Just feeling like a cranky witch today

Oh, I really feel like biting someone. It was a good day to start with, but now I'm just cranky. It's overcast, and that probably has something to do with it. I think I would be fine if it started snowing, then there would be a point to all the clouds. THe back of the house is friggin cold. It's been a quiet week, and suddenly the phone is ringing off the hook, and everybody's coming to pay rent, or look at a unit. I guess I should be glad people are coming to pay on time for a change, but I'm really not in a mood to be bothered. DS will not stay out of the kitchen, or out of the food. How many times this week am I gonna vacuum crushed bran flakes? I have a gate but he thinks it's only for the baby, and climbs over it. Todays' incident has put me over the edge. What will it take to make him stop? Before you tell me he's hungry, I'll say yeah he is. It's because he doesn't eat what I put in front of him. I put everything away, but he finds something new to get into. He was on restriction all day yesterday for it (restriction here is sitting on bed facing the wall). Other DS had homework where he had to find things that begin with P, and glue them to his paper. So he cut a chunk out of his pillowcase. I know I'll laugh about it later, but it's not that funny at the moment.

It's just one of those grumpy, cranky, leave-me-alone days, and I feel better being able to get it out where you are all so wonderful and sympathetic (DH tends to go into "you should've handled it this way" lectures, and "you shouldn't feel that way" talks). I'm going to get the mail now, and I will be so happy if the W-2's sre in there.

Men feel it is their job to solve your problems as opposed to just listening and letting you handle it. After all, it is easier when you aren't actually involved. Easier to be a critic than to do the job at hand.

Don't feel alone. I'm in one of those moods as well. I have a little nagging headache and I would much rather be anywhere than at work right now.

Let's just run away for 24 hours.

I can totally relate amysusi

My 3yo is the same way and is doing the same things. He doesn't climb over the gate he has figured out how to open it (it's the one that you step down on a pedal and it releases the lock mechanism, so now I have to put a lock on the bars so he can't open it, no more convenient to open and close gate). He likes to get the kitchen chairs and slide them over to the counter and food pantry, No is sa foreign word to him all of a sudden and "time out", spanking etc don't do a thing. At least my DH got me a shark stick vac that makes the clean up of crushed crackers, chips, pretzles you name it a whole lot easier than dragging out the upright. I am exaspirated that he won't stay out of the kitchen, it's driving me nuts and I have been a grump all week as I am sure some of my posts show. I can't even say it's cause he doesn't eat well, he eats what I give him and then goes from there...I am so tired of winter I could just scream and I know being cooped up in the house is part of the problem with us all. My 1 yo has a fever today and has been cutting teeth so he has been a fuss-budget as well and then 3yo likes to hug and prod and pick on his little brother causing him to howl all the more...AHHHHHHHHH Calgon PLEEEEEAAAASSSSSE TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!!!
Sorry to come in on your vent and vent, lol...but I do feel a little better. Hang in there, we will get through this and laugh about it in a few years. Just when you think "I have soooo had it" they go and melt your heart doing someting adorable or giving you a hug and saying "I yove you Mommy"....in the end it's all worth it, but boy sometimes ya just wanna go hide and let Dad take over and let him share in the "fun"!

I so totally agree w/ this and my husband does it too. It irritates me and I know he's only doing it cause he thinks he's doing a good thing and I love him for that but sometimes I wish he'd just hug me and say 'everything is gonna be ok'... I hope your day gets better!!
