The Bad Day Chronicle
Normal morning, Normal Coffee, and it was a brand new day. What could go wrong? You would think after having 2 kids, a husband and Cat who thinks he owns this house. I would have stopped telling myself this will be a good day! And you may think I’m an optimist for saying that. I’m not. I just try to pretend that crazy things won’t happen and this time I won’t end up in the corner crying my eyes out.
I should preface this by saying my kids are just about to be 2 ( 1 month shy) and 4 Months old. But really they are more like 1 year mentally in a 4 month body ( she wants to walk and play with her brother) and 7 because he thinks he can keep up with his older cousins when he can barely speak the same language so he gets mad and tantrums about 90 times a day.
That paragraph alone should be enough for me to stop telling myself that today could be a good day. It’s never a good day. It’s never a bad day either. It’s just a day.
But today emotionally felt more intense. In a hard way.
Me working my 9-5, trying to also fit in GBRLIFE and having my daughter on my lap...with my sons kindle charging, coffee and my daughters formula. Welcome to my life
My son was doing his normal things but he’s into screaming and when he isn’t screaming he’s whining about something and this Mama is trying to stay calm about it but also make sure he learns how to talk because 2 is right around the corner and I need to make sure those 50 words and his ability to show me where his eyes, ears, nose and mouth are… is possible! And today was my Daughters 4 month check up, so that meant vaccinations. I’m not an anti-vaccines but I hate having to bring my kids for them because shots aren’t fun for kids…and I hate that they don’t know until it happens and it ruins their happiness! And it’s Monday.
So vaccination day, Whiney terrible 2’s, and a supervisor who keeps making my abilities about my kids. Hello we are in a meeting! Why are you asking me about my kids! Lets talk about the JOB I’m getting done!
Needless to say, after my son screamed for the 100th time, and I fell into his highchair spilling everything because I was trying to send an email back to a coworker who needed information quickly so I rushed getting my son out of his highchair(he was just fine, got him out before I fell) and my daughter crying because she didn’t feel great after her shots…I found myself in the corner crying again.
Then the landlord ( buying officially sounds like a better idea) decided to tell us less than 24 hours before, that someone will be coming to spray the yard for bugs. No biggie if my son didn’t love to play in the yard, so now I know tomorrow is also going to suck too...But that’s momlife.
And here is where it made a difference…At least my husband did the doctor visit today instead of me. I got about 15 minutes to myself after putting my son to take his nap while they were at the doctors today. And 15 minutes is amazing!
I’m a grateful mom to have my two beautiful kids, and I’m in love with them completely. I miss that little whiner when he sleeps and my girl is just such a cute little crying bundle of joy. My husband is just as into everything as I am, so I’m not alone.
But today wasn’t great.
Off to get my Website back to normal…there was that too but there is only so many words I can say about how bad this day really has been…and my son is now crying in the middle of the night…who said this mama needed any sleep? : I
