Confessions {3.10.2016}

I enjoyed myself so much last week that I thought I would link up again with Jess to get a few more things off my chest.

I confess…

…that I am completely over these last two weeks.  Between Brian travelling, non-stop tantrums from both kids, and Brian and Olivia both being sick it’s been a less than stellar couple of weeks.  I just want a nice weekend this weekend… is that too much to ask?!

… that our kids have been insane these last few weeks.  Is there something in the air?  Spring fever?  Full moon?  Something bad going on in the zodiac?  Bad karma?  Some freakish supernatural weirdness going on?  I mean, seriously!  Y’all gon’ make me lose my mind, up in here, up in here…

…that after 40-something days of pooping only on the potty and no accidents (finally) Jacob has pooped in his pants three times this past week.  On purpose.  I mean, I just want to snatch him up and say, “WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOOOOU?!  YOU’RE ALMOST FIVE YEARS OLD!!!!  STOOOOP IIIIT.”  Remember that poo-poo party that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago?  Yeah, that’s been cancelled until further notice.  (I know you were all dying to hear about it, but we’ll have to save it for another day.  Hehe.)

…that after all of the crap that’s happened in the last couple of weeks I’m about ready to skip town.  I need an adult only vacation, like, yesterday.

…that I’m starting to hate working full-time outside the home.  I never thought that I was the stay at home momma type, but now that Jacob is in real school and not daycare it’s been a real pain in the ass trying to figure out who’s going to watch him on all of his 25692004 days off – fall break, Christmas break, spring break, summer break, President’s Day, Easter Monday, National Hot Dog Day (just kidding, I made that one up) – but seriously.  The days off!  AAAAHHHH.  I just want to be available to stay home with him on all those days off, and I want to be able to drop him off and pick him up in the regular car line instead of making him go to the early and after school programs, and most of all, I want to be able to stay home with both of my kids when they’re sick!  I am their mother, and all anybody ever wants when they’re sick is their mother.  Is that too much to ask?  Not to mention it would also be nice not to have to worry about juggling my work schedule for doctor’s appointments, early dismissals, and class parties either.  And then I could even volunteer at the school or be the room mom, too!  Sigh… maybe one day…

All this being said, overall, we are so incredibly blessed and I know that we have nothing to complain about compared to some people.  However, everybody is entitled to a little whining every now and then and it feels good to let it all out.  Thank you, Jess, for this outlet.  I'll try to keep it a little more lighthearted next week.  Haha.
