So, just feeling tired of kids not listening when I ask them to do something OR to stop doing something. Getting tired of whiners. Tired of poop, wiping bums. Trying to change clothes on kids that keep trying to run away. Tired of threats (by me) that if they don't listen, they're either a) going to time out b) losing some privilege c) not getting to play with friends.
Tired, oh so tired of cleaning up my house, yet always feeling like it's so messy that I'm embarrassed for anyone to knock on my door. Tired of worrying about it.
Tired of cooking a healthy meal to just have kids say yuck before they even taste it.
Tired, of one crying cause the other hit, shoved, or took something away from them.
Tired of a 5 year old and a 3 year old talking back to me.
Basically, I think I'm just TIRED. I need sleep. But even when Kevin lets me sleep in or gets whichever child in the night, I am still so tired!
Okay, I'm done whining myself. Is it okay to feel like this about something that I've wanted so much for so long. Is it okay to feel like this about something that I was jealous of others for having?
I truly love my life......I do....honestly! I just have the blues this week. Kevin and I are going on a marriage retreat overnight in a few weeks, I'm so nervous to leave my kiddos overnight with someone....never done it before (except when I've been in the hospital) but I think it will be just what the doctor ordered. I need some good time with my man. Thanks for letting me whine.

Love you!

I relate. Love you!
I totally understand what you are talking about.... somedays I wonder why do I clean or try to have the kids listen but it just seems to be a fight all the time... although I always think of something my mom said when my kids are not getting along. She said when we were little she thought we would never get along and that we would never be friends, and now my sisters and I are best friends and super close, so it will get better someday with that :)
I can really sympathize with what you are feeling. I love my girls but sometimes I just don't want to be mom anymore. That's when I tell myself I was the one that wanted them (then I tell myself to shut up). Good luck and I hope you get to go on your overnight retreat!
I have been having the mommy blues too I guess. I totally agree with all of those whines, I am just tired of it all, but they are such a blessing too. It helps me to just get out and have fun with them and forget about my messier than messy house and all the work I should be doing! It is so much fun to watch them have fun!
Me too.
Love you Kristi! We need to hang out!!
