Hello, readers. Today has been very unproductive. Okay, I admit.. this whole week thus far has been. But luckily its only Wednesday and I still have Thursday and Friday to get stuff done.
Why have I been unproductive, you ask?
I have been really tired lately. I have always had trouble sleeping at night. Getting to sleep and staying asleep. My mind just thinks about everything when I'm suppose to just be going to sleep! Also, my legs and feet can't get comfy. I just toss and turn. And normally I don't go to bed until 1-2 am. I've got to catch up on the dvr'ed stuff. And its the only time I can sit in peace and quite (kids and husband are sleeping and snoring! ;)
Then...when morning rolls around here, its 8 am and the kids get up and want to watch cartoons. Gosh darn it, mama has only been asleep for 6ish hours. (But not solid, excellent sleep) I get up for a while and then fix the girls an easy breakfast.
Quinn is usually a GRUMP in the morning. After she eats I put her back to bed. Herein lies the problem.. she won't go to sleep w/o me or Chris.
And yes, she sleeps in our bed. It may be king sized bed but man, that little rascal will find you and stay by your side like velcro... all night!
I fall back asleep with her for a couple of hours. Then we wake up and I'm still extremely tired! So, tired that I seriously don't have any motivation to do anything that I should be doing. (Laundry, dishes etc. )
I know, I know Quinn should be sleeping in her own bed. Or at least share Sophie's bed in her room. But, she just talks and plays when she is in Sophie's bed. Then neither of then get sleep and Soph gets totally agitated with her then kicks her out of her room.
Quinn is my baby. And I love her to pieces. Here lately she has been hanging onto Chris's leg, crying and pleading him to stay home and not go to work.
Then today she said to me in bed, "I miss daddy!"
Sophie has been saying "mommy why are you being so mean to me!?" Whenever I discipline her; spank her, send her to her room or raise my voice to her.
If you haven't figured out yet that those 2 little girls of mine (and Chris) but I gave birth to them ;)... have just hurt my feelings when they say stuff like that to me. Yeeeessss.... I have feelings. :)
Pity party: table of one. Right here.
I just haven't been feeling very loved or appreciated lately... by anyone.
Sure...I KNoW that my family loves me. But, sheesh.... "I'm not feeling the love."
Humans need to have time with other humans. ( especially other adults...when you're a stay-at-home-mom) They need love, hugs and kisses. Or at least I do.
And, I don't really have a best friend. To tell all this to and to hug me and give me either pity or a kick in the ass. :)
So. The point of this post is: please don't let the people in your life who are important to you go un-thanked or unappreciated any more. Love them, out loud and give them hugs and kisses.
Cards and treats aren't a must...but I'm sure they'd be greatly received. :)
Oh... and also that I'm okay with hugs from other people too. :)
Do you ever feel unappreciated and/or throw yourself a solo party of pity?
