Annoyances

I know this is probably going to be annoying for you to read so you may just want to skip this one because I'm in a crabby mood and therefore this might be a buzz kill. There are several things that are annoying me right now and I just want to get them off my chest. So here goes nothing.......

  • My husband....he was literally man of the year last week. He was fun, upbeat, loving, like just downright perfect and now he's just the opposite. It's pissing me off because he's taking everything I say the wrong way and just totally PMSing. I swear men get PMS too!!!!! We had a break from Little man last week so we only had Baby M and then the baby I babysit so we had a little less responsibility, but he was just perfect.

  • Little man. He is so mouthy and disrespectful sometimes. I'm getting really sick of the whining, talking back, and rudeness. When did my child turn into such a brat? It's not just a phase because it's been going on forever. It really pissed me off that my mom kept saying, "he didn't act this way for me last week." He got one on one undivided attention, which is really hard for us to do because we have a lot of things to do during the day and grandma can devote 100% of her time to spoiling him. It makes me feel like a bad parent though.

  • R's lack of a job. Though it's been nice to have more family time together and raise our children throughout the past 10 months I really think that we'd do better if we both had jobs and the kids were in preschool/daycare. I just feel like we're better parents sometimes when we have that structure and daily schedule that's the same Monday-Friday.

  • Baby M's lack of napping. Little man napped 2 hours two times per day and did that until about 18 months. From there he transitioned to one 2-3 hour long nap. Baby M has decided that one nap suits him just fine though he's totally overtired and sooooo cranky every afternoon.
  • My teeth. My gums are disappearing and they are really starting to get sensitive. The dentist said that it's most likely because of my braces that I had in high school. I'm also getting discolored spots on my teeth, also likely from my braces. Aren't braces supposed to help? I never knew that they had so many negative side effects along with them.

  • My messy house. I can clean it a million times and it just gets dirty in no time! I bet I sweep the kitchen floor at least 3 times per day. It doesn't help that our main entrance from the garage is right in our kitchen/dining room. It just gets so darn annoying. I struggle with how to keep the house clean through out the day but also devote tons of time to the kids.

Thanks for letting me get these off my chest. I promise there will be a happier post coming soon!

Don't worry about venting - we all do it! I've been feeling the need to vent a little lately too, so you may just see a lovely, whiny post pop up on my blog soon :)

About the gum issues - I have recessions too in my gum line, and my dentist said it's because I brush too hard. Apparently the only place you need to brush hard is on the inside of your bottom teeth. Who knew?!
