WOW/MOM

Wornoutwoman = WOW or MOM (take your pic...either applies)

I think today I need a mommy day. All moms, even the really really good ones need a break now and then.

Lately, I've had a lot going on...which has added some slight stress.

•  I've quit my career to find a job that allows me to work around my son's schedule.

While stressful it's been a really really good move for our family. We've had more quality and quantity time... but it has changed our finances for the worse.

•  My sister's getting married....all good stuff happening there, but there are still some little stresses that my mother's feeling, which affects us all. And with a day and a half to D-day, the outdoor wedding, rainy, wet weather isn't ideal. That saying - when momma ain't happy, nobody's happy. It applies here. 

•  My son has earned MY childhood nickname, radio. They called me that because I'd talk and they couldn't turn me off! My little one, adorable as he is...has a lot to say all the time and reports everything to me in spades.

•  My husband has been out of town for two days/nights, which leaves me with no sleep as I'm not comfortable without him here at night. I used to have my dog with me when he left town, and now that Hershey's passed... it's too quiet, and I can't sleep.

As I sit here, I envision a beach and am looking forward to the pedicures I have scheduled for my sister's wedding party at the spa. I need a WOW break and some MOM time!

Now in the meantime, can we make the Wii stop playing that incessant circus-like music??? AHHH!

Now I'm off to church, to volunteer in my weekly Wednesday night with eighteen hyper 5-year-olds. DOUBLE AHHHHHH!
