WARNING: Pity party ahead!

Feeling a bit down in the dumps this morning. Yesterday was just not a good day for me. It was going alright until the boys came home from school and then the whining and bad attitudes just got the better of me. So I was in a pissy mood all evening, and then DH was yelling at the boys about everything, calling them lazy etc. When he does stuff like that I just want to grab the kids and leave. No matter how rotten they are acting they don’t deserve to be treated like that. I am not sure what got into DH because he normally does not act that way at all, but like I said, I can’t stand it when he does. It just pisses me off and makes me want to get the hell out of here with the kids. And I am totally stressing about money, or our lack thereof and all the things we need it for. Like finishing Rhianna’s room so she can get the heck out of ours, getting the ceiling/roof in the boys room fixed so it can stop leaking, buying a new lawnmower because DH left ours out of the shed all winter so now it probably CAN’T be fixed. I just forked out almost $200 on 2 new tires for his car, $50 for his new glasses. I’m sick of not getting enough sleep, I’m sick of not having any help around here, and sick of being cold..I’m just..UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! And, DS has been complaining of pain in his heels for a while now, so I’m probably going to have to take him to the doctor about that. I am pretty sure it is a combination of his age/growth and the fact that he, like me, is overweight and I don’t know what to do about it. Everything I have read on the internet says that at the age he is, there is some sort of growth/bone development going on in their feet and that this pain is very common, and even more so in kids that are overweight. He doesn’t really eat that unhealthy but he definitely eats way more than he should portion wise, and he also isn’t very active. I’ve already decided that the video games are going to be for weekends only and only one hour per day at that. When he gets home from school he can do his homework and then either clean his room or go play outside. We have soccer balls and footballs, but I’m looking for some other good “outside” toys/ideas that would be good to have on hand that aren’t $$ (see $ problem above). I’m looking for things I can send with him into the backyard while I’m working on getting dinner going, etc. He is 8 btw.

I can’t wait for this weekend..I have a scrapbooking thing I am doing with a friend on Saturday, so maybe that will cheer me up and help me get out of this funk. I think I just need a break and time to relax and regroup.

Looking ahead and forward to Wednesday, because after that it’s all downhill to the weekend!
