Rough Week Vent

aliska

DH left on Sunday for 5 weeks.  It has been a rough week trying to manage keeping up the house, taking care of K, taking care of our two dogs, and working two jobs.  I feel like a chicken with my head cut off.  Plus K is sleeping like crap this week (up 4 times a night...I'm a zombie).

Oh, and I am hosting a birthday party for my best friend on Saturday.  It is just cake, wine, and a handful of people...but I am still stressed. 

Yesterday while I was cutting cheese for lunch, I sliced my finger and almost cut the tip of my finger off.  I probably should get a stitch, but it didn't bleed too bad, and it doesn't hurt much.

On Wednesday I looked at my lawn and wonderd how in the heck am I supposed to mow this with a baby??  Not an hour later, a neighbor boy rang my doorbell and offered to mow my lawn for $5.  I gave him $15 for the front and back.  I seriously could have kissed him...but then he probably wouldn't have mowed my lawn.

All of these things are small worries...I know.  Everything was put in perspective for me on Tuesday when my cousin went to her 20 week ultrasound excited to find out the gender of her baby, and there wasn't a heartbeat.  I feel horrible for them.

Thanks for listening to me vent.  Only 2 weeks until I get to visit DH!!

I'm sorry you have been having such a hard time. My DH is about to go away for a week and I am stressed about it too. Hang in threre, you'll be proud of yourself when you get through it and see that you all did just fine.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin. That is absolutely heartbreaking.

I had a rough week too, but I am really feeling for you here. Single parenting is no joke. So glad you had a sweet neighbor boy to help you get the lawn mowed!! Did you book him for the rest of the summer? Lately, I feel like I can't commit to anything (like the party you are hosting - heck no - way too much work) Life is just too crazy with work and baby.

So sorry for your cousin's loss too, so sad. I had a coworker with an ectopic pregnancy last week who had to be treated with a chemo drug to miscarry. I feel so horrible for her too.

Wow, that made me want another glass of wine!!
