Mama Drama

hey loves.
it's been a long couple weeks.
dad is still working an obscene amount of hours.
which is good for the bank account.
but not for my sanity our family.

i honestly feel like i'm alone.
and i'm married?
at least if we were divorced,
i would get every other weekend off.
sad. but true?

the boys have been.
well boys.
logan had 12 teeth come in over the past couple weeks.
he is into e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.
he decided walking isn't the cool thing to do anymore
so now he tries to run.
which doesn't work so well
when you haven't even mastered walking to the fullest extent.
between him & hooch
you would think the trash can is the coolest toy ever invented.
luke has been mr bipolar.
one minute he is a monster and then the next he is sweet as can be.
we had a little regression with pt.
but now we are back on track.
except the whole not shutting the door when we tinkle.
so our little brother doesn't find the big bowl of water to play in...
they are both attached to my hips.
or rather....
logan is attached to my hip.
luke is attached to my back.
and liam is attached to my uterus.


i've been on edge lately.
my eye has been twitching.
i cry at the stress.
i laugh at the insanity.
i feel guilty.
i feel blessed.
i feel strong at times and weak at others.
let me be frank.
i'm freaking the f out of the reality of having 3 children.

the other day i saw a very naive girl's fb status 
that sent me over the edge.
'i wish i could get paid to be a sahm,
so i could sit on pinterest all day &
make a new recipe every night for my bd &
my laundry would be caught up &
my house would be clean'
i'm paraphrasing of course.
and trying to be nice.

granted. 
this is a nice thought.
and if you are anything like my husband
who thinks sahms lay on the couch everyday
watching soaps & sipping lemonade.
you would be stupid enough to believe this.
not that i'm calling my husband stupid...
maybe i should of used a word like ignorant.
but do you think he has ever cleaned a toilet or
gone grocery shopping in 5 years?
NO.
that porcelain white toilet cleans itself.
and food just magically appears in the fridge.

i have a lot of negative energy that i need to get out of my system.
or a baby to get out of my belly.
whichever.

i love being a mom.
i really truly do.
and the unconditional love i have for my boys
cannot even be explained in words.
but lawdy.
i can't wait for my first margarita.

these boys are just like their father.
no matter how far they push me.
they give me that smile.
and i forget why i was pulling my hair out in the first place.
3 and 1/2 boys have me at their finger tips.
and boy oh boy do they take advantage of my weakness.
them :)



taping to my fridge.
because it's ok to be reminded.
whether you need that reminder once a day.
or 12x a day.

Anytime you want me to take L&L off your hands, let me know! Everyone momma deserves a pedi once in a while :)

I remember being a SAHM before I returned to work. Its hard as hell. I would have happily went to work for Vince and him stay home a couple of days so he would get a clue. Guys just do not get it. Hang in there. I would definitely hang those photos on the fridge. Sure to make you smile.

Let it out! Being pregnant can be crazy enough, but being pregnant AND having multiple children to take care of...that is just nuts.

I have A LOT I could say about the under appreciated stay at home mom thing. Not because of Eric, but the other 95% of the population who have no clue what they're talking about. :/

Love you Hannah Banana!!!

A couple days Christine? Ha. I wish! I leave him for 5 hours to work a shift at The Office & I owe him the world. Ay ay ay.

Adrien, please do! Then I can have my husband read it! You have a way with words, maybe it would get through his thick skull! ;)

I have been right there with you this week! Yesterday, I laid everyone down for nap time and then went to my room and cried. My head still hurts today from crying so much yesterday! Some days it can feel like too much.

Heather said...

I heart you and your crazy family. Of course you are going crazy. Anyone in their right mind would. But you handle it like a freakin champ, and for that you are my hero!

Heather said...

And for the record, I could never be a SAHM. EVER.

Cassie said...

#6 is the MOST important momma. this too shall pass. i have to remember that with everything!!

no one said it would be easy, but they promised it would be worth it!!

and please, cry, just do it, it's the best thing ever!! lol.

I heard somewhere that if you paid someone to do everything a SAHM does, it would be like $90,000+ a year that you were shelling out...I think all SAHMs do a little more than just sit on pinterest and it's sad to me that there are people who still think you just sit around and watch tv all day :(

LOVE YOU GIRLS!!! Seriously. Sometimes I feel completely alone, and then I blog & you are all right here for me every.single.time :)
