“Nobody puts baby in a corner”
Things To Make Clear
One. I am not a mommy blogger. I blog about my kids, yes. But only because they are the neatest kids I know. I am a blogger who likes to share funny or inspiration or show my friends and family the happenings of goings on around here. Blogger - yes. Mommy blogger - no.
Two. When I say “I need a vacation” or “I’m done” that means help me I’m loosing my mind. My job is a gift I know that for absolute certain. It can also be way too much for me handle at times. I am not from Wonder Mom stock. I can only go a few days without crying into my pillow at night hoping the next day I won’t suck too badly.
Three. Liking to punch things (or stupid people) is not a bad thing. Sugar Ray Leonard didn’t think it was a bad thing. Some people are just born with a little more fight in them and it needs to travel out of their fists…or in 2-16 cuss words.
Four. 11 meals a day is not an acceptable nutrition schedule for anyone, let alone children.
Five. If you are psycho and you treated me like trash in high school, then there is no way on this holy earth I am accepting your friend request. It’s not going to happen. no.
LOL, I know what you mean! I’ve got several(all??) going through growthspurts right now….I feel like I’m making a TON more food all of the sudden!
My kids treat the kitchen like an all you can eat (and/or make a mess of) buffet 24 hours a day. Oh the joys of boys.
I feel you on #2. I have said “I am done” maybe a million times (this week). Motherhood is a joy, sure, but it is also the hardest thing I have ever done. By 7 pm every night I am beyond drained. Physically and emotionally D-O-N-E. If I am lucky I can get the kids in bed and asleep before I completely freak out. If I am not, well, it sucks for all of us. Motherhood bares no resembalance to any other time I have worked with kids. Sometimes, it takes all I have not to climb into bed sobbing, “I give up.” I wish I could offer some sort of, “it gets better” but as you know, having a kids older than mine, it doesn’t. I can, however, offer you sympathy and say, “I know, girlfriend, I know.” Thanks god they ARE so cool and smart and usually pretty hilarious or else I would be bald now.
Hugs, Dee. I love how honest and vulnerable you present yourself in this blog. I really feel like I am getting to know you so much better through it.
Hahaha. Look, I wrote a book too.
I am with Maggi…I wont write the book she wrote but I too feel your pain and I love this blog for the same reason! I have never really gotten to know you really well for many reasons…distance as in mileage would probably be the biggest but I feel like I know so much more about you through your writing and I like it! :)

You are a GREAT mommy of this I am certain! However, I absolutely understand the crying in the pillow, or punching(the pillow) or the need for LOOOONNNNNGGG baths or trips to the store, or elsewhere by yourself. Wish I lived closer to you, we could have girls night out :-).
PS. 11 meals a day? :-O Whoa!! I thought 4 was plenty(3 meals and a snack…) it’s certainly all I can keep up with!
PSS. Psycho’s from school wanting to friend(or is that what it would technically be called)? That IS crazy!! I haven’t had that one…yet…but I’ve had a few requests from people I have no idea who they are, so I ignore them and go blissfully about my day.
Ok, now that I’ve written a book…
