Would someone do me the honor of slapping me silly please?

[DB in NJ]

I am a total grouch. Everyone and everything is on my nerves. Nobody can do anything right, and I am the only person who knows what on earth to do in any given situation.

Yep. I'm totally full of myself today. I'm making my own self sick.

Maybe it's because I've been so busy and working with people who are only half paying attention (then asking questions that would've been answered had they been listening in the first place).

Maybe it's because I've spent the last 3 days surrounded by loud and obnoxious kids (not my own).

Maybe it's because I haven't been with my own little guy and am now feeling guilty. Not to mention my 17 yo. Even though he's big, he still needs me every now and then, and I've been completely unavailable.

Maybe it's because I haven't been eating right, sleeping right, or drinking enough water.

Maybe it's because I haven't run since Monday.

Maybe it's because my prayer life has been virtually non-existent this summer. Ditto my Bible reading. Yeah. I'm thinking this one has A LOT to do with it all.

I can't even stand my own self tonight. Can any of you relate???

I'm gonna go pray and get over myself. Thanks for listening.

You need a hot fudge sundae, not a good slapping!! :D

I second the sundae! Forget the slapping!

How about a sloppy giant dog kiss?

This is what you really need...

Nah, I'm just kidding. Sounds like you are entitled. Can you take a little break to recoup? A nap, even?

Hope you're feeling better soon :grouphug:.

[Mom2legomaniacs]

You take a good look at your avatar and go there. Meditate, have a nice bubble bath, relax. Pamper yourself. Do something just for you that you know will lift you up to get you started. How about a :grouphug: instead of a slap. I like those better.:001_smile:

[JudoMom]

Aw, man! I wanted to slap someone, but the other posters are right--you don't need one.

Go run. Pray while you're running. Pick a book in the Bible and read the first chapter tonight before bed, and the second in the morning. Then read a chapter every morning thereafter.

:grouphug:

[Elaine]

No slapping here either. :grouphug:

If it helps any, I can totally relate to what you wrote.

[Heidi @ Mt Hope]

I could have written your post. Except I don't ever run unless chased. And I don't have anyone else's kids to blame. Yesterday was particularly terrible. Luckily I sent my dh and two oldest off on their father/son camping trip. The almost 2yo has been difficult lately (climbing out of both playpen and crib, breaking 3 child gates...), but we are having a lovely time just the two of us. I'm ignoring my disasterous house today and sitting around doing *nothing.* Tomorrow I'll have a cleaning frenzy during nap time. Maybe I'll get one project done before the boys get back. In general, though, I just hope they're gone long enough so that I actually miss them before they get home.

I feel your pain.

[sleepy]

Oh, DB :grouphug:

[krazzymommy]

hmm...this sounds like me - yesterday! :grouphug:

Just remember that tomorrow will be a brand new day....and maybe get some ice cream in the meantime. (Oh wait, that won't help with feeling bad about eating poorly, now will it? :glare:) Oh well, it might get you through today!

[Cheryl in NM]

Yes, I can completely relate! I struggle sometimes also. Of course, my issues are usually hormonal (early hysterectomy and HRT related), but it still gives me that hopeless feeling!

I talke to dh about how I'm feeling. I call a friend and ask how SHE'S doing, keeping the foucs off how I'm feeling. I try thinking or writing about the good things in life and what I like about my life. I also pray.

HTH!:grouphug:

[DB in NJ]

Oh wow! Thanks, ladies!!! I'm definitely feelin' the love here....even though I really DO deserve that slapping!!!

:grouphug:

Nah. Go into your room, close the door and put on your best bellowing voice and yell "I HATE EVERYTHING!" And you'll feel much better. There are times when my dh grins at me and says "Don't tell me, you hate everyone?" No one around here takes such things personally, thank goodness.

Oh, I'm SO with you. This is not the easy path that we've chosen, Grasshopper, even though we know that it's the right one for our families. Sometimes, by the end of the day, I'm so sick of my own nagging that I want to slap myself.

So g'head. Give yourself a doozy. Then saunter on up to that sundae. You earned it, sistah!! C'mon in here for the real thing: :grouphug:

:grouphug:


And while reading that first chapter, have some chocolate. Any kind.

[Heather in the Kootenays]

How about virtual chocolate and :grouphug: followed by a good night of sleep.
