Most days I love being a stay at home mom. Most days I feel remiss for not having completed the paperwork for another adoption. Most days I feel tired, but know what I don't do today will not hurt anyone and can be done tomorrow. Most days I can find a little patience. Most days I feel okay.
Today is not one of those days.
I must be nuts to think I can take care of another baby too. I feel like I'm going to explode.
Also, I want to kill my cat. Seriously. I think I'm capable of breaking his neck. He howls like a banshee CONSTANTLY. I cannot get a moment of quiet. Henry has a cold and has already woken up from his nap once. I got him to go back to sleep, but the f*c&ing cat keeps howling and won't shut up. I need to do some cleaning but all I can do is try to get the animals to leave me alone. They both whine and make noise and follow me around. I want them to LEAVE ME ALONE. Let me do something while Henry is asleep.
Also, I cannot believe that 3 might be more of a challenge than 2. I am losing patience.
This has not been a good week. I hope next week is better.
Life as an adoptive family.
My Story

Well something in common. I would like to kill my fu**ing cat today too.
Oh, so can relate to this, hon! Some days the frustrations are just so high that when I have a break to run an errand in the car--I want to keep on driving!! :-)
Its okay to be frustrated and tired. I hope you get a break tho soon....maybe an afternoon off (a friend/neighbor/spouse watch him)?
Actually, if you are interested...give me a shout out--we could do something together to get out! (revenent at hot mail dot com)
I am sure my little one could use a playmate for an afternoon...
(Oh, and yes...three seems to be more frustrating!!)
Yes yes yes. Kate is getting molars, so she's not sleeping at night, she's refusing naps, and the *#@%ing animals bark and chase things around the entire time. I want to just throw them all out. Grrrr.
I hate days like that.
Ugh, Monday was like that for us, even though A and I spent half the day apart (her at school and me at work.) Hate those days.
Also, I cannot believe that 3 might be more of a challenge than 2
Scary thought, huh? Hope to see you guys soon.
