Help me further procrastinate doing housework, please.

[mamaalysson]

Vent? Can I do a vent? DS was up from 2 on vomiting. I'm so tired. And he's so sad. He also refuses to unglue himself from my body. It's going to be a long day.

Oh, and Dad Tiger's voice weirds me out.

[mamaalysson]

Oh! I have a confession! I hate carving pumpkins. This year, my kids both picked really small pumpkins, so I suggested we paint them. They love the idea. Win for mom!

[Kcthepouchh8r]

I'll vent too. A family friend is doing some direct sales stuff and I listened because sadly I'm a nice person. She took my niceness as an invitation to harass me to sell this weight loss stuff. She calls me multiple times a week to try to convince me. I've tried to nicely give her the impression thanks but I'm not interested but she isn't getting it. I'm going to have to be more direct in saying really I'm not interested stop calling me and I hate being that rude. Gah, why do those companies turn seemingly sane people crazy? Save me.

If you don't hand out candy to teenagers you're a grinch. Let them have that one hour to have fun. They pretend to be so big and tough all the time, but the truth is, many of them are sad that they're almost too old for these childhood rituals.

Now if they're rude or drunk or whatever, totally different. Not that I've ever had a drunk TOTer, just inebriated parents of TOTers.

One of my neighbors from down the street randomly showed up at my house this morning asking if he could buy me coffee and am I married. I am more than a little bit squicked out.

And wasn't TOT invented to keep kids from doing other inappropriate things on Halloween? So..yeah, i just like to see them in costume...the teenagers who come by with a pillowcase and no costume kind of frustrate me...but better than getting drunk or vandalizing something I suppose.

I've done no decorating this year and I haven't finished my own costume for the party tonight. I just can't get motivated.

DS thinks he doesn't need naps and I'm gonna legit cry if he's right.

I would never say no to a teenager in fear of getting my house egged. Lol. I wouldn't give him a big handful like I would a little kid unless he was in costume. The ones that don't even try annoy me.

I actually thought oh shit now I have to move.

[quesyrah]

MIL asked if she could have DS for a sleepover tonight. Initially I wanted to say no because we were out late last night and we'll be out late Saturday night.

But I said yes because that just leaves us with DD who goes to bed early and is the easy one put to sleep- and she sleeps until 8 am.

Meanwhile MIL has planned to make jell-0, decorate Halloween cookies and have kettle corn while they watch a curious George Halloween movie.

Have fun with my sugar loaded kid. I'll be at home binge watching Person of Interest with my wine.

[justbecause]

It's been a shit day.

Took the boys to the gym and the store. We came back home and some realtor was showing our house! WTF! "You didn't know we were coming?"
"No, of course we didn't! Didn't you notice toys and clothes were everywhere!"

Went to a Halloween party and my oldest ran off because he saw a friend and wouldn't stop when I yelled to him a million times. Ds2 and I caught up with him and I told him he had to walk with me and hold my hand. So he kicked me in the shin and tried to get away. I had to carry ds 2 and try to get him into the car. It was really embarrassing and now I feel like a bad mom for yelling at him and pushing him along.

[jnksmom]

It's been a shitty week. DD hasn't slept well all week. She is laying awake for hours at night which means I'm not sleeping much either. I am so exhausted which makes everything worse. My confession...I gave her Benadryl the other night do she would go to sleep.
H is still living in this house even though we are divorcing and he says I can have the house. He is "just not ready to move out". I don't know how much more I can take. I want the house but at this point I don't think it's worth it and I may move out myself. I hate coming home because it's so stressful.
It's a full moon, Halloween week, and it rained here all week which means no recess. My students were so full of energy and my freaking observation was this week. It was honestly one of the worst lessons I have taught all year which sucks. Anxious to see what the evaluator has to say next week. On the bright side I have 3 more this year to redeem myself.

[justbecause]

I guess I'm being ridiculous.
Especially since he also tried to bite me.

Early bedtime, no pizza for dinner for that kid.
Four year olds....

Time for wine.

What is he waitin for?! What does your lawyer say? I'm sorry that things just keep compounding

Oh lexus! Sorry to hear that things haven't got better for you at home. It's really not fair to you that he's putting you through all this. He made the choice, he needs to man up and follow through.

You probably don't remember me, but wanted to say I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm also going through a divorce and, though XH moved out months ago (due to him getting violent) that month between when I filed and when he moved out was the worst. Hang in there, and definitely talk to your lawyer before making any decisions about staying or moving, especially if you're concerned about custody issues (dunno if you are or not....)

I can also relate to the craziness of the full moon + Halloween + crappy weather this week....same here w/ my students! Hope you can relax a bit tonight..,,have an extra glass of wine;)

He doesn't want to move into an apartment and can't buy while his name is still on this house or so he says. I am hoping to keep the house we own now so my attorney said its best if I don't move out. However at this point I'm not sure it's worth it. I am ready to pack up and move myself. Also, because he is still on the mortgage of this house I cannot legally make him move out.

I do remember you. I'm sorry you are going through this also. I have talked to my attorney and am being very careful. H is being an ass and I feel like he is looking for things to try to use against me. Custody will more likely be an issue he fights the most so it's a fine line.

Dude. I would be embarrassed if I DIDNT yell and make my 4 year old leave a party after biting and kicking me. That's not cool. Sugared up or not

Yeah, if he's gonna fight you on custody, it's better to not leave the kids' home, even if he said you could have it (I'm sure you know this). I'm sorry he's being an ass (so crazy how these men who have single-handedly destroyed their marriages have the nerve to be difficult in the divorce....but I guess that s part of being an ass...) Hang in there!

This happened to me at the mall once. They were both acting like crazy feral maniacs and I only had the sit and stand but no carrier, so W had to be in the seat that buckled and G and N were climbing on and off, acting crazy. I was really struggling and a woman walked up to me and said "your doing a good job mom, hang in there". I wanted to hug her.
