…Where I got up at 4 a.m. to get my son who was fussing. Laid him on my chest to get him to go back to sleep. Wake up at 4:45 to realize he has peed all over my belly. Grrrreat.
…Where I had to rush to work to handle two big projects that took up the majority of my day. As a result, I didn’t eat breakfast. Or lunch. I had half a banana. That’s it.
…Where I got out of my last project late and ended up getting stuck in traffic on the way home, thereby making dinner late. We didn’t eat until after 7.
…Where my daughter refused to just LET ME BE and insisted upon following me around the house, screaming out “Mommy!!!” at every turn and forgeting every ounce of manners we’ve managed to instill in her thus far.
Not that you care and really, you shouldn’t, but I just had to vent and let this off my chest so I can go, get into bed, pull the covers up, read a magazine and then drift off to sleep without thoughts of “OH MY GOD I HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN TOMORROW?!?!?” running through my head.
Thanks for listening.

I’m sorry to hear about your day! Hope tomorrow is much better than today.
Get it all out babe. That’s what we’re here for. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

This is going to sound so awful of me, but I love it when u vent like this. I guess its because I have u on this high pedestal (I mean because really, u are just so amazing!) that I like to hear you struggle and have the rough days too, but are still amazing. I guess it makes u human to me and not a super (sorry, Jaedyn and I just watched the Incredibles lol).
But I feel ur pain. Wednesday I had to make last min preps for my dad’s funeral, ran around all day trying to get assistance to cover the rest of what his policy wouldn’t, get our stuff together for the funeral, etc., etc., etc., and after all that, being drained physically, mentally and emotionally, Jaedyn was throwing up everything I gave him. He threw up on my only comforter, all on my clothes, several of his clothes since I had to keep changing them. He was running out of sleepers the size he is in now so I had to wash his clothes then do another load for my bed sheets, I just wanted to shoot myself in the head!!! I needed an escape so bad! So u definitely know I can relate to how u feel!
@Courtney – Ha! I’m nowhere near being a super, although I wish I was! And YES, I have those days when my world is a MESS! I was having a meltdown yesterday that resulted from me trying to do EVERYTHING for everyone and then realized when I needed to hand the baton off to someone else, there wasn’t anyone with an outstretched hand. (Except for the husband, but you know, men are…men.) Wednesday was a terrible day, wasn’t it?
