Grumpy
I know, I know, how can I be grumpy when I look at that face??
But I have had a grumpy week and I am not sure why. Fighting boys, everyone now feeling better but being lazy and not getting anything done. I feel like I am constantly reminding them to pick up their trash, their toys, all of their crap. What happened to the fun carefree days of summer that I was so looking forward to?
I miss the beach- having lots of stuff for the boys to do, lots of hands to help with Eva.
I am letting little things annoy me WAY too much- you know when you get mad about something or someone and you IM your husband to complain about it and he responds with “chillax” Sigh. Easy for him to say, I don’t want to chillax, I want to complain. I’m frustrated! I know it wasn’t a huge thing (not the “chillax”- but the event that made me mad in the first place), but all the little things sometimes add up- ya know? I could feel the tears spring to the back of my eyes with the frustration of it all. Why can’t people give a little, why does it feel like it is always me?
Ok, pity party over.
Today I am going to make a huge effort to try a little harder. Snap out of my moodiness, not rely on others- not let them control my mood.
These should help
Off to shake it all off.

I felt the same way after we had our 3rd daughter. I would almost drive me insane that the living room was a mess. I remember being so mad about things that were no big deal.
I blamed it on the hormones but… after I have been reading your posts have got me thinking. Maybe it’s not the hormones as much as the lack of sleep, the overwhelming feeling a new baby brings, and the total disruption of your normal schedule. None of these things are bad, because heck in return you have your beautiful baby. It’s just that I think all of these things take a toll.
So hang in there. Try to let things go (which for me was very, very hard). Enjoy this time it goes by way too fast, as you very well know.
Take care.

I had one of those days on Monday. And it wasn’t easy to shake off either!
I need alittle Eva…..man oh man she is so sweet.
I think sometimes we just have to remind ourselves that we are human.
You’ll have to post a video so we can hear her sweet little laugh.

We are just past a full moon cycle. That alone can set me off. Sending a hug to you by immediate-mail (whatever that is).

I’m glad you let it out. I feel your frustrations. We just moved, with a crawler, and I am the one here dealing with the tantrums over being told no since we want to be in everything, while my husband goes to work. Then he comes home and I have been snipping because of the stress. I know things will get better once we are back to a more normal place. I know things will be the same for you guys. I can only imagine what is it like to adjust to a new baby while having three other ones who rely on you. You’re doing great.

I get that way too and I think every woman I know with kids feels that way. It’s good to vent and get it off your chest. Sometimes it just builds up in me and I get so angry and then I start laughing b/c sometimes I don’t even know exactly what it is that is pissing me off in the first place. A good laugh always makes me feel better. Hope your day is good and for the rest of this week. And man, that lil girl. I honestly get goosbumps looking at those pics of her. Words just can’t explain the amount of cuteness she has!!
