Was in tears. Don't know what happened, but I completely lost it. My kids were getting on my nerves so bad. My husband works swing shift and I work days, so as soon as I get home he leaves for work. I pay my youngest sister to come over and help me out, but last night I just wanted to get in my car and drive away, as far as I could go.
My youngest (Kaleigha) just turned 4 months old yesterday, and she's teething. We also switched her formula so she's been constipated and gassy. Let me tell you, this is not fun!
Lucas, is almost 16 months and boy does he have a temper! He balls up is little fists, gets ridgit and just starts grunting (It really is a funny sight to see). Well, he's into throwing things and getting into anything he can find. Last night he threw a toy train and hit me in the eye. He also threw some rackets and hit Kaleigha, who in turn screamed her head off. Last night was the first time I was going to feed her baby cereal, and Lucas spilled it all over the kitchen floor. He dumped a glass of water (that my sister left on the floor) all over the carpet and then proceeded to walk around with his capri sun juice upside down, so my dining room floor is all sticky. He also dumped a half a can of soda in the recliner.
Cheyenne my 3 year old, is a now stop chatter box. She too gets into everything possible. Everytime I try to do something, she's right there in the mix. I was yelling at my kids last night, like I was a mad woman!
. I don't like doing that or feeling that way.
Also, my mom asked me to pick up some ice for her when I went to go get Cheyenne from pre-school, which is NOT on my way, and my husband calls and asks me to drop off his work badge, that he left on the TV in the bedroom. I can't find my cell phone, that my son no doubtly took. I dropped half our dinner on the kitchen floor and finally I just completely lost it. I was in tears. When I dropped off my husband's badge he told me that one of the supervisors was demoted to a lead, which is NOT a good thing, as they have been laying people off and will continue to do so. We are both scared that he could be next. It appears that the head boss, is getting rid of the people that he doesn't like (for example, he laid off a guy that has been with the company for over 20 year! YIKES) and needless to say, my husband is also on that list. SO you can imagine what I was thinking when he walked thru the door at 8:30pm, instead of 11:30pm. The first words out of my mouth were "did you get laid off?" Thankfully he did not. Once I realized that, I gave a huge sigh and then thanked my lucky stars that he was home. I had thought about calling him and asking him to come home early, because I was feeling so over whelmed. But after the long holiday, thought it best not to.
We talked for awhile, and then I happily went to bed. I was so drained that as soon as my head the pillow I was out. Thank goodness.
I am happy to say, that today is a new day, and I will be a stronger person.
Thanks for reading about my hard night. I would have posted last night, but there was no way my kids would have allowed that.
P.S. we found my cell phone. I had called it a few times, hoping to hear it ring, but didn't. When my husband came home he called it too. He was going in our room to see if he could hear it. I was heading for the bathroom when I heard it! Glory Be
. I heard it coming from Cheyenne's room! It was buried under clothes and toys. I'm just glad we found it.
Had a hard night, last night (long)
Jennifer you had to to do it
(I'm cheesing just thinking about it).
Thanks for the support ladies
