My day..........

**Suzy** · 08-21-2008, 11:36 AM

I am blue. I am sad. I want to cry. I want to go back to bed and maybe try again tomorrow.

My house can be cleaner. Cup in the sink that I didn't see sitting on Dh bedside table. Already cut dishwasher on. Could wash it by hand but don't feel like it.

House needs to be swept. Why should I? Kids will be home at 2:45 from school and will need to be swept again.

Did make my bed. That is the only reason I am not getting back into it.

DH and my clothes in washer. But loads more in kids bathroom. Not washing theirs(teenagers). Their responsibility. Long story on that one. Just want to close bathroom door.

Kids need to clean bedrooms. They have been warned. Not done today, I throw out!!!

Supper thawing out. Guess I will start supper after kids get home.

Asked for advise on budget and got some. Sorta felt like everyone coming down on DH for his beliefs. But advise was appreciated.

DSS's will be going to their mom's tomorrow for her weekend visit. Worried!!!! One is asthmatic. She doesn't watch out for him. Oldest is her favorite. When he comes back he will show himself for a few days until he gets settled again. Teenagers??!! This season of my life is just starting.

I am a bundle of nerves. Mainly over 3 SS's. Concerned over them constantly.

Disappointed in myself because I don't worry over DS and DD as much as Steps.

Been feeling lightheaded and dizzy off and on over the past few days. Not normal for me.

Want a vacation from life but can't afford one.

Need cheering up..........................

Well gosh. Sometimes you just need a day off.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hope you get to feeling better soon. Just step back relax and take one thing at a time.

I feel your pain with the SS...I have 2 here with a mom that could care less when they are with her!
I am sorry for your poopy day, I know how you feel though! It will get better, I promise!
If it makes you feel any better, my blood pressure is through the freakin roof because of teenager stress!! I was strictly ordered to do NOTHING by hubby this morning!! And I am feeling like crap!!

hang in there. Things will get better. Try to take some time for yourself today. Spend so time reading or listening to your favorite music.

**Momof3girls** · 08-21-2008, 12:37 PM

Can you get outside for a long walk at least? Exercise and just being outside make me feel better. Have you called your dr. about those symptoms? I hope you feel better.

That was almost my day yesterday, although I won't go into detail because I don't want to play the 'who has a sadder story game' lol. (and I don't have any step kids...lol)

You are doing a great job being mom to your kids (all of them). We moms try hard to be 'perfect' moms but we are far from it. Take a deep breath and repeat after me..."I am the best mom in the world for (insert kids names here), and my house is as clean as it needs to be at the moment." If you spend all your free time wringing your hands about what has not been done, you'll just wind up being a stressed out mommy. Been there, done that.... coming out the other side now... lol

Sounds like it's time to take an hour or two to do whatever the hell you want! Sometimes it's liberating even to just sit and stare into space for a while...

And you might want to walk over to the sink, take a good look at that cup, and laugh good and hard at the fact that you were feeling guilty about leaving it in the sink. It is just a cup.

Suzy I hope you didn't feel I was picking on DH's beliefs. I understand that tithing is very strong in many Christian's minds. But I also know that other Christians believe that tithing is appropriate only when your own house is in order first. It's a personal decision - me, being the heathen atheist that I am - don't agree with tithing being an obligation at all, but thats MY choice, and yours is yours.

Anyway I hope your day improves!

aw Suzy bless you. you just need some me time. and forget about every thing else for awhile.
It will get better!

**LeeCee** · 08-21-2008, 01:32 PM

Try to take sometime for yourself today. Maybe a hot bubble bath, something good to eat, your favorite movie(a funny one would be good).We all go through days like this, we all understand.Hope you will be feeling better soon!

**frugalbabe** · 08-21-2008, 01:54 PM

Three words girl...........deep. dark. chocolate.
Feel better soon!

Suzy everybody has bad days, its ok....... as far as worrying about your dss's more then your own. You have yours with you, your dss's are going someplace else for a few days. They are not with you. When I was raising my sisters kids I worried about them all the time now that they are 25 and 28 I still worry about them...... Don't worry about the house its not going anyplace it will still be there tomorrow.....I promise.....
