lame-o stuff that no one wants to read about (some good too)

cause it's not really exciting or totally positive, but I'll try...

-I'm tired. I've been working six days a week and while that's not necessarily hard in itself, it's the stress of my home life because I am working so much. The babe has been pushing through all 4 molars at once for as long as I can remember - two are through, two to go. SO has so much work to do but ends up dealing with a 15 month old who just wants his mom that is always at work. SO is frustrated and I am frustrated and baby is frustrated. How do we get through the frustration??

-My cavities are out of control and I haven't been back for a year since they told me that i had a lot of cavities. I can feel the holes in my teeth and I need to go before the fiscal year is up if I want work to pay for $300 of work. Then I can go back in July, in the new fiscal year and get another $300 from work for my teeth. I'm sure it will cost more - especially since I have 4 impacted wisdom teeth. That's not even mentioning my kids' cavities that should be my priority but that $$ comes out of my pocket and they don't want to go to the dentist so the motivation is hard to find.

-Please, someone buy my blazer. I need the money and it's a good freakin deal. Seriously. If I don't pay a portion of my kids' tuition that is so far behind, there is a chance that they won't be able to go next year. Since I would fight fight fight, I'm not super worried, but the worry is there.

-Now my teeth hurt since I was talking about them.

-The baby would not go to sleep last night. He was falling asleep on my shoulder and kept waking himself up to kiss and hug me and make sure that I wouldn't put him down and leave again. This went on until 10:30 when I decided to lay in bed with him. He still was afraid that I would leave so he fought sleep. Then he woke up all night and then again early in the morning then finally at 6:30. I am just so tired. I can't wait for my day off tomorrow.

Some good stuff for balance:
-This baby is so cute. So are his brother and sister (most of the time). I loved seeing my 10yo son cuddling with his baby brother and the cat this morning on the couch.

-When the baby wakes up and I am exhausted and frustrated from not sleeping again, he goes over to the alarm clock and turns on the music and starts dancing. How can anyone be mad at that sweetness?? Then he kisses me to seal the deal. Smart kid, I'm in trouble.

- A friend at work will cover my department tomorrow so that I don't have to come in to work AT ALL on mother's day. I will need to thank her some how because I really need this.

-I will also have Monday off - it's like a freakin holiday! Two days off in a row!

- I am going to be my son's class chaperon for his 4th grade class trip to the Bronx zoo on Thursday. This is cool cause 1.I've never been there and 2.I don't really see myself as old enough to be a class chaperon... but I guess I am! How freakin funny is that. These kids are lucky to have a coolass young mom covered in tattoos as their chaperon. I'm still a kid, but don't tell the grown ups.

I hope all the mamas are doing well. If you made it this far, HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY to you all.

Much love to this kickass group of awesome women.
