[ChaCha]

Just feeling sorry for myself and not bothering anyone in RL with my moans and groans.
My house is a bomb site, not a single bed made, washing/ironing piles everywhere, I haven't been out in ages as DS (12mths) has one cold after another and has had diarrhea/sickness since last night hence minimal sleep for all. Can't move around freely as he screams the minute i close the stairgate and i've nothing done for DH's dinner or for his trip away tomorrow - his clothes are all washed not ironed or packed, i am leaving this to him (not very wife like is it?). In a nutshell feeling tired and fed up and just want to have a moan. What do you do on a day like this? DS is so clingy and unwell poor thing and I'm just grumpy and in need of sleep. An hour alone to clean up would probably make me feel better too!
Oh and I'm 31 weeks pregnant and am imagining that a day like this may seem a doddle in the bigger scheme of things to come!!
Thanks for listening.

'not very wife like'???!!!

dear god that is not the job of a 'wife'

when does dh get home? can he do his own ironing? and make dinner for you?

We all have days like that and at 31 weeks pregnant you more than have an excuse. Have a long soak in the bath this evening a warm milky drink and an early night and takle things in the morning

Oh ((((ChaCha)))) you sound like you need a BIG BREAK, which is not good timing with your dh going away. Do you have anybody who can give you timeout??

Very important to get out of the house!! Have you ever thought of joing the FLY ladies, they could help you organise your house. All about focussing on one area rather than being swamped by everything.

I went to visit someone today for first time... was SO pleased their house was messy ! makes a change from the normally very tidy swiss

Take care

in fact at 31 weeks pregnant wtf is your dh going away for???

please try and think about your sense of peace and not the packing

He has become accustomed to certain things being done for him, I've always enjoyed doing it to be honest and so feel guilty when there are days that i just can't. Yes, he'd get on with doing his own stuff but he's out from 8am and won't be home until gone 8-9pm, has to pack and do other things including bathing DS I hope....he is just so busy I feel guilty asking him ... oh i'm so hormonal today.

Bath and hot drink sounds divine.

Give yourself a break.

Instead of focussing on what you haven't done, look at what you have done today (inc. looking after your ds). You'll probably find that you have done loads of stuff. It might just change your perspective and make you realise how well you are actually doing.

Have you got anyone you could ask for practical help? Or to look after ds to give you time to do some jobs around the house?

Don't worry we - all feel like this sometimes ! Being a parent is the world's most demanding job but it is also the most rewarding so hang on in there!

Yuletide - thanks

Recently had a falling out with my DM so she isn't around as planned during this busy time - another story.

DH has to go on this trip, he feels quite bad about it and has asked me to stay with my friend who is nearby - she has two small children herself but i'm hoping we'll both just muck in and give each other a break.

I hate mess!!! It really upsets me, with another on the way i should really get out of this 'must have tidy home' routine shouldn't i? Gosh i ramble when tired, sorry!

Thanks Rosylea - i'm glad i posted now, i feel a bit better already. I don't do well being stuck indoors this long.

DS is doing his Frankenstein impersonation and looking around the room from me, time for hugs i think. Thank God for the laptop!

How are you doing today ChaCha?
