I feel like a bad mom today :(

My emotions are so whacked out. I have the shortest fuse.Poor DD is getting the brunt of it. I just feel so irritated all the time.DH is in Cali and I just want to scream.

I wish I had family around I could leave her with for maybe just an hour so I could just breathe. My emotions need a break.

Do you have any kids in the neighborhood, or acquaintances you would trust to babysit her for a bit?

I know how you feel, our family is on the other side of the country and a lot of friends in the area are not good babysitters.  (Example: our friend Tony thought that at 15 months old, DS was ready to just have a can of Coke and a whole slice of pizza.  That would not have ended well  lol)

We've had really good success with SitterCity.com.  Although the rates in our area is spendy ($20 an hour!  Babysitting plus ticket prices and going to the movies is like $100!!), but sometimes you just need to take a break

LOL I know! He wanted me to come but the flight would have possibly been a nightmare if we didn't do an overnight flight.

He flew into long beach then went up to Oxnard. He took a ferry over to some island where they are having a race. He is racing tomorrow.

Girl you are so not a bad mommy! I feel your pain! I'm sooooo irratible and sad to say my 3 boys do hear some of it. They are into stuff all day long or fighting with each other or screaming and i get home from work from an awful job were ppl irritate me all day ( so not my boys fault) And sometimes it is sooo hard to just walk away and count to 10. I find my self doing that a lot lately. Def think i need to invest in a new job and maybe a sitter a day out of the week so i can relax and have just me time! I know that sounds selfish but my gosh with 3 boys sometimes i sure feel like i need it!!! Hope you get a break soon girl!

This exactly... 

My DS is two, and into everything, of course... and I'm just so TIRED. He he's really starting to hit his Terrible Two's... so my patience is really thin right now, because I'm so exhausted. (for no other reason other than the fact that the LO#2 is in there cooking.) I feel so bad for DS, but I'm a SAHM and student... and no family here with us either. (Yay, the life of an Army Wife!)
