- 6 loads of laundry
- spend all day on the phone changing addresses with insurance, credit cards, etc
- prepare Etsy order to ship
- yell at kids
- curse the "witching hour" (4-8pm)
- feel awful when kids come to me first to apologize when I was the nasty one toward them (even though it's an hour past their bedtime)
- give kids hugs
- wish I could have more patience with said kids
- wonder why I think about having more kids
- waste time blogging and playing mindless games so I don't have to finish the dishes
- dream of living in my own home
- wish I always had a backyard for the kids to play in while I prepare dinner
- wonder how I will "set up" shop for the next month
- remind myself of my priorities: FAMILY

I bet you're so stressed! Moving is stressful enough let alone the fact that you don't have your own space. Park would be acting out like crazy!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, girl! Park has been asking for Sammy every day.
I got the bunks at Ti Decor. It might be worth a call to see if they could get more in, but today they were gone.
I know exactly how you feel...I've been getting so upset with Josie lately I just don't know why I want other kids but I guess its too late for that right? Things will get better...hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the back yard thing!! We have two acres, but it's all dirt and weeds, and no fence so I can't just let Tralee out to play without worrying about her wandering into the street. Also, we have some not-so-nice neighbors. I'm constantly wishing for a fenced in backyard! It's my dream!! Jim gets sick of hearing about it though. :)
ReplyDeleteOops. The above comment was left by Leslie. . . not Jim. I hate it when I do that.
ReplyDeleteI want my own home, too! I really shouldn't watch HGTV anymore because it is making me covetous.
ReplyDeleteOh I feel your pain! I rather hide in my bedroom and read! I so wish my boys could just go in the back and play by themselves...life would be so simple then hu! Take care of yourself!
ReplyDeletepriorities are hard to keep straight some times. especially when everything you are doing is GOOD. i always think of that talk ..good better best. i always hope i am doing what is best but get the nagging feeling i am missing something.
ReplyDeleteoh hannah i hope you get settled in okay. miss you already! honestly i didn't realize how attached i had become to my gals! you, leanna, melissa, wendy, steph and you... i have had so much fun with you guys! i can't believe we are all so spread out now. :(
anyways i'll say a prayer for you tonight. love you lots!
You wish for a house & backyard...I wish for more adventure and the pursuit of dreams like you and Tyler have. Soon enough you will have the house and backyard and will be settled...then you'll begin to wish you weren't so settled and start dreaming of new adventures:) I miss you already even though we didn't see each other much. It must be just knowing that you are that much further away!
ReplyDeleteIt is a tough balance. But I promise it will get better. It might take a couple of years if you aren't careful though. You are doing better than you think you are doing though. Don't be so hard on yourself, friend!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had a crazy day. I hope you've had some good ones since then! Just wanted to let you know that I posted to my blog about your cute Etsy shop. Hope it's going well.
