The weight of the world

Is always on moms shoulders it seems. I've complained about it before but well when is that ever enough? I have to keep complaining right!

I work. No I don't have a full time and part time job.... But when I work I work hard and when I get home, I seldom have time to relax.

Let's take today for example: got up helped get kids around. While Tim took them to school I got ready for work fed the dogs and picked up the trail of things left behind by the kids...

Went to work. Did all my work duties there, after work I had to run to Walmart and get a backpack and various other school supply they still need. Once I am finished at the store it's time to pick up a kid from school. I wait in a long ass line wishing I had peed at the store. Get kid go home.

Once home I Let the dogs out make sure the kids get a snack get things for dinner set out, unload dishes and reload dishwasher oh and I clean the cat box too.

Start getting the chicken ready and realize I forgot a purple binder. Kid calls done with practice. Get her run by 2 different stores one for a binder and one for a rice cooker so I don't burn anymore rice.

Get home again, finally. Prepare dinner, and enough to freeze for another night. Start a load of laundry clean some things out of the fridge, sing and drive the kids nuts, simmer chicken bones and meat to make broth. Serve dinner to 2 kids and eat.

Meanwhile eat dinner, get plate made for hub and remaining 2 children. Put more dishes in dishwasher switch over laundry clean countertops table ect.

Dad gets home and without hardly even telling me hello his ass is in bed watching sports center.

Meanwhile i comb through 2 kids hairs to make sure they have not made any friends at school... Then French braid 2 heads. Tuck the wee one in after snack time and tooth brushing... Clean off the counter top and table one more time.... Fill dishwasher to capacity, delay start it for after shower time. Hand wash crock insert and baking pan and one lonely butter knife. Fight with the boy about him being hungry at bed time and not picking up his dirty clothes I've asked him to do since Monday.... Then fight with him about me not starting his laundry at 10 pm.

Tuck in the boy. Shower. Tuck in one girl. Remind her she needs to do her laundry before my day Sunday... Remind oldest child to turn off tv before going to bed.... Lay down , have a bitch fest via blog because I have no friends....

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 ...
