I hit what I call the Mommy Wall today. I put Aaron down for his nap, and I was putting dirty laundry down to the basement to be washed, trying to get dressed, and making sure everything was ready so we could go get furniture when DH got home. As I’m walking through the living room, I hear whining about lunch. I was on my way to the bathroom to brush my hair. I’m standing there looking in the mirror thinking “I don’t want to make lunch. I just want to do the things I need to do for ME right now.” I’m done, and I need a break. I need to find a way to carve out some me time this week or something’s going to give.
And for the furniture, the couch was gone when we went to buy it. So, now we need plan B because let’s face it, no other couch will be that couch. Oh, and they discontinued it in the chocolate micro suede. The other micro suede colors are ugly or too light to have with kids, and the other fabrics are pretty awful. Yippee.
We were in the car on the way home today, and Zach was being a pill when I told him enough was enough he’d been pushing my buttons all weekend and I was done. He then asked me when I thought my buttons might pop back up again. Sad thing was he wasn’t trying to be sarcastic. He just thinks in such absolutes and he’s THAT literal. In fact I’m not sure he’d know what sarcasm was even if it bit him on the ass. I had to explain to him that his making good choices was the only thing that was going to fix the situation.
I did have some good news this weekend though. My current jeans are getting looser, so it’s time to break out the next smaller size. I’m excited about that. I haven’t really done anything differently either. The only difference is that living here on post I can walk to almost anything I need when the weather’s nice. So smaller pants it is.
That’s where I’m at. How was your weekend?

I think you will either love or hate micro suede. I know someone who HATES theirs. THEY HATE IT. . . they said that it’s so hard to clean, but I don’t think they got the scotch guard like they were supposed to. We have leather (which is hard to clean as well when it’s cream. . . can you tell it was BK (before kids?).. cool to hear you’re losing weight. I was actually able to fit into a smaller size this weekend as well. . a little snug but still. .
have a great sunday night. take some time for yourself. hugs.
I love chocolate microsuede more than I love chocolate. Or suede. That’s the same kind of couch I want but I can’t find it anywhere. Are we the only freaks who love it? What’s wrong with us?
Oh, and I hit the Mommy Wall at least twice per week and I only have one kid. In fact, it is one of the reason I only have one kid.
OK I too need a serious break – congrats on the smaller size and walking!
Back to the break part – since homeschooling I feel my children are constantly asking me for things to do and get this, that, she gets more attention than me etc….
I would love to get a small couch with tv in the bathroom where I hope to be left in peace for at least 10 minutes!
