You know when everything just accumulates and you decide that no matter what, today is just going to the worst day of your life, for no good reason?
Well that's today.
I hate paydays (Friday was payday). I have to pay all the bills. And it makes me grumpy. I have to pay how much for what? Why do I have to pay this bill now? I thought I paid that one already.... grrr!!! It makes me so irritable. Being pregnant with 2 months left has nothing to do with it.
Then I have kids who decide that every bone in their little body is going to defy everything I say or do. Running around with no diapers on, pooping in the backyard, bouncing off the walls, breaking necklaces with tiny, tiny beads, crying for candy, spilling lemonade all over when I specifically tell them it's special and they better not spill it, destroying folded and ready to put away laundry, slamming the doors on fingers, pouring snacks out on the floor.....
You see? I'm tired of it. Tired of the mess, tired of cleaning up. Anyone who thinks I'm sooooo lucky that I have someone clean my house 2x a month does not even knooooooow. I still have to clean up 3 meals a day, 2 days a week. Plus clean up, make dinner once a day, 5 times a week. If I'm not cleaning up that, I'm cleaning up the disaster that was left for me from the morning. I swear I feel like I have to vacuum at least once a day now, clean windows and doors at least every week, and clean the bathroom everyday. How are these children such PIGS?
We have toys coming out of our ears. I'm always stepping/slipping/tripping over some stupid toy I just put away.
So despite me wanting to be a grump all day, I went for a pedicure and took Madison with me for the first time. I'm trying really, really hard to turn this day around. Madison got her toes painted and I got an amazing foot rub/scrub. It was 50 minutes of bliss. I felt awful when I left. James was scrambling to get shorts and shoes on so he could come. Awe :( That made me so sad. I'm so close to James. We go everywhere together. BUT! Even though he is a mama's boy, I'm not about to have him do anything girly. So stay home he did.
Now the kids are napping, so it's the perfect time to quickly scour the rooms and put things away. When they wake up we will have a nice clean house and head for the pool (to keep it clean) and have pizza for dinner. Maybe ice cream for dessert. And just maybe, maybe, this day will turn for the better.
I just can't believe how fast my weeks/weekends are going now. Am I really going to have a baby in 8 weeks? This is the first time I'm hoping the baby does NOT come early. I'm not ready. *Whimper*

And everyone asks why I don't want kids...
My third child is the absolute sunshine of my life. Don't get me wrong, I adore the other two, but it's a bit different with him - I ache for my Jake. So, you just go ahead and be as worried as you want about what crazy the next one will bring to your life, but I'm a-tellin' ya, it really does work out.
Love, Your Stalker.
I didn't get to experience the joy of having multiple kids, but I feel like how my life would've been via your blog. Time really does go fast. I do wonder if we graph it with age as independent variable and how fast we feel the time travels as y, would it be an exponential function?
Lisa - you're just not ready yet.
Sara - James is my sunshine. He is my best buddy. My heart broke when I saw his sad little face when we left. His dad promised to take him to the store to make up for it.
Sung - it seems like as I get older time is flying by so much faster! You are right. Do you ever wonder had you stayed working what things would have been like? I'm jealous of everyone who has a list of summer plans. It's no different for me. Work, work, work. I'm hoping one day I might have the option of working less. I would love to work 3 days/week.
Ditto, ditto and ditto. At one point this week I called Seth and told him to just expect the house to be a mess and for me to be a lump on the couch. I just couldnt' fight the fight anymore,at least not that day. Good thing for tomorrows and renewed energy.
