I’m losing my mind today, I’ve already decided
Having two kids was a bad, bad idea. No, let me rephrase that. Having these two kids was a bad idea. I should have ordered the model with the mute button and autopilot feature. (Those of you with more than two kids — I maintain the opinion that you are completely fruit loops. I mean that in the nicest way.)
Today has most definitely earned the infamous label of One of Those Days. Yes, at only 8:30 in the morning. The baby has decided that he can’t leave my side absolutely ever, which would be fine if I, you know, didn’t have a single other thing that ever needed my attention. Ever. Oh, and he’s learned that my shoulder makes a convenient snot rag. This makes for an awesome fashion accessory, let me tell you. Snot distressed tees.
And the toddler’s affliction with Crisco and tearing paper into tiny little shreds doesn’t exactly make for a clean house. He also finds joy in saying, “Look Mommy, rocks!” while chunking one from his hidden stash across the room.
My title comes from Kate Gosselin. She muttered it under her breath on an episode of Jon & Kate + 8 and immediately I was like, “YES. Preach it, sistah!” Although the thought of comparing my life to hers is absolutely laughable, because if I were in her shoes I’d have ran away to Mexico a long time ago. People are definitely born with certain levels of patience — mine is down here and hers is up here. (Picture me doing some frantic low and high hand gestures.)
I called the husband crying already this morning (poor guy hadn’t even made it to work yet) and he said I could come downtown for lunch. To which I whined, “But that’s still four hours away. I’m losing my mind now.” Plus, that would involve taking a shower and making myself look more like an actual functioning person, so we’ll see if I can muster up enough motivation.
Oh, and it appears that not only am I allergic to Neosporin, but I have also developed an allergy for Band-Aids. And yes, I found out the hard way.
I think my comfort food of the day is going to be Halloween Mix. Take a bag of candy corn (I like Brach’s Autumn Mix; the little pumpkins are cute) and a jar of dry roasted peanuts (although I’m making a double batch and using both dry roasted and honey roasted) and mix it all together in a bowl. Something about the sweet and salty combination is amazing. Like a Payday. Try it. Love it. Thank me later.
For some reason I had always hoped my kids would be as maintenance free as me. I don’t know what I did but when I placed my order I guess I forgot to mention I wanted the features you spoke of. To bad my sales rep is nowhere to be found.
I am also expecting to find no Halloween mix left when I get home. If I do find any you are in trouble.
TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!!!! It’s one of those days down here too!
Just call me Toucan Sam…I understand exactly how you feel. I have four boys, when all of them are together, it is like a three ring circus sometimes. My evening was like that with the two youngest last night, after work, while cooking dinner, doing housework, homework, etc…Kids gotta love em! Also, I lurve John and Kate..plus 8…I absolutely would have to be committed if I were her..how does she do it? Hang in there…hopefully you made it to lunch, the day improved..

I think I lost my mind this past tuesday, then again on wednesday. Glad it’s friday! I”ve been there and feel for ya!
Ahhh, the snot t’s, nothing quite like those;} I am especially charmed when she does it directly after I’ve gotten dressed in the morning. Even better when it’s my last clean shirt. I agree, fun times.
Enough about me there, I just get what you mean and I blubber on the phone all the time, it helps let off some steam.
I have your email but my internet is crap right now, it won’t even let me upload Ria’s birthday pictures.
Oh babe…..I can relate….and that candy, YUMMY!!!!!!!
I can understand, it does get overwhelming. Here’s to better days ahead!
Big fan of this site, a bunch of your posts have really helped me out. Looking forward to updates!
