This is My Life?

Sometimes I look at my life and I just don't get it. This is really my life? Really? Sometimes, I don't know where to begin. The other two babies have started puking. Piles and piles of laundry. Empty fridge and bare pantry. At work, a patient with terrible leg wounds that I had to dig out and clean (I don't know if I will ever get the rotting flesh smell out of my nose). Patients family were nothing was right and everything was my fault. Really, this is it? You have got to be kidding me. Could you dump on me any more?


Alright, ENOUGH!. Tomorrow, no matter what no more pity party for me! I am done. Happy days will be here again. The loads of laundry are not going to get me down. The crying and whining are not going to beat me. I will get this puke and rotting flesh smell off of me. This too will pass. I can do it! Life bring it on! (Just don't bring it too hard, I am still a little fragile and shaken.)

Oh I so know the feeling. I SO know the feeling. When I was prego with Kainoa we took the girls to Hawaii. Pat spent most of his time with family and friends while I nannied our two cranky toddlers. I had a moment where I just broke down by myself and thought "how is this possible. How is this my life?? Can I leave? Can I start over...I. Just. Can't. Take. It."

Thankfully it passed. Yours will to. I like your attitude!! Keep treading that water!

Oh no... more puking? Poor you! This too shall pass... hopefully sooner than later

Open leg wounds? Reminds me of my days as a sales rep at J&J... selling Regranex.

Hello! Thanks for coming over to visit me, yes Big Brother is a HUGE obsession in my life, I will be blogging about them often (I have the 24/7 live feed) spoiler are usually a given with me and my BB posts.

Like your blog, since I only have 2 kids. 2 and 2 months, it can be done right? I mean you seem to have a world of crazyness, plus there is always a good episode of John and Kate plus 8 to show me that I am not totally insane...

Oh my gosh. I read your previous post and then this one. You, my dear, should be nominated for sainthood. If SITS gives away a cruise (we can hope, right?) I think you should win, hands down!

Missy said...

Oh wow, as if puke wasn't enough, you had to add in the rotting flesh! That'll get ya every time!
If you lived closer I'd fix you up an strong iced irish coffee, which makes most things better. But this day...I dunno! Thanks for stopping by. It can't go on forever, right?

Oh, sweetie, you need a spa day!! I'm so sorry things are rough right now. They'll get better. I promise!

The Evans Crew said...

Oh my! I am so sorry! When I read your post yesterday, I was thinking that the other babies were going to get it (I was hoping not, but kinda figured based on my own personal experiences.)

You are ready for either a vacation or the loony bin (either of which would do I am sure!)

Hang in there! Here's to hoping everyone is better ASAP!!!!

I look at my life sometimes and am sure I'm part of some sick cosmic reality show...

Then I open a bottle of wine....

Unknown said...

Jen You are a terrific mom! I admire your attitude, and I know things will get better for you--I just hope it's soon. It was good to see you all today, and to witness, once again, how well you handle the stress. Just keep doing what you're doing and it will all pay off. I do recommend SEVERAL glasses of wine. Love

digging out rotting flesh? Oh, no. That's the not-so-fun part of being a critical care nurse, huh?
Sheesh, you have it rough right now with sick babies and no groceries! Hang in there.
