Oh man! These last couple weeks have been rough. My husband was on his spring break and within a day our children started puking, our dryer broke and my children decided it was a great opportunity to take advantage of us. It felt like it was harder to stay at home with them while my husband was here. All in the blink of an eye I could feel like I was on the edge of having a panic attack, suffering from multiple personality disorder and a migraine. This is NOT normal for me! My neck hurt most of the week, my body sort of ached and I was not motivated to do a damn thing around our home. "What a waste of a spring break" was the thought that kept reeling through my mind and that made it all worse.
As we inched towards my husband going back to work I thought everything would ease back to normalcy. We would continue with homeschooling, get our house pieced back together and the children would be happy and mostly corridgeable. (Did I mention my newly 6 year old daughter had TWO birthday parties over the weekend?! Oy!) On top of all their craziness, we just recently listed our home for sale and are in the process of making some big dreams come true. (I'll post about that later) The craziness did not end and my house is still a disaster. My children want to fight each other, call each other ridiculous names, and not share anything. How again does modeling behavior work? Because my husband and I don't have these issues. :)
This may truly be a case of Spring Fever, but I'm becoming a very irritable mother. I broke the rules and yelled at my daughter this morning. After she ran upstairs, I felt like curling up and crying but I quickly ran after her and profusely apologized. She did not deserve it and then we sat down and read about 10 books and decompressed. Oh wait, then the baby started crying...
