Grouchy ***

TGIF, although, I don’t think this weekend is going to be much fun.  Jamie has a research paper due on Sunday, so it looks like I will pretty much be the only parent.  Ugh.  Sometimes I get frustrated that he chose to get his masters degree when I need him the most around the house. It’s hard to be around the kids 24/7 and then on evenings and weekends it is STILL just me because he has other priorities to tend to.  But, it will be finished in another month.  He graduates in May, so I am just hanging in there until then.  It sucks because the weather is supposed to be somewhat nice this weekend and we can’t go anywhere.  We are taking the kids for an Easter egg hunt at my parents on Sunday, so at least they will get out of the house one day.

I didn’t come here to rant, not sure where that came from.

I still haven’t gotten up the courage to tell Izzy’s mom that I don’t want to babysit anymore.  I just feel bad.  I’ve been keeping her for a year and half almost.  Good luck on finding a good sitter who doesn’t charge you an arm and a leg.  I need to just tell her.  Ugh.  Part of me wishes she would decide to put her in daycare or something because I have to miss days sometimes when the kids are sick, that way I wouldn’t have to be the one to tell her I quit. I’m such a wiener.  I was wanting to use Jamie’s promotion as an excuse, but they are taking forever getting it budgeted so we are still waiting with that.

I’ve have been feeling so exhausted for the past couple of days.  Its starting to get annoying.  I went to bed at a decent time, so I shouldn’t feel this bad.  The cat does wake me up several times a night with her really loud yowling.  I think she is in heat or something.  How long will this last?  We should have gotten her fixed by now, but just never did.  The constant loud meowing is so irritating.  Also, the kids will come climb into my bed at random hours of the night.  All of this is pretty normal though, so I don’t know why it is affecting me so much lately.

Jamie is trying to get me to sell my laptop and keep his to use.  His is newer and smaller, but it just bugs me because he gets these obsessions where he has to buy some new gadget.  This laptop was one of those obsessions that he just had to have.  He barely used it and we have only had it a few months.  He says his tablet has pretty much replaced it.  I was happy with my laptop – which still has the accidental warranty coverage, so I am annoyed he is bugging me to sell it.  I think it is so he won’t feel guilty about buying both the laptop and the tablet in the past six months if I take the laptop.  It bugs me that he does this. I’m sure in a year or so he will move on to wanting a new car or something.  Don’t know why I’m in such a cranky mood all of a sudden 🙁 My husband is a great guy, I’m just grouchy and shouldn’t be ranting.

Owen keeps asking to go back to Chuck E Cheese.  Maybe one day we will be able to.  I wish we had more to do for the kids nearby.
