My son wants to go outside to the front yard by the busy road and ride his bike.

My son doesn’t know how to ride his bike. I’m 7 months pregnant and unable to teach him.

I have a crap load of work to do, not to mention a house to unpack and a three year old with needs, and no sitters available because of the holiday season. The kids are super restless, making messes, getting into stuff they shouldn’t and moping because mom is all work and no play. Well, sorry, after not sleeping for about 4 nights straight this week while I was at the ER and up all night taking care of you guys- no. Mom’s no fun.

Almost all the time- I handle this just fine- but after kids being sick for most of the week, and everything getting so backed up- I am just flipping shot. I’m so stressed I feel like snapping at people and just crying. I knew I was headed to this point and I called around trying very hard to line up a sitter so everyone’s best interests could be managed- it just didn’t work.

I just want everyone to go away so I can sleep for a day, work for a day and play for a day- get everything caught up and balanced and return to my usual harmony.

I know. I’m dreaming.
