I stumbled across this site as I was attempting to take a 5 minute break from my usual hectic day. I think I may have Googled "Moms, wine consumption, and/or padded walls for sale". My oldest was supposed to be having "quiet time" in his room, but today it seemed he would rather be around me (what else is new) and drag a toy car irritatingly back and forth on the table in front of me... anything to get my attention. My youngest was in his bedroom, overtired, cranky, and the perfect background noise for my pounding headache.
It's not like I don't love my job, believe me, my boys are my world. It's just that a happy mama is the best kind of mama, and today I am not feeling my best. I am staring at a pile of laundry that my oldest, Nathan is currently sitting on. My baby, Ollie, is frustrated that he can't climb on the couch, is whining and dripping an orange Popsicle everywhere. Oh, did I mention that Ollie never went down for a nap? Hence, the pop to keep him content. Sigh. Thank God for Peppa Pig right now.
There is a glimmer of hope! Some girlfriends and I are going to a local bowling alley for ladies night! $5 martinis and moms throwing heavy balls should make for a great stress reliever. Where would moms be without ladies night out?! The thought scares me... I just hope I have the energy to make it out the door in one piece, or at least without some orange sticky mess on the back of my shirt. I better go, the boys are getting destructive right now...
