blogging woes
Nobody can take offense to anything I say here. Either forgive or DON'T read!!
Today has been really blah for me. My kids are fighting. My house is a mess. I can't seem to unbury my happy (craft) room, not that I would really get to work in there even if I did... so, as I sit down and read about Amy Maher's night alone and her SUPER cute layout, Michelle's wonderful week with just Eva, Jessie's tower of presents (wrapped SO dang cute!), Jill's creative day at Michelle's... I feel annoyed and depressed. I don't know what I think I want, but a house full of fighting, screaming kids who leave a sticky trail everywhere they go and piles of stuff for ME to put away ISN'T it!! Even my daily dose of Dance Dance Revolution didn't help! Kelly just walked in the door and wants to help but I don't know what to tell him. In this mode, I will NOT survive the summer! Maybe I need to get back to making lists so every day doesn't feel like a waste.
So, sorry to brood but I just don't have anything more in me today!

I really understand how you feel. I know even sympathy may not help your mood at all, but I really do get it. Your house is a prison, your kids are monsters, and everyone is doing better and more interesting things while you're stuck in the nasty, smelly, mire. Sound about right? I'm sorry. I wish I could be there to just take you away from it all. I love you!
I feel for you. I never know how you can handle the chaos of 5 kids plus your busy calling and life. I'm sorry our blogs are depressing you. I'm glad you vented though.
I'm sorry. I can definitely relate. I especially seem to get "blah" after a trip. It just seems to take too long to get everything and everyone back to normal. I still think that you're amazing. I wish that you could see yourself that way.
Jeremy thinks the biggest problem with women blogging is that we always try to put our best faces forward and represent our lives ass if they're wonderful. I fully support and (don't be offended) rather enjoy reading about everyone's woes. It reminds me that we have to have our downs to appreciate our ups.
I know what you mean about having a husband who wnats to help but not knowing yourself what to have him do. Jeremy is very willing to help, but the things that need to be done, well, I just feel like they need to be done by me. (My craft room is one of them--I'm so with you there!)
So, I guess what I'm trying to say it vent away! Vent for more than one post if you have to! It's your blog and we are merely your readers. I doubt that anyone will be turned off by it!
I think all of us go through these stages...I think they come with the territory of being a mom....the other day I went somewhere and packed this whole bag of things/food/diapers...(because sometimes my husband says "you should carry some food for these kids incase we are not coming home soon" so I was hauling this bag around and he carried it for a moment and said "why is this so heavy and why are you carrying it around?" and I just said because I am a MUM!!!!!!!!!!!!! sometimes there are just no answers..............
I hate when I have days like that, I just want to stand in the middle of the room and scream, stop my feet and then have a good cry. I hope you are able to find an outlet, maybe the bathroom with the door shut. Sorry that your DDR didn't do the trick either.
i am so glad you shared. I have good and bad days. Lucky for me I am in one of those good times and I'm only going on 5 hours of sleep. go figure.
Anyway, I can only imagine what it would be like. I feel this craziness constantly and you are +2. You are an amazing woman. Never feel bad for having a bad day. Try to find sometime to do something for you...even if you have to lock yourself in your bathroom or hide in your shower (a friend of mine did this).
