Any of you have moments like this? I do. Ocassionally. Not often, and not always, but sometimes. I have a tendancy to drag it out, but for a few brief moments today, I felt defeated. I got over it, but it came back...to bite me!
It's not important what I felt defeated about, and quite frankly, if I tried to explain it, you'd probably all laugh! Anyhoo, it's been a long day. It's going to be a long month, and I'm tired.
I decided I wear myself out stressing over things I have no control of. I stress about events that aren't even going to happen for two weekends, and end up wasting this weekend...it's driving me crazy!!! I've no recolection to having this 'problem', but it's so odd!
I'm looking forward to:
Throwing away my alarm clock. I've had it since I was seven (I got it for Christmas so I could 'wake myself up' to practice the piano before school - and my dad STILL had to get me out of bed because I would sleep through the blaring alarm.) and it's sentimental, but I just read a letter that came with my utility bill that says it's using electricity. Who wudda' thought! Since I only use it to guage how much time I have left to sleep every time the kids wake up, I'm tossing it. I have an alarm on my cell phone anyhow.
Sewing this weekend. At enrichment tonight we made dresses for Humanitarian Aid. It was quite a fun evening, with sisters cutting, pinning and sewing. I haven't sewn in months, and it was quite nice and relaxing...until Taylor woke up crying (sorry everyone for the disturbance) and Tanner miraculously escaped from the nursery. Go figure! I am looking forward to finishing up the dress I started and completing a few more, and maybe sewing Tanner's Halloween "Super Tanner" cape...we'll see.
Pay Day. Every two weeks money appears in my account, and the next day it is gone. How does that work? Just kidding. I know how that works. I'm not that dense, but sometimes I have to wonder (I know Ryan does!). I am looking forward to buying diapers and wipes, and some much needed groceries!
Tanner being potty trianed. I definatly jumped the gun in like February, when I 'knew-Tanner-would-be-potty-trained' because he peed in a little potty by himself. Maybe I really am dense! Who knew! I think he really wants to, but "why?" if mom and dad will change your bum and let you pee in the bath water...that's fun, right?
Bed. I'm on my way. My boys are all tucked in, so after I put the washed clothes in the drier, I'm hittin' the sack! I'll have to unplug the alarm clock in the morning...its plug is BEHIND the matterss!!! What a dumb place for a plug. :)
I feel much better. Thanks for reading my vents, if you got this far! You're troopers!

I'd imagine if you can sleep through a train going at full speed through your driveway, sleeping through an alarm clock is a cake walk ;)
Tanner only escaped the very first time. The other time the men let him go because they wanted nursery to be over with! Shhh! Don't tell! I wasn't supposed to know! Venting is good. We all need to do it sometimes or else we would blow up! Isn't that the purpose of a vent? :)
It just goes to show us all that you are just like the rest of us. Sometimes over tired overstressed and underappreciated. It is how we all feel sometimes. Hope your weekend gets better.
Jewelle - I figured that was what happened - which is why I said Miraculously! I KNOW Tanner cannot open those doors! :) Oh well. I have to say I wouldn't want to be stuck up there without a TV/movie for the kids, either!
