Just when I think I've got it all wrong....

Something happens that flips my feelings upside down and I think maybe, just maybe I am doing at least a few things right. Being a mom is hard. That is for sure. Someone should have warned me about that. I think of those sweet babies, sleepless nights, teething, wanting to be held 24/7 and I think of how hard I thought that was...

Now what I wouldn't do for a sleepless night and a baby on my hip instead of what goes on most days in this house in place of that now. Wow. Is all I can say. If your currently expecting, do yourself a favor and just keep the baby inside :)

Seriously though, life is good. For the most part. Today I took off Pawlies Ecollar he's been wearing for the last 3 weeks. He's happy about that. So am I. He looks almost like a normal cat again, well except that he has half his fur missing along with one leg. Other than that, he looks normal. He is happy to be able to clean himself again.

So the weekends nearly over.... As happy as I was to see it here, I am happy its almost over. I am ready for the kids to go back to school, to get my routine back in full force with making dinner, hitting the gym, homework and all that fun stuff... Mostly I am ready to have the "me" time at night, that is not also "mom" time.

Its not always 50/50

Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter. So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well. God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family. So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

Done Growing

Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress. So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless. So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
