There are a few rules...this is all about me, not you and I am going to be the Center of the Universe for a night and Cinderella for the evening......... seriously, I need some ME time.....that could just be going to the bathroom alone and watching what I want to on TV with no one else in the house....Ugh, no one told me that raising a child was going to be 24/7....lol....I look at me in the mirror and now know why my Momma was crazy...there were four of us and we were stairsteps....course Momma had her children done by 25 and was a grandmother at 41.....I became a Mother at 41.....I know I am not alone and there are women everyday having children in their 40's but now I know why it takes a village to raise a child, why generations use to live in a household and why it is so important to have family close......I am slap worn out!

Judy's Pity Party

You could have dropped him off every night this week at 6:30 and had at least an hour or two without a kid hanging on your shirt tail! You could have put him in a class and come and hung out with us adults. Sure, we taught the kids, but we've also had alot of fun this week. I've really enjoyed spending the time with those I don't normally get to.
But...this is all about you...I forgot that for a second. The best thing you could do for yourself is find yourself a dependable teenage babysitter...some of those friends who had their kids by 25 years of age should have one of them, right?! USE THEM! LOL. I would offer to babysit, but I'm in the same boat to an extent. Sure, I have my parents here, but do you think I can go to the bathroom alone? no! A soak in the tub? Not hardly. Locks don't help. He knows how to get in. WHAT does SILENCE actually sound like?! Nothing, you say? Well sometimes I want a whole lotta nothing!
I feel for you, truly. I think it sounds like a great plan to go do something on your own while in Denver and let Jon take some responsibility for a change. Good for you. And while you're out be sure and take some dang pictures so you can post them here for us! LOL.
Good Lord, I think I wrote more than you did!
I feel faint! You posted!
Amy is right
LET SOMEONE HELP YOU FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
We have not because we ask not!
My mom had all 5 of us in six years..by the time she was 23 and she is loony as they come, but I love her anyway. She says "ya wanna know what's wrong with me ..Ya'll is what wrong with me!"
Please girl life is to short! Read your blog title and slow down!
Girl, I had all mine by 30... all three!! I can't go to the bathroom by myself either!! Shane goes on "vacations", alright to places like Iraq and Afghanistan all the time. And I am left in the frigid cold with not 1, or 2 but 3 hoodlums!! No family remotely close to me!! All I can ever do is just figure it out!! Everyone always asks if they can babysit, but will they REALLY do it like I can???? Probably NOT!
So I empathize with you. Truly!!
And holy cow, you POSTED!!! I was wondering how long that trip was going to be! LOL.
Hey, I was thinking about this last night, my Mom was a grandmother at 37. She is only 17 years older than me. In that picture I posted she is
You girls gotta learn to trust someone, to help you.
In the picture I posted she is 22 and expecting our baby brother. The last of the litter.
Judy if someone in this circle offers to help it's genuine. Take a deep breath and think...calm blue ocean...calm blue ocean! LOL It really does get better as they get a little older. Kudos for doing a good job Mom!
~We all deserve a meltdown every now and then!
