Not So Good Day — slackermama . com

Today is one of those days. You moms out there know exactly what I’m talking about when I say that. In fact, I could end the post right now and you would walk away feeling as if you know already just what my day has been like. But… for the sake of being a blabbermouth, I’m going to continue on and write the post anyhow.

It hasn’t been awful. There hasn’t been one major event to send my day on it’s ear. There haven’t even been a series of annoying things. Yet, annoyed I am. That’s what makes it one of those days. Versus just being one of those days you wish you’d never gotten out of bed. Yes, there is a difference.

Liam is, I think, putting through his two year molars. This is what made the whole sleeping thing “interesting” while we were camping. Those of you out there with two year olds know that if there is anything that can turn our normally darling pre-toddlers into full blown jerk toddlers, it’s those two year molars. Liam is no exception. He is, I’m finding out, alarmingly contrary.

As always, it is the whole eating thing that gets the blood pressure up. Eat, dangit! EAT! But no. And when I’m not fighting him about eating, I’m fighting him about flinging around various articles from around the house. Or from wiping his ever, runny nose on the Boppy while I’m nursing Evie (which is ALL THE TIME).

And then there’s Harry. He’s off school this month and boy howdy is he ever a slob. I’m not even sure where to start with him. And on top of being a slob, he’s picked up a few bad habits. One of them is something that Kile does that drives me nuts. He opens a new box of cereal when there are old cereals that need to be used up. The end result is a pantry full of half eaten cereal. DRIVES ME CRAZY.

Plus, the house is a wreck. The living room floor needs a vacuum and perhaps a steam cleaning. The kitchen… well, the kitchen always needs help. The floor is a mess, there are groceries that haven’t been put away yet, dishes on the counter and in the sink and dirty dishes in the dishwasher (then, duh, START IT dumbass!). EVERYWHERE I look there is something out of place. I don’t know where to start. So I just don’t.

I’m just letting normal stuff (and yes, this is all pretty normal) get to me today. Hormones, maybe? I don’t know. I hate days like these. I’m tense and on edge and ready to just freak out at the drop of a hat. I hate feeling this way. I wish I could just take a pill or a deep breath or something and feel better. Maybe tomorrow, right?

Before you go, don’t forget to check out my BlogHer ‘08 registration giveaway! Are you tired of me reminding you about that yet? Well too bad. I’ll be reminding you again tomorrow too, just so you know.
