High of 65 today!

It's practically snowing!!

Cutting off family is no joke and far from easy.

I feel so much better when I have no contact whatsoever. Thanks to some extended family members though, this week has been full of drama. And of course I'm the bad guy because that is the picture my parents and siblings paint.

I am really trying not to let this shit bother me, but getting called out on Facebook, and my sister feeling the need to publicize shit on Facebook, has gotten to me.

I'm stepping away from Facebook a bit, but I use it as a large part in my business, so I need to figure out how to still be able to do so without having the drama. A mass friends list cleanup is obviously in order.

I am trying so hard to not give them the power to hurt me, but it's hard. I've been their punching bag all my life.

Today started off shitty. DH and I got into a fight, which bothered me even more given that he knows how my mental state has been all week. I'm definitely feeling a little down today.

Sometimes I am scared I am not patient enough to be a parent. This morning is one of those times.

I can guarantee you are not the only parent to feel this way. If you are able, try leaving the house. Sometimes the change of scenery is good for both of us. Hope today gets better.

Thanks I finally gave him to my husband after three hours of hungry/not hungry, wet/dry, and everything else that I couldn't figure out what was wrong and he ate and fell asleep hard as if the last few hours hadn't happened. He then slept for three hours straight. It is amazing how a little sleep refreshed my patience.

This fall it seems like we JUST get over an illness and another one springs up. Last night Molly developed another cough and has had a fitful night, and then my other kid started puking at 5 am.

Aughhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I am so with you. Two weeks ago both kids had HF&M. Wednesday Leo had a stomach bug. I am too the point where I sort of just show up to work when I feel like it.

I hate feeling lazy because I am missing work so often.

My sister was in town last weekend, and she insisted I watch The Hunger Games (she really liked it).

Of course after watching it I had an immediate need to read all of the books (this also happened with GoT). I got HG from the library Monday, finished it Wednesday night. Now I'm almost done with Catching Fire. I'm obsessed. So much so that when I've taken the train into work this week, if I'm at a good part when I get to my stop,  I'll come in to the office and spend the first fifteen or twenty minutes of the work day with my door closed, reading .  This has happened three times this week, and I feel a little ashamed.  But it's the slow season in my office, so I'm trying to justify it.

Hugs. I love facebook, but this is where it sucks ass. Just another way for people to be dramatic assholes.

I cut all my hair into a pixie again.

I'm trying not to bug my mom so she can rest but I want to know if she's talked to her brothers or my grandma (I'm afraid to call grandma since mom said he breathing is so labored-- she takes really deep breaths after every few words)

nursewife, that would make me nervous, too. :/ I've only driven in snow like 2 times, and both times the roads were pretty clear.

It's really not that bad, but I have driving ptsd. I waited for snow to melt to leave for work.
