...and we're back to me complaining... haha

I am writing this as on officially defeated mother. I concede. They beat me. I give up.
Who do I talk to about sending these kids back to God?

Mark is NEVER allowed to come home and complain to me that hes had a "rough day" at work until he has to clean floating human excrement off a flooded bathroom floor (which was covered in his man-hair and filth

The kid stuff does get easier when they get a bit older and can ask for stuff and get stuff on their own and when you don't have to guess anymore...cause they'll tell you...boy will they tell you. But I sooooo know what you mean. You can be a good mom (and I think you are) without it being natural. I personally think it is a whole lot to deal with at times too. Right now I am looking for a part time job but not anything...something in admin which I can grow into and eventually maybe make into a career but not as easy as it sounds. Been looking for awhile, have been proactive in getting my resume out but I am still looking and not finding or getting (bleh).

...but Obama DID win, and that makes me at least wanna still keep living in this country to see what happens. So that's something. Change is coming and hopefully that will include the economy.

Hugs, Hon. I am here if you need me! Rly!!

Ugh. Thank you so much.
Sometimes (well all the time) I am so thankful your my mom, because the only person around here who I can compare myself to is Marks mom- who "worked three jobs while having two kids and no husband and no help and still managed to buy a house and hang-dry everyones clothes"
I glance over at my month's worth of unwashed clothes and feel like a failure.
You make me feel so much better to know that you dont have to be betty crocker in order to be a kick ass successful mom/ woman.
<3333

PS. Ive been wanting to call you guys for like three days now, but feel weird calling at like dinner time- which is usually when I have time to chat... So when is a good time for you? I read Robs LJ for the first time and holy crap did I miss out on some crazy-ness. <3 Is everything okay there for you guys?

PS. I just reread that first part and SERIOUSLY hope that it comes across as a compliment. Thats how I meant it. lol

You and I should seriously be BFF's. Most of this entry I can totally sympathize with. I am happy being a mom, but I want to do more with my life as well. I'm lucky that Dann is so supportive though. But it is hard watching everyone else graduate and get married when I am still going to school and got married in a courthouse, ya know?

[helloacacia]

Totally!!
haha. Its crazy how much we have in common.
