kimberley wrote: blah. i am having one of those days or weeks... whatever Jade is teething and cranky. she didn't have a BM yesterday (sorry TMI) and she just exploded about an hour ago. i have washed my hands numerous times and changed my clothes and i can still smell it! YUCK! she hasn't been sleeping well because of her teeth which means i get no sleep. the boys are going stir crazy but it is still too cold for Jade to be out for long periods of time. everytime DH takes her off my hands, she screams blue murder and ends up back with me in 10 minutes. i wanted to get the house clean but instead it looks like a bomb went off because princess will not let me put her down and is even fussing in the sling. i am supposed to be going to a movie tomorrow with DH but my dad is already playing the "I'm not feeling well" card and him and his gf were supposed to watch her. i am just so tired and frustrated. i want to go hide under my covers and never come out! Calgon take me away! i am going nuts!

Mom2Boyz replied: I'm sorry you're having such a bad day or week I guess I should say. Those blow outs are no fun at all!! But don't feel bad, Conner hasn't pooped in 10 days, so I know I have a HUGE one comming.
I'm sure things will get better for you.
I hope you get to go out with your dh tomorrow night. I'm sure that would make you feel ALOT better.


((((HUGS))))

DansMom replied: Uggh---nothing like explosive, runny or mushy you-know-what to ruin your week! I feel for you. I hope the weekend brings rest and better moods all around!

pinka_star replied: I'm sorry!!!! I hope your Dad watches Jade for your tomorrow, and if not I hope you get someone else to watch her. It sounds like you really need time away from the kids. *Hugs*

Elle replied: Oh God, I went through the same thing when my kids were babies... And I'll be there again in some months!
I hope your dad can take care of Jade, you need some time alone with your dh!

kimberley replied: problem is... it would have been our first time out without her. something i think we both need right now. i don't really trust anyone else to watch her because she has never been babysat before and i don't want her with someone else that she doesn't know so well because she is already showing signs of separation anxiety. it was only supposed to be a few hours in the afternoon. just to the movie and back since she is ebf and really doesn't like it in a bottle.

i guess i am overtired and really wishing for a little me time and us time with DH. being a mom is really lonely sometimes. sure the kids are awesome and i thank God for them every day but once in a while I need some adult interaction. it just seems lately that weekends we are running errands, entertaining family and cleaning. weekdays, Jamie sleeps in the morning, works from noon til almost 10pm then we both just go to sleep. i don't really have a lot of friends and the one's i do are either totally wrapped up in themselves or their own busy lives. i feel like everything is my responsibility all of the time and it would be nice for someone to take care of me for a day. blah.... i need to stop whining! someone please slap me lol.

thanks for listening and being supportive. it helps.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: Awwww Kimberly, sounds like you really could use a break! Give Jade to Jamie and go and take a nice HOT bubble bath! You will feel better, even if you aren't able to stay in the tube for very long you need to do this for yourself! Or if there are a few things you need to run out and get at the store, leave Jade with Jamie and take the boys to the store or out for coffee! I'm sorry you are feeling so isolated, I hope that Jade's teeth come soon!

MilMunchMOM replied: Oh Noooo! So sorry you are having a bad day? week? I hope it gets better for you. I know how you feel about needing to get out. I have been there, what am i saying i am there...... joining in This week with the snow has just been the icing on the cake! Cabin Fever has taken over my house!!
This was from this morning!!

coasterqueen replied: Ah I am so sorry you are having a rough week. There ought to be a rough week club for us! LOL! Hopefully your dad will watch the kids so you can enjoy a well-deserved night alone with DH.

If I was there I would clean your house and watch your kids for you

A&A'smommy replied: Ugh I know how you feel!!! ((((BIG HUGS))) I hope that you can get out with just jamie for a couple of hours this weekend, I know what you mean about a baby-sitter it's hard to leave them with someone she doesn't know very well! (((BIG HUGS)))

megsmommie replied: I'm sorry you are having such a miserable day. Hugs to you hun

mummy2girls replied: Oh dear...here are some hugs for you((((HUGS))) I hope you get himt o babysit...

CantWait replied: Ack I know how it feels hon, it will get better (I hope). Anthony just popped those two teeth, but before that he was up every two hours if not more. That from sleeping through the night He's going through the separation axiety thing right now where all he wants is me. I really hope her teeth come in quickly and things get better. Mega hugs for you
