nojomo: every day is a winding road

I’ve been in a bitchy, grumpy mood all day.  I was sick last night and didn’t sleep well, and so all of that yuckiness has just filtered into the daytime hours.  Not pleasant.  I hate being in a bad mood when I’m at home.

But I did make fettucine alfredo for dinner (from a jar, not home made, but still…) and I’m eating that now.  I had to take a break from it earlier to put Benjamin in his bed because he fell asleep in his high chair, poor guy. 

I’m really counting down the days until Aaron starts his new career and I can officially and without strings be a stay at home/work at home mom.  All of the changes I had instituted around here while he wasn’t living with us have slowly disappeared since I started working, and I’m anxious to get this household whipped back into shape.  Our diets, the housecleaning, the kids’ behavior, all of it.  I’m ready to take charge, because another kid in the house has meant lots more chaos, and Jacob’s mom seems to be slowly losing interest in him (as in, when he first moved in he got a call from her once a night, now we’re lucky if she calls once a week) so it’s looking more and more like our current situation will grow to be something permanent.  That’s a great thing, but it just means having to have a tighter hold on the reins for me, because Jacob starting to reach the age where he wants to question us and argue when he tell him to do something. 

In short, a lot of current problems and quibbles will be solved when I can stay home all the time. 

But now, I have kids to bathe and photos to edit, so I’m gonna go do that now.
