I don’t know about your kids but sometimes (often) mine
really get on my nerves. There comes a point that I just want them to be quiet
and shut up..and I keep waiting fort that point to come!
Aren’t tweens and teens supposed to want to spend a lot of
time looking sullen and by themselves in their own rooms alone? Not my kids!
Not ever!
There just comes a point of any week or weekend where I
have heard enough of the whining, the screaming shut up to each other and the..”I
didn’t stack the dishwasher badly HE did!” Gets on my nerves. And when I know they
are not off to school the next day either in routines it is even worse. One
home on bed rest now and one off on a professional day…nice to start a Monday
with a day off of school eh? Do these teachers ever work??
Problem with tweens and teens too is that there is no start
and end to a day. It’s not like 8:30pm really comes around anymore and I can
tuck them in and beddy-bye. If it is a non-school night they stay up later than
us and if a school night often now they do homework way beyond their set
bedtimes. What am I supposed to say “No more homework allowed??
But I crave silence like most people crave alcohol and
coffee. I need it.
I hate loud sounds. I hate loud noises. It was a real
issue when I had three kids under the age of 4 at home. And every day since
actually.
And my kids are not quiet at all. Not at all.
So it’s not all sunshine and roses ok over here? My daughter
is driving me bananas these days and I keep looking for diagnoses on the
Internet of what could be wrong with her. Although I am so thankful my son is not
blind., I secretly wish something could have made his voice blurry instead of
his eyes in the last few days. And my middle son is just too diplomatic. Always
trying to explain to me when I am irritated how he tried to control himself or
was not part of this or that. I am not in the mood for discussions and lesson
child-go to sleep!
All I want to to is go back to the beach.
(And yes I am still grateful for them all I am just in a
crappy mood. Also WTF? Why does my period now come 6 days early or 15 days
late? Enough hormones. Calm down! Go away!. )
PS we also this weekend on top of everything going on
here put up an X-mas tree, baked all the /Christmas traditional mocha desserts, made 5 meals, made some breakfast
loaves for Xmas and hid an elf. I think we might have tried to accomplish
too much (well my husband did as I have been sick in bed). It literally feels
that for the whole weekend the kitchen has been a complete mess and the
dishwasher has been stacked an unstacked a million times (which it has). How
much can a family eat??????? Are we pigs?
Just looking at this house cleaning, cooking, being merry
is exhausting me….I know I know I am a real pain in the ass today. I will be
better tomorrow:) By the time Dec 24 rolls around I will feel much merrier for certain. (after all the shopping and wrapping is done that is) Another task that tires me out just picturing all the work.
