Random Rant

I have no idea why I am blogging right now. I have so much stuff going on both in my head and on my "to-do list" that I am just immobilized. So, I guess I just need to release some of the "noise" in my head.

I was so annoyed this morning. My children were cranky: my daughter was not happy with her wardrobe selections. My son whined and cried about everything and about nothing. My son decided to glue himself to my heels so that every time I moved I literally tripped over him. I asked him to give me a little bit of space but he said he wanted to be close to me. So....I dealt with it and tried my hardest not to step on him.

Somehow I managed to get them out the door on time, thanks to my husband's abundant assistance (Thank you Sweetie) only to be further annoyed by the massive amounts of Self-Important People (SIPs) on the road. Mind you I have about a half a mile drive to my son's school and I could not believe how many times I was cut-off in this miniscule distance I had to drive. Are you kidding me? What makes your time so much more important than mine? Common courtesy people! Everyone in the car line is trying to get their children to school on time. You are no better than anyone else. Even on the way out these people were not courteous drivers. There are three lanes that need to merge. It should work like a four-way stop sign, except there are only three lines. First line, second line, third line. It's so simple. Is it really going to save you more than three seconds to cut-off someone. You are going to be at the same red light in about a minute anyway! Relax and get a grip SIPs!

While I am ranting, I need to release some frustration about my nearly perfect husband. It really annoys me that in my moments of weakness he backs off. HELLO...this is when I need extra TLC. Over the weekend I had lots of stuff going on. I caught my son's cold, I was exhausted from a week of caring for my sick son, an extra couple days of "no school" and from over extending myself, my period is late, I am fighting off that monthly depression thing and I had severe dizzy spells. So instead of being kind, loving and nurturing he was cold and distant. Not good.

I understand that he is frustrated with work and having to pick up the slack at home because I was down for the count but I have needs too. He took my daughter to a birthday party and my sick son and I strayed home which means that I had another full day of work instead of a re-coup day. I was not expecting anything except for some TLC. We all need it. Not just the kids.

OK...I am just getting more and more stressed. I am going to go kiss my dog.
