I hate my life today.

Staying at home full-time is no joke.  Add to that being broke and I'm stressed the eff out.  On top of THAT, our dog is having her freaking poochie period despite being spayed and if she runs the house, she gets it everywhere.  If she's outside or crated, she whines (understandably).  Yesterday, H and I battled her and got a pair of Law's underwear with a pad in them on her, but I don't think I can get that done myself.  So, she's whining.  AND, Andersen is teething -- getting all four eye teeth -- and he's an absolute trainwreck.  He's throwing fits left and right and just so fricking whiny.  I've been trying to wean, but that's not going very well when it's the only thing he wants to eat right now.  I can't get anything done around the house because he clings to my legs and cries unless I pick him up.  On top of it all, I have my period and am a hormonal, moody mess. 

Apparently H forgot to make our car payment because they just called, saying it's past due.  Law was whining, Andersen was crying and the caller could barely speak English.  She kept insisting I make the payment right.this.minute (at least that's what I think she was saying.)  I told her I couldn't deal with it right now since my kids and dog were losing it and please call me back a little later, but she kept pestering me about it.  That was IT.  I yelled at her and hung up.  I mean, seriously.  We've never been late before and we WILL pay it.  Today even.  Just not right this fvcking minute.

I'm sorry. I am right there with you today. Honestly, I could never stay home full-time. As much as I love my kids, I know it's better for me to go to work.

Hope your day gets better and you get a little break!

(I did have to laugh at the visual of the dog with Law's underwear and pad on. Did you get a pic of that?)

Gah!  What a rotten morning! 

I've never heard of a that happening with a spayed dog.  That sucks.  Can you lure her into a bathroom or crate to contain the mess?

I hope your day improves!  Maybe pop the kids in the stroller and take a little walk?

I'm sorry you're having a rough day.  I hope you get a break soon!  Can you plan some time for yourself?  Do you have anyone who could watch the kids for an hour so you can escape for just a little while?  Even if it's just to drive to the park and read a book?  There is no harder job than being a SAHM.  I don't have it in me, and I commend you for doing it.  Hang in there!

mom2one

uh...if your dog is spayed and bleeding from her vagina she needs to go to the VET

*Amy*

Sorry your day sucks.  When I am having a day like that I pop the kids in the car and go for a drive.  The kids are contained and I get a change of scenery I need for a few.  You won't hear the dog whining from the crate for a bit that way too.  Hope your day looks up.

The vet is pretty sure she was spayed while she was in heat. She just had a check up last week and had other symptoms that indicated that was the case.

Every once in awhile I have a day with DS when I think I could do the SAHM thing. But 99% of the time I know there's no way I could do it. I love our weekends together, but I'm usually dying to get him off to daycare first thing Monday morning so I can relax. Work is definitely something of a break for me.

I hope your day gets better! (((hugs)))

HUGS, sounds like a rough day! Honestly, I'd put the dog in the crate. Cleaning up doggy blood from all overy new house would put me over the edge. Just make sure she's comfortable and safe and give her a lot of exercise when your Dh gets home. Also, if you can afford, tell DH to put the car payment and others on autopay if he can't remember to pay. It's so easy to forget and it's sooo good on the credit score to not forget .

So Sorry you are having a crappy day.  I hope it gets better.

Sorry you're having a tough day, that sounds hard. I agree with Amy- throw the boys in the car, they'll fall asleep, and you'll have some peace and quiet.

SAH is easy peesy when you have money.

Not so much when you are broke.

As I "remind" Joe of often, in the past, if I was stressed....there was always retail therapy.  That's a thing of the past for me now so I have to find other coping mechanisms.

At any rate, ((((HUGS))))

And I ditto Amy....get in the car.  Kids contained, you can just take a nice drive.  Go get a coffee and drive around and drink it.  That will give the dog some time in the crate (and you don't have to hear the whining), and maybe the boys will even nap a bit in the car.

I've been SAH for a few years now, and it never gets easier.  We don't have a lot of extra cash right now either, so I feel you there.  When I have days like that, I usually throw the kids in the stroller and take a walk.  Or, take them to the park and let them work off their energy.  And, I hate the park, so when I go, then it's been a really bad day!

I hope your day gets better.  There's nothing worse than being stuck in a situation like that all damn day.

Ugh, sounds like a bad day!  I don't think its normal for your dog to bleed if she's spayed though.  I've worked at an animal hospital for 15 years and have never heard of that happening.  Even if she was spayed while she was in heat she shouldn't bleed now.  How old is she?  Does she do this often?  Sounds like they should go back in and see if they missed something...

I hope your day gets better!

You might want to double check with your DH on the car payment.  Today on another board a girl got a call from their electric company and the caller said they were overdue and needed to pay immediately.  She paid and then called her DH to tell him he didn't pay it.  It wasn't due yet and it was a scam.
