where I need to hear something good. Today I want nothing to do with my family. Husband and children are making me insane and slightly depressed. Ugh. I hate these days!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks every one! I had a cocktail while making dinner and did some yoga and baking (I'm weird in that baking and cooking - without kids at foot - calm me down) after bedtime. Here's hoping tomorrow is a good day for every one!

hhhhmmm...would a joke do? Here's a joke for you!!

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.

This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested. ... The case came up in court.

The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. .

The man replied, 'Well your Honor, it was like this...when the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition.

She sat down under a sign that said, ‘The Double Mint Twins are coming' and I grinned.

Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling,' and I had to smile.

Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, 'William's Big Stick Did the Trick,' and I could hardly contain myself.

But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, 'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!' .... I just lost it!

I sooo get that!! There are times my "men" drive me insane!!! Take a walk...take a deep breath...or put them out on a walk!!!!

I agree with Angela.....leave and go take an hour or so to yourself at a quiet place. Or take a hot bath with bubbles and candles.
You're a good mom and wife! You should smile and believe that everyday!

(sorry had to revise my answer because I had to take dinner out of the oven earlier before I finished, lol)

Okay so on days like that, whenever my kids call me I tell them "Mommy is not on shift today. Go to your Daddy. I am taking my own break today."

Then, make a poster called "Husband's TO DO LIST" and give it to your Hubby. Or, just tape it to the fridge or the wall.

May I be your best friend today? 3 year old was a holy terror, and 7 year old did something so disgusting that I literally burst into tears (after his sister reported it to me) because it was so out of character, and made me feel like a complete failure as a parent.

Hugs, and hopefully tomorrow will be better!

One day, I got home after a long day, looking forward to a fond welcome from my delightful family. I open the door, and my coat is not even off, when my darling 4 year old son looks at me and begins to wail. What's wrong, I ask. "Daddy said I could watch movies 'til you came home!" So I turned on my heel and grabbed my purse, as poor implicated Daddy comes around the corner. He takes one look at me and says, "Hey! Where are you going?" I respond, "Well, I'm not staying here!" taking care to not let the door hit me on the way out.

I ended up taking myself out to a nice Chinese restaurant and returned home an hour later to a much more appreciative child. Now, when I come home, Daddy gives a little prompt, "Mommy's home! What do we say when Mommy gets home?"

So it's all good...but boy, in the moment, was I ever taken aback to get trumped by frickin' Max & Ruby and that insufferable Caillou!
