Breaking Point

That's it I am officially at the end of my rope. My girls are driving me absolutely CRAZY!! Every minute of my day I have at least one of them with me. I don't know how many times I have heard "that is sweet, they love their mommy." Well, we all need some me time from time to time and I can't remember the last time I had some. Now if you call staying up until midnight reading than yes, but then I am just exhausted the next day and that isn't much fun for the girls or me.

I use to count down the minutes until Cory walked in the door from work thinking I would finally get some relief. However, it doesn't matter if he is home they still want mommy. Don't get me wrong the girls love their daddy and are happy to see him and might go off with him for 15 minutes if I am lucky. Then they are right back by my side whining for me to hold them or to sit on my lap. At bedtime they want me to brush their teeth, me to read the books and me to put them to bed! Now please realize that I don't hold any of this against Cory because I know he is more than willing to help out and do the bedtime routine, but then the melt downs start. This than causes me even more stress then causing me to step in and just do it so they will go to sleep and I might get some quiet time.

I am in definite need of a vacation. Up until recently I didn't understand how moms could leave their kids for a week. If someone asked me to go with them on a trip I would jump at the chance. Anyone, Anyone?? If nothing else I think I might just need a girls night out with a few, okay maybe a lot of cocktails. I have gotten to the point that I am just so tired and overwhelmed that I don't feel like a fun mom anymore. I miss the warm weather and being able to go to the park, Zoo or Grant's Farm. I mean come on if it is going to be this darn cold, in the 20's, than at least let's get some snow out of it and be able to go outside and have some fun!!

Oh well at least I have a meeting for work on Monday that I get to go to for 2 hours. I will be able to drive in the car with the radio blaring listening to music and singing along without being interrupted and having my ear talked off the whole way. And on Tuesday I am getting together with a bunch of moms from Claire's preschool class so we can drink coffee, eat bagels and just talk. It is always nice to hear that other moms feel the same way that you do. Okay sorry that you all had to read my whining and complaining but I do feel better that I got to get all this off my chest. I love my girls more than I could ever imagine possible but some times all moms need a break right??
