It has been a lovely long weekend. Now, will tuesday just get here already so that i can send my kids to school. The way they fight. It drives me crazy. Dealing with hitting and screaming is my biggest shortcoming as a parent. I just don't know what to do about it.
Except, new hair.
Will somebody please just save me from these daily chores.
The laundry.
The dishes.
The food. My god, they eat so much food. It makes them beautiful and perfect, but it is so tiresome.
When will it get easier?

I can’t tell you that it gets any easier, but if it’s any consolation, the new hair looks hawt. :)
I hear you!
Those endless daily chores and meal-making are often the most wearying part of life.
I’m with ya, sweetie. I just get so sick of the routine. Except nothing really gets done in my house because my toddler comes along behind me to detruct everything.
Hrmmmph.
Look on the bright side, they could be out of school for the summer, like mine. :|
Hang in there.
Holy shit my kids can eat their weight in food. It drives me insane in the membrane!!
Glad that the long weekend went fairly well, Happy Anniversary, by the way.
I try to remember what it was like when I was a kid, and my big brother was pummeling me like crazy…..it seemed more like a game to us, and we always wondered why our mother intervened. However having had to watch my kid brother and sister for the last couple of weeks, I kind of see the parent side to it all.
Take a few minutes today while the kids are back in school and do something just for you…thats what I’m planning, a nice hot bath with no one to bother me! The chores can wait just a little longer.
Hang in there, and take care Jess.
I walk into my girlfriend’s house, which is spotless and organized,nothing on the fridge, toys with a place (what’s that about). I feel nothing but envy. But I also don’t feel love in her house. The best homes I’ve been in with children are lived in and have an atmosphere of love for one another. Your house has never seemed empty of love. Never been there, but it’s obvious you love your kids more than anything. Thank God for homes like yours. My friend’s son is growing up constrained and stilted. Your kids will be able to give love away, messy house or no. Your doing the most important thing. Schedule a break everyday from the chores. It is not a luxury, not a lazy moment, but oh so necessary to keep going. Like the hair!!
I could have posted this myself……..seriously, word for word!
okay – minus the hair part. It looks great, though!
Wow, gorgeous!
Wish the chores could be easier, definitely. Hang in there! :X
love you
love your hair
happy anniversary

i just discovered your blogsite via schmutzie and wow. the verse chorus verse could’ve been written by me. and we always think we’re the only ones. and i just got my hair cut this wk which was my highlight, in the midst of maintaining a full time job outside of the home, maintaining a 16 yr marriage while raising 3 FRENETICALLY energetic girls (7, 4 & 1). the older 2 tattle & bicker non stop it feels & drives me to drink. really!
and the neverending foodfest & begging? i’m not ashamed to admit that i have thrown my own tantrum in front of them over this.
well, i’m sure we’ll all survive, but you’ll do it w/ great hair!
Jess,
I’ve been follwoing your blog for a while…I had been taking Effexor for a couple years and have decided to get off it. Prior to that I had been on Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Premarin (all and all for the past 10 years). I just want to know who I am without anything. I can be a crazy bitch on the meds or a crazy bitch off them….I’ve been slowly trying to get off the Effexir. Went to the doc last week and she was not happy with me trying to do this. (Less money for her?) Anyway, I am at about 37.5 every 3 days and feel so much better. Sure, the withdrawal symptoms are bad but in the long run I do feel better. We’ll see how it goes when I am totally off all this crap. I’m not suggesting you quit your meds, but I am finding the meds mess you up more than it worth. I’m just looking to find the real me and hope you find the real you as well. You WILL be ok…Love and prayers,
Kat
