I’m feeling deflated as a writer and blogger today. Good ol’ fashioned pity party. Nothing is meeting my expectations and it’s so darn frustrating. I feel like I’ve come late to the party, all the cool kids are hanging out together and I’m stuck in a corner of the room wondering how not to look like a loser.
Plus, the boys keep fighting, I got teenager attitude from the girl, who isn’t even a teen yet, and the toddler keeps picking out of the garbage can. This is not why I gave birth, ya know. Right now the two eldest are fighting, and Doc just walked in from work, but do they call for him? Nope. I didn’t give birth to be a referee either.
With all that said, I’m thinking of turning off the comments here, that way there is nothing for me to miss. If I’m feeling really daring I’ll pitch the sitemeter, too. I’m sorry for the rant and I hope I’m not sounding like a big baby. I just need to type it all out, think it through, go to Cold Stone Creamery after the kids are strapped tucked in their beds and wallow in yummy-ness. Is that a word? Yummy-ness.
Yes, folks, she needs ice cream.
Hey – I’m still here. I like your blog because it makes me realize that it’s OK not to have a perfect house, nagging makes husbands tired and cranky, and children are indeed little sinners no matter how much you love them. Notice I used an Oxford comma after the word “cranky” which is about the only thing I’ve done correctly and to completion today. . . and by the bye, I’m considering a Mud Pie Mojo from Coldstone myself. (Thank the Lord they don’t do that singing thing anymore. How uncomfortable was that?)
Oh, yes. And I was also wondering whether you might be pregnant again, but I guess not. You look too slim in your lacy tank top.
not pregnant? why? do you think I’m PMSing? ha ha.
it’s called an Oxford comma? they didn’t teach me that in school. i wanna refund on my b.a.
thanks for the encouragement
I love your blog. It’s a refresher from alot of others I have come across. Can I place a link to it on my blog?
of course, mommy2lots
All one can say Monica is embrace the messiness. Anyone that portends to have a pristine life is living a fantasy. We all wish for more sometimes and wonder what we have to do to achieve it. The cyclical nature of life clearly comes with its share of aggravations – it is what builds character don’t you think?
In your case, you have the right solution. A trip to the Creamery has such healing powers. Have a bit of whip cream on that delight and do not forget to put a dab on Doc’s nose for fun.
And yes, I still check in on occasion. Good stuff… and I can identfy with every moment of it.
and I thought you had crashed my pity party
….I’m the one at Coldstone ordering the Love It size of the Caramel Latte shake!!! I will return…need anything from Coldstone???
sissy, i’ll take a coffee lovers in a huge tub size. i’ve never had their shakes. that latte sounds dreamy.
thanks kev
I love your blog! I have not been able to keep up with my favorite blogs here lately from my mother-in-law’s VERY slow computer and fuzzy pixelated pictures on her monitor, but I’ll be back to checking your blog daily once we get back home in a few weeks! (o:
