Tell me to buck up

[maggiemoo]

I'm in a funk. It wasn't unbearable last week, but this week has been hell. I'm overtired, have very little patience, and on the verge of tears by at least noon. In tears after everyone is asleep.

The almost 4 year old pushes my buttons constantly. I'm in a poop in the potty stand off with the 2.5 year old. We've been mostly home bound since Monday due to potty training. Both cat's with no medical issues are peeing in the floor. I'm sick of shampooing the carpet. Both kids are in bed with us most of the night. I watched DS like a hawk all afternoon while he did the I need to poop dance. Spent way too much time in the bathroom for nothing. Said fuck it, and switched out the laundry. He pooped in his pants.

At night, I end up feeling like a shitty wife and mom. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong? Usually this stuff just rolls off my back. Sorry to blab. Tell me to snap out of it.

what a rough few days
would you like some milk and cookies?

That sounds so rough, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time lately. If you were a crap mom/wife, you wouldn't even be upset about thing right now. Can you do anything after the kids are in bed just for you? Read a book or watch tv? Get wasted?

I have been having the same kinda of days with my kids. They're 5 & 2. I am more excited than I thought possible for school to start in a couple weeks.
