I don't want to be a mom today

camrude

Today is my day "off" from work and I stay home with the kids. Normally it's fine, but I've been a single mom all weekend and I'm exhausted. I woke up with a headache and already everything is annoying me.

I just want to be by myself. No noise, no one hangning on me. Just me.

Flame me, kick me in the interwebz a*s, tell me I should be grateful I get to spend so much time with me kids....:::sigh:::

I kind of feel the ooposite. I had a great weekend w/DD and am back at work and miserable. I wish I were home with my baby today, I miss her already! Oh and I have an awful headache too.

Can you find some crafts to give them to do?

We all have those days. DH has been traveling for a portion of each week for the past 6 weeks. I KNOW how you feel.

I'm with you on the headache. We had a busy weekend and I am just exhausted. Last night was a tough night with the kids and I was ready to come to work today just for a break.  Last thing I want to do is be here right now but at least I am having a little break.

::hugs:: I know the feeling. I am craving at least 2 hours of quiet time so bad.

I felt the same way yesterday.  I was trying to get things done and it wasn't working. Everything was just getting more messed up.  I have 5 projects I really want to do, I could do them all in 8 hours, if I had 8 straight hours to work, but I don't have 5 minutes straight.

OMG, this exactly!

Awww...hang in there. We all have those days. When I go to work on MOndays I miss them and want to be with them. But the Monday's when I'm home all I want is some quiet time. We always want the opposite.

Maybe its a good morning for some cartoons or something they can do to entertain themselves for a while.

Dear God, do I know that feeling.

I have GOT to get the bedrooms painted. We've been in the house 2 months, and I can't set up new furniture and hang drapes until the rooms are painted. Wanna know what I have had time to do? Paint the insides of the closets. <sigh>

I hate the feeling of having one million things to do and not enough time.  My car has been begging to be cleaned inside...dusted, vacuumed, windows, etc.  And I just can't find the time to do it right.

I know the feeling & know it sucks but be happy you don't have to always do it alone & feel that way a majority of the time. I don't mean for that to come off b*tchy so I apologize if it does. Hope you feel better soon.
