I’m in a biotchy mood today. Ick. For the last 2 weeks (ok, longer, cause didn’t I post this about 2 weeks ago??), I swear my husband has spent no more than an hour a day with Porter… some days not even seeing him at all. Its getting Pretty. Mother. Freaking. OLD.
Porter was thisclose >< to being shipped off to the West Indies. We’re working on the one nap a day, and he did fine lasting until I picked him up, fell asleep on the way home (12:30) and slept for an hour and 45 minutes. NOT long enough for one nap a day. Ryan called before leaving work to let me know he’d be doing homework when he gets home, so basically I was on my own with Monster Child all evening while he was off at class until umpteen hours of the night.
So I packed up Monster Child and figured I’d use the time to get some errands done. Not that I envisioned running errands with MC, but what other choice did I have? Do I get any free time to do things without the ankle biter? Nope. Not only did I have to share my body with him for 39 freaking weeks, but I still can’t go anywhere without toting him along. And exactly whyyy do I have a husband? Oh, yeah… the money thing.
Sorry this is so bitchy. But if you noticed the title… you should have caught a clue that it wasn’t going to be a pretty post.
Anyway… back to my post. Porter whined and whined and hung on my leg all night and got into the dog water and into my purse and into the pantry and basically did anything in his power to bug the living daylights out of me. Video time. Einstein to the rescue… or so I thought. His favorite one, Things that Go, seemed to be stuck on the mother freaking Julie Clark advertisement before the video. "Hello I’m Julie Clark, maker of Baby Einstein" blah blah blah… skip to the Little Einstein trailer and then back to "Hello I’m Julie Clark.. Maker of baby Einstein" BARF. Get over yourself!! So the DVD player and I had a little go round… I contemplated running downstairs and ordering a new one online.
Our washer is broke. Its been broke for about a week. I did a mondo load of laundry at Heather’s yesterday, and the appliance dude came today to spend about 4.2 seconds looking at it to tell me he has to order a part. So let me get this straight… I waited a WEEK for you to come here, stare at it and then tell me I have to wait AGAIN for a part? Nice.
Ok I had lots more to write today, but seeing as this post is already really really nasty, I’m going to quit now. I might be on later after I go relax and have a drink or a fifth.. or two.

wow!! almost makes me not want to have kids… calm down there killer before you change my mind completely!! (slips nicole a bottle of prozac)
okay, i hope you feel better… but that had me laughing out loud. 🙂 especially when you told julie clark to get over herself. HAHAHAHA. priceless.
I can so sympathize with you on the Ryan thing. Things were the same way when Macy was little.
I LOVE YOU!!!!!! Hang in there. There have been a couple of nights here and there where Jade has wanted to get his stuff done, but I had stuff to do to. It’s hard because who gets to get what they want done and tend to the baby? Anyway, if you need to come over and do laundry this weekend, you can. Jade will be gone and we could hang out. I know it’s going to be a busy weekend for you, so if you need anything let me know.
Prozac may help with the depression but you won’t feel happiness either…just blah. What you need is a Xanax or a Valium and a day off to go shopping or off to the movies by yourself. Maybe even just catch up on some sleep. Happy B-day to your P-man, too!!
I hope things start looking up for you. We are experiencing 2yr old tantrums right now! UGH! Single mom with one who is 8 thinking she is 16 and 2yr old tantrums not a fun mix either.
First of all….don’t feel bad for feeling this way. We all feel your pain, trust me….I’m right there with ya! Hopefully it will get better soon….for both of us. I can’t wait for warm weather again so we’re not couped up inside all day long – how about you!
Hang in there!!! I really hope that things turn around for you! Hopefully the part for the washer comes in soon…Did you tell the guy to put a rush on the stupid part?!?!
If you need anything let me know…
you took the words right out of my mouth! my little guy is a little clingon at the moment and my husband is no. help. at. all. argh! where is the super husband-fixer-fairy when you need her?
