Ellen get a piece of thick plywood and put it under the mattress. that should buy you some time or maybe get an air matttress to put on top of it or foam made for the bed.
I have not been doing too good today i ate a hole box of chocolate. Anyway my son is driving me crazy. he has had about 10 time outs today and about 5r 6 for the same thing. I was just in tears and have had it and can't take it anymore. I hate being a mother cause alls he does is argue with me on everything. he had to behave and listen for 2 hours this morning in order to get mcdonalds (so he can play in the playhouse) and he couldn't even do that. he keeps letting the dog in my bedroom to annoy the cats (cats/dog doesn't get along) and i go in there to find the dog on my bed. he knows that is the only room he is not allowed. I asked him to pick up his cars if he wanted his trains and he aruged with me and i took the trains away. the cars are still laying on the floor. my husband just came in. thank god!
Karyn ~ Do you have a treadmill or is your only exercise option walking outside? I think it would be awesome for you to get some exercise in and vent your frustration that way!! Plus, it would give you something personal to feel good about on days when being a Mommy just sucks (we all know it does some days).
I made it to the gym today and it felt really good. I haven't been in a few days so I was happy to get there. I hope you all have a great day!!

Karyn~take heart, some days are just awful. I had one of those yesterday too. I called my mom in tears, but she helped me through it and Today hs been much better. I am not allowing my girls to push me around. They did not want to pick up their legos and when I said I would throw them out they said fine..Just get me mad. BUt Instaed of getting mad I picked up sll the legos and put them on the high shelf in the garage. I talked to Dh and he said not to throw them out, but he would put them in the attic. So they no longer have the legos' to play with.
DH and I also discussed getting a new mattress, so I will be happy with a regular mattress, but I wish we could spend the money and get a temperpedic. My mom has one and the cruise had them in the staterooms. I slept like the dead every night. But to buy us more time I think we will get a new mattress, a friend of ours has a wholesale place and he sold us the matresses for our kids and they are kind of nice. I just hope he delivers, we don't have our truck anymore and it will not fit in our van.
Let me share with you ladies what i did the morning so far. its 7:45 now and i got up an hour ago. I got to clean up powdered sugar all over my floor cabinets, the fish tank, the dogs cage and yes don't forget the dog! He is 4 this should not be happening at 4. He usually doesn't wake this early but sometimes when he does i wake to a disaster. Anyone want to switch lives with me for a week!
I declare today..... Canadian National Day of the Domestic Goddess..... all of our homes will be cleaned by professionals, dinner cooked by a gourmet chef, children cared for by super nanny,we all go out for a spa day and the sleep at a fancy hotel on 200 count egyptian sheets.
We Canadians really do need a holiday in February.
Oh karyn~I ahve had many a morning like that. Right now, they just like to come in and wake me up. I feel for you...The other day My dd ate the butter in the butter dish! Yuck! and left a greasy tral behind her...I have two hand prints on my wall from her, that I can't got off. These littles one really challenge the patience. ((hugs))
Yes! I love Mr. Clean Eraser. t has gotten so much off my walls. I do need to go get some more, I had forgotten all about them.
I am doing ok, but I am not feeling very motivated. I am going to do my best today, and hopefully will have more energy tomorrow. Although, I feel like I am coming down with DS's cold. Middle DD has it now, and DS is better went to school today. I can just feel everything in my head,a nd I am so tired. I have been pushing the vit C and eating a ton of pineapple. DH and I are going to figure out this gym stuff this week. I really hope we can afford it and Like going. Later chicas
Okay, I logged on this morning and realized my goal date is May13th a party i have to go to, and realized that I only have march and april to accomplish it, and my weight this morning was the same as last week, yes its only wednesday, so after my coffee, I grabbed my taebo tape and to my surprise i did about 20 minutes out of a 27 minute tape. I feel so good. My nose was burning tho.. from breathing so hard, but I did it. It was a start Now I have to keep it up right?
