Just one of those weeks
Let me start with the fact that i love my life, my husband, my son. The fact that i am lucky enough to be able to be a SAHM and study full time.
But sometimes i just want to go back to bed and cry. Sometimes the meltdowns my son has started having over the last 2 months is too much and i just want to lock myself in the bathroom.
Everyday is the same routine.
•Wake up.
•Make coffee.
•Make breakfast.
•don't drink that delicious coffee i just made, but instead let it go cold and then repeat.
•Then my niece comes over because i watch her every morning and drop her at daycare.
•Deal with a screaming toddler and a 4 year old with apparently painted on ears for 2 hours.
•Drop niece at daycare and struggle to get her to let me leave.
•Go to the shop and pick up whatever we need.
•Come home and clean the house while listening to said screaming toddler have a meltdown because he wants his dummy (currently trying to get it off him)
•Make lunch
•Not get to eat my lunch
•Clean house again
•Go to park or something to occupy the toddler so he doesnt have a meltdown again
•Witness yet another meltdown for no reason
•Snack time
•Clean house AGAIN
•Nap time (study, not eat, or do laundry)
•Meltdown friggin hour
•Make dinner
•Not get to eat dinner until its cold
•Clean up
•Shower
•Bed and spend most of the night trying to get said toddler to go back to sleep again
I literally feel like my husband comes home from work and is just like "oh my life is so hard i work 8 hours and you want me to deal with our son blah blah blah"
I appreciate that he works and is exhausted, but i used to work 14 hour shifts, every single day, right up until i had our son and i still haven't felt like my life is going anywhere!
JUST. HELP. ME. OUT. HERE. I seriously need you to offer to do dishes. Or just clean up while i do them. Anything apart from sitting in front of the TV ignoring me and your son!!!
But again, i love that i can stay home with my son. Especially on the good days!
