Vent!Why? Things were going so well...

Last week was insanely busy, but went quite well. I caught up on everything at school and went on a road trip Friday to attend a college visit day that was quite enjoyable.

Aside from a minor meltdown last Sunday night, where DH and I exchanged some tense words and made up, I had basically held it together all week.

So here's the weekend and DD woke up crying at 4:30am, could not go back to sleep, so she snuggled next to me on the couch and watched her cartoon movie (my Scooby Doo addict). This is not normal for her at all and she is sick with a bad cough and sore throat, so I think that was the problem. Anyway, I ended up really sleep deprived today as well.

After I got up, that anxious, under my skin, irritability started up. All the undone housework bugged the heck out of me. Little stuff seemed to all go wrong. DD was also extra cranky and clingy all day. DH helped a lot, but was also wearing down by afternoon and was annoyed because he wanted to leave and spend the afternoon gaming with friends and I was like, no I don't want to be stuck with a sick kid and a messy house by myself the rest of the day, especially since I feel pretty awful myself.

Oh, and my car went into the shop this morning and costing $450+ to fix.

So anyway around 4:30pm I started to feel kind of hungry and sometimes my blood sugar will bottom out in a hurry. So we were out dropping off the car and went through McDonald's drive through, I ordered two apple pies and as we were driving away, I opened them up and they are burned to an unappetizing crisp. I tried a corner and it was really burned and dried out, so who knows how many hours that took in the pie heater or whatever. So we go back and returned them. Long story short-I ended up without pies. We went home and decided to go back out to eat. (not a good decision in retrospect) DH and DD both seemed to have issues getting ready to leave the house again. We arrived at the restaurant and DD was asleep in her carseat! We both knew better than to wake her (sick and missed her nap, just like Mommy). So then there was a butting of heads over where to eat and we both started snapping, I sort-of had one of my anxious snits and we ended up back at home and not very happy.

Actually DH and I made up, but I felt like crud about the day.

So I'm here at the computer venting, just now and DH walks in with a spiced Chai tea as a treat from Coffeesmith's. Sometimes I don't think I deserve this guy! I did get something to eat and I think my "balance" is finally returning.

I'm just like Geez...I made it through the week, why can't I get a break and be able to relax on the Weekend. I'm hoping tomorrow is a better day.

Have a goodnight all!
