As the title suggests, I am new to blogging. I read one religiously, but have never had the nerve until now to start one. I will start with a brief intro. I am Canadian, a wife, and stay at home mother of 2 boys currently aged 21 months and 4 years. Life is good, yet I need to rant a little now and than - so I think this may be my out let. I don't anticipate all of my entries to be rants......yet it gives me a diary of sorts to get it out of my system.
Take this weekend for example. Hubby has had to work all weekend - not usual, yet not a surprise either. I love my boys, (like out of the planet kinda love) but I am DONE!!!!! This past week has been incredibly long to begin with as our 4 year old L, just started pre-school for the first time this week, my activities started up, plus we had some doctors appointments in there. For most of you this may be par for the course, yet for me it was a BIG WEEK as I have been anxious about the whole pre-school thing since the day he was born. As I pulled out of the parking lot, after dropping him off, I hit a deer. Right than and there I thought SERIOUSLY this is going to be a long week.
Getting back to why I am done......my boys are loud. Like really, really LOUD! I have tried everything to get them to use quieter voices, even speaking in whispers myself to model a softer voice and nothing seems to work. To top it off both boys want their own independence and fight me tooth and nail all day every day. As a former day care provider, I know that this is normal, yet I want to pull my hair out. I am tired of fighting and I am even more tired of not being heard. I explained to L today that I have a sore foot and while he was bouncing around could he please be mindful of my foot. The next thing I know.....Wham Bam Thank you Mam he steps on my foot! What the H? I just about screamed! I feel sometimes like I might explode. Do I expect too much from them at this age? Am I too controlling? I hope to find and answer before I end up in an asylum. Ok, that is going too far, but you know what I mean.......don't you ;)
