Tired, screaming kids. Here's my vent...watch out!

I just got back from a disappointing, stupid meeting. It had to do with a previous employer and money...neither of which are good subjects (for the record, I didn't embezzle money or anything crazy like that). Nonetheless, the situation turned out less than favorable. But, whatever. I knew not to expect much and that's just what I got...not much.

So, now my kids are screaming because they are beyond tired and REFUSING to take naps. It sucks. The stupid thing is, I know that if I put both of them in the car right now and drove around for thirty minutes they'd be out. I hate that! Why do tired kids insist on fighting sleep?
Pile on to all of that the fact that Derrick is gone again for training in Oregon making today my sixth day of single parenting (I give huge props to single parents because I seriously don't know how you do it day in and day out). I'm tired.

Here's some more interesting facts about today:

-Had to take Judah to the Dr. this morning because on Saturday he decided to grab my mom's curling iron and give himself second degree burns. Ouch! Doc says he's okay as long as his blisters don't break before the new skin has a chance to grow. (See my pro bandage job to the rt.)

-Zoe fell off her stool at the little table her and Judah eat at, spilled her juice and smashed her head on the tile floor. She's got a good shiner now.

-Judah peed his pants for the third time today resulting in an argument/discussion between him and myself about why he waits so long to go to the bathroom (super frustrating).

-And...while going into the bank to drop off a check, my bluetooth broke...Ughhh!!! I hate those things anyway but now I've gotta go get a new one.

So dear readers, I know I haven't blogged in awhile, so sorry to disappoint with a rant. It just felt like the easiest way to calm down. Good times! Ha ha...

Why do kids have to touch curling irons? Both of mine have touched my flat iron... No they stay away from it though! Nice bandage job btw.

Sounds like they are saving up because Derrick is gone.

Hang in there!

Don't apologize for venting! Sometimes that's the best way to get over something that's bugging you. But hang in there until your hubby gets home! You're a brave woman, so I know you can do it.

I have had a couple of those days lately too. What is up with the not taking a nap? I hate that. Then the day seems so much longer and by 7p.m. it is either time for the gym, to get out the frustration or time for bad because you are done. suck! suck! Hopefully next week is better. love ya!

oh man that sucks Danielle! I wish I was there to help you! I will be in Redding in a month :) Does that make you kind of smile???

And venting is perfectly acceptable on blogs...I am sure of it. I just can't say much with so many little eyes reading :) I save those emails for you!
