Rant time! I love everybody, but give me a minute to be!

Alyson

I just need everyone I love to give me one damned minute to not be. All I'm asking is for nobody to want anything from me for ONE MINUTE. I don't wanna feed you, I don't wanna talk, I don't wanna do anything, and I really don't want touched for just a minute.

I feel like Sisyphus, the mountain of housework and baby care is never-ending, and everything wants something all the time. If it's not the baby then hubby wants breakfast ( he works nights so I feed him when he gets home). Or he wants to cuddle, or talk, or dishes and laundry need doing because THEY ALWAYS NEED DOING, or a dog needs out, or a cat needs pet, because nobody loves them, or OH MY GODS THERE'S A DELIVERY MAN EVERYBODY BARK, and the baby's up again and crying.

I love being wife and mom and pet-mom, but sometimes I miss being just me and having nobody want anything from me. I miss being able to treat my needs as a priority sometimes, even if it was on the bottom of the list. Now the list had no bottom, and even if it did, I don't think I'd be on it. I feel like everyone wants a piece of me and I'm running out of me to give.

Hubby is so sweet, and he tries, but he just doesn't get it, and Eevee is so precious and amazing but so demanding, and my fur-kids are so loving, but always so needy. I guess I'm just tired and maybe a bit stressed.
