This has been the week form H#$%! We were away w/o kids Fri - Sun in PA for a wedding. We had not been back up there in 4 years so we had a lot of visiting to do plus the wedding and was exhausted when we got home late Sun night. Monday I played catch up with work since I was off Friday. It is the first week of the month and I get slammed from one client at that time then Tuesday is invoice day for another so Mon & Tues were insane! DD got sick Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon was spent at the pediatricians. Wed DH woke up deathly ill to the point he could barely move. He is still down for the count and DD is on her 2nd antibiotic since she had an allergic reaction to the first. She is still cranky, but better. Now my almost 6 DS is at a very trying stage! I can't get him to pick up after himself or keep his playroom cleaned up. Plus he is soo sassy! I take away privileges, punish him and he it barely phases him! Tonight he decided he wanted to try climbing his dresser and toppled the whole thing over! PLus it is about mid-month and that is when finances are very tight and is stresses me...I love bookkeeping & being able to be flexible& be home with my kids, but it is weeks like this that drive me crazy! UGH! TGIF, hopefulyl I will have a calm weekend!

Sorry to hear your week is rough.

Put those kids down, give the DH a hot toddie, lite up some of those good smellin glad candles and go soak in a hot bath with a HUGH glass of wine.

Sounds like you need some ME time!!

I'm sorry you had such a crappy week! Keep your chin up though, all your hard work will pay off in the end!! I agree with lifeworthliving-get yourself a drink and take a nice long bath!!!

aww..sorry you had such a bad week! my niece got sick too..my sister said its almost like the flu..now my other niece and her are sick..so it must be something going around greenville! i hope this weekend is much better!

Thanks everyone, today is better! DH is dealing with DS & I am doing laundry after AFC that is

I glad to hear that everyone is feeling a bit better. When my kids were little, I would try to find time to take a nice long hot bath. Take a book with me and just try to escape for about 20 minutes. It help so much.

I generally do try to do that, but this week was so insane I couldn't even find time for that I need to go get some more wine today! 1-2 glasses a night helps tremendously!

So glad you are feeling better. Mondays generally stink! I find I get cranky when I don't get any me time. I am with my kids 24/7, never get a break, and while i love them dearly and love being with them, sometimes I just need 20 minutes on the computer to unwind every now and then, or a CVS run, or a nice hot bath. After that, I am a happy mommy again.

I generally get my me time after 9 pm. Sometimes it envolves laundry or emptying the dishwasher, but that is ok as there are no kids! I generaly have the kids 24/7 with DH being around for a half hour in the mornings and then every other weekend. I think with him being sick as well as DD it has been a hard week trying to juggle everything. I am already planning next week! LOL! Today was great! DH supervised playroom cleanup, I put the kids laundry away, a little AFC, HOA newsletter, kids are eating so I can sneak in a little more AFC. Tomorrow is a family brunch then my DS is going bowling with his cousins so that means I will get me time while DD is napping! Yeah!
