Uh Oh.

I'm feelin' sorry for myself!

DL has been OOT for 2 weeks. I'm dying here. These wild animals cannot be contained. They are more than one person ought to have to contend with alone.

BLM has had 2 meltdowns today.
  • Broken Halloween Necklace- "I HATE THIS NECKLACE. I never want another necklace again!" Real tears, ugly cry, you know- general hysterics.
  • Spilled Root Beer- "I HATE SODA! I never want another soda again ever in my life!" Real tears, ugly cry, and hysterics.

Both of these episodes lasted from 15-20 minutes. Mims had to endure the necklace debacle. I had to endure the root beer trauma. It was pretty bad.

I have resorted to drinking beer right after work. Tonight we didn't get home until 7pm. This puts me all out of sorts because I really like to be home at 5. I'm not getting enough time to do my chores since no one is here to help me. (Feeling sorry for myself. I know I don't exactly have a rough life, but please indulge me in some bitching thank you very much.)


We are one hour past due on bathtime. This means I will not get any alone time tonight. I really need to be alone. Do you think they would notice if I slipped out of the house after they were asleep in bed? Nah. They never wake up anyway.



Of course I am just kidding.

Hope tomorrow is bettter!

Oh girl - I feel your pain! I have 2 rambunctious little boys and there are nights when I am counting down the minutes for their bedtime. I have been known to put them to bed an hour early (good thing they can't tell time yet!). My fridge always has wine coolers in it for nights like these ... I'll have one for you tonight!

Hugs holly! Im sorry you are having a tough time.

Can you sit outside for a bit? That always helps me if I am having a meltdown and am trapped in my house alone.

Hopefully today is better.

I know its so hard to do it all by yourself. So I'm sending you hugs and I hope DL comes home SOON!!!!

How much longer will he be out of town?

Jaime said...

When DL gets home tell him your takin off for some r&r....get yourself a hotel room and enjoy the peace and quiet! :) Hope he gets home soon so you can get some help!!

I haven't checked my blog or emails in several days. Sorry I am just getting back to you. You can call me at my moms house. Will I see you tomorrow? Wish I could email you, but don't have your email on my parents computer. Don't really wanna leave my cell phone here b/c a crazy person might get it and call me or better yet...stalk me.

Oh man, that sucks.. you need to escape, girlie!

I know it's hard when the other half is not home. When my hubby is gone I am in hysterics myself just dealing with 3 kiddos under 5 years old.. Egh, gives me the chills just thinking about it lol.

Oh lord, does this sound familiar. Except I recall that when Bad Princess came out, we would throw in the "And I hate you too" shrieking.

You know what I love? That you write out the things I think and feel but don't have the balls to say.

Yes, we are blessed, but sometimes that isn't much consolation in the middle of a meltdown, is it?
