect (slight chill in the air) and you can smell the kettle corn for the arts and crafts fair wafting on the breeze. *sigh* life is good.
But as moms and wifes we are allowed to let loose and complain every once in a while. As far as having any kind of energy when you find out let me know because I have seriously been slacking in that area.
nik I feel you being a stay home mom is just as hard as being a working mom shoot three boys would be hard lol. I work 9 1/2 hours everyday at work by the time I get home I have less that 2 hour hours to cook anything for dinner that's if I even feel up to it give my little one a bath and in bed by 8:30 for her day at school by the time I do get home I just want to fall on my bed and not move but then got make sure that everyone has clean clothes to wear plus make time from being tired to even giving my wonderful man any love before I just pass out buy like ten
ReplyDeleteLife really is good huh Felicia? I can only imagine the trouble and heartache I'd be into if I didn't have the boys to ground me...even if they're the ones now causing me so much trouble and heartache. I have a good feeling it will get easier as they get older. I picture a Friday night playing bored games (the right way), going out for ice cream without buckling anyone's seatbelt but my own, and doing nothing more than dishing out hugs and kisses at bedtime *sigh* The grass is ALWAYS greener eh?
ReplyDeleteTosha I can't even imagine. I want to go to work SO BAD, for the much needed money, but more importantly the sanity. I've been in a strange state of cabin fever for years, but there's too many drop off's, pick-ups, meetings, activities, and honestly...laundry for me to work. There's good and bad sides to it all!

ReplyDeleteThese are the days I dream of. Not that I don't love my kids being little, but somehow I think it is going to be just a bit more fun when I can relax and dream up all the fun stuff we can do!
i some time sit back and look at maleena and wish life was still the simple. they eat go to school play eat play play bath eat bed lol when your that little you have no worries no bills no nothing.. but at that age you just want to get big so you can farther down the street or stay hour later at your friends house or get to stay up later than 8:30...then they cant wait their 16 and can drive.. for me i have to worry about the boys ugh.... so not looking forward to that coming she a lil heart breaker where going have keep the shot gun next to the door maybe outside door so they see it first hand lol
ReplyDeletei still sit back and remember when i was final aloud to walk to your house to play but had to check in ever so often...grrr we always hated that but we never did anything that bad at that age oh we drew and colored and sang every word to grease lol those where the days :)
Tell me about it. Brian has been home maybe 2 weeks in the last 3 months (he comes home today wahoo!...before leaving me again next month boo). I am way more exhausted than I have ever been in my life and just feeling overwhelmed. And living in another country sure does make it that much more difficult, especially this particular country. I can't catch a break! But it is a wonderful life nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to have other Mama's out there that aren't on the whole "i want my kids to stay babies" train! What Jess, we'll be on here complaining about them when they're older, just for different reasons!
ReplyDeleteI remember that too Tosh, it was such a big deal to walk back 5 houses and check in lol. Ah the good ol' days =)
I can't even imagine what you have to go through Jacki. I can remember the exhaustion from being pregnant and having two little ones like it was yesterday...and it SUCKED! BIG TIME! An upside for you guys is that Brian has a guaranteed job though, even with his travels. The past year has been insanely rough for us finding jobs, but I guess humbling at the same time. I know we can live without hot water now! I know you'll enjoy the shit out of your time with him Mama =)
