Need to Vent

AlishaMay

I am so bored I could just weep!  Lately, I feel like my life is just one endless Groundhog's Day.  Wake up, make a meal, serve a meal, clean up a meal, (repeat two more times.) Throw in some cleaning, baby chasing, more cleaning, some laundry and maybe a few minutes to collect my thoughts, and there you have it, the day is over and by the time I shut my eyes, it's time to start again!

I think it's worse this weekend because it seems like everyone is doing something fun.  Things that we don't have $$ to do right now, or won't work out with two cranky, sick/teething babies.  I know that this is temporary, and I am thankful that I have the opportunity to stay home with my kids, but it's times like these that the sacrifices of vacations, dining out, throwing parties, and just doing fun stuff get me down.

I can relate and I've only been off from work for the summer for a week.  I'm exhausted and in desperate need of a date night or some me time!  In addition to taking care of the girls, the house and cooking all day we're planning their b-day party next wknd (with 80+ guests) and had a yard sale today (it was worth it, we made $320 and cleared out a ton of junk) - but I feel like I'm doing the majority of the work esp. since I'm "off" now and H is working - BUT I feel like I'm working harder than ever!

Are you able to scheduel a BBQ and bonfire with a few friends at their home or yours? festive, fun, social and not too expensive.

If you like, we can try and GTG sometime this summer. I'd love to meet a MoM from the bump. I'm not far from downtown Mpls and I drive all over.

I'm hearing Kate Gosselin's voice because I remember her saying it and I think the exact same thing 3-5 times a day.  It does feel like Groundhog day.  I live for days when DH is home or someone can come visit.  Otherwise it's me, the babies, the TV and the Bump. 

No suggestions.  Just sympathy.
