Didn’t achieve as much as I’d planned….

Its 9pm and I’m slowly running out of steam.  I went walking today at Aunt Dawn’s, and it really wore me out.  Porter and I headed home and I had hoped he’d fall asleep on the way home (which he did) and then continue to sleep at home so I could take a nap (which he didn’t).  Once we got home he was fussy fussy fussy and I really ran short of patience.  He was fed, changed, didn’t want to be in his boppy or swing, wasn’t happy being held and kept rooting around for his pacifier but would spit it out after a minute of sucking. I had a major Take It and Shut The F*ck Up moment with the little man and his pacifier.   I’d spent every day this week with him as well as all day today, and I was in serious need of a break from him. I hate getting upset with him when he’s cranky because he can’t tell me what he wants/needs or what is wrong… but I can only take so much.  Ryan worked overtime this morning and then spent the afternoon trying to fix my retarded brakes on the Santa Fe.  All I wanted was a few hours to myself so I could scrapbook and get something done for myself.  Ry finally got home around 7 and I happily passed the cranky baby off to him and tried to nap (by this time my head was hurting and I was exhausted).  I’m now trying to get some creative juices going and come up with some sort of scrapbook page but I don’t see it happening.  I did manage to put some pictures on a few of the pre-made pages I did awhile ago.  I guess that is a start…

The first layout is a scraplift of AmyStultzs’…

  1. Hi Nicole,

    Love the pages you did! Your days will get better as Porter gets older!! I’ve been a lurker of your blog for awhile and I just got the nerve to start my own.

  2. Your pages are great!

    There will be hard days- just breathe! Be sure and DO take time for you! My sweet man lets me go once or twice a week and he takes care of the kids. I start getting so grumpy and mean- it really helps to step away from it all and miss them! It will help you be a better mom and wife to make the alone time for you! The weeks i dont take the time- all hell breaks loose and we all fight! :O) SO- he makes sure I get out!
