Oh the Stress!!!!!

Posted 01-29-2008 at 11:36 AM by nikissecond
Ok, so this is my first ever blog entry. And probably the first of many to come. I have recently realized that some things, even just to vent are just better expressed via blog, journal or whatever. I am a happy member of the born in January 07 boards and frequent visitor of our site but brand spankin new to the blogging world. In the recent weeks I have been a walking talking stress ball so here we go... I am the proud mother of a five year old son and 12 month old daughter and very happily married to the most incredible guy ever. I work at a bank with three of the most amazing women at my side which makes for a nice and entertaining day of funny pregnancy stories, silly mishaps and quite alot of snacking and my husband is a mail carrier for the u.s. postal service so in that regard, things are super. But come along on this journey with me...... My husband hasnt been home that much due to his branch being very short staffed on mail carriers and my children have been little monsters and quite frankly...that is putting it nicely. My daughter is now walking and all over the place and in to everything. My son is going through this rebellious faze and just doesnt listen to a thing I say and has a mouth on him that drives me nuts. I am physically and mentally exhausted because of all of this and I pass out like a drunk person at night. I know what you are thinking already, ok dont we all have this stress why are you whining? Well yes I am absolutely certain that all women do but I just needed to vent I guess. I try not to nag and stress out my hard working tired hubby so writing it out in a blog... here I go. I mean how do women everywhere juggle their children, full time job, duties at home and getting enough time to have some one on one time with your husband before you pass out at night? Man women are amazing creatures. Im sure there are millions of blog entries out there just like mine but what the hell we have to vent somehow right? I mean I could start a journal but I was thinking, what if my children come across it one day down the road and say wow mom thought we were little monsters? And my husband says well crap, my wife really did want some "quality time" with me but she really was tired, and I ended up sounding like a blubbering idiot. Wow, a nice little piece of me to leave behind huh? I think not! So thanks for listening to my rant and happy blogging ladies

I don't know how women do it, if you figure it out- make sure you tell us
Hope tonight goes better for you.

I think women have some sort of super-human gene. We are the ultimate multi-taskers. Just when you don't think you could handle or take on one more thing, you do and to outsiders you look flawless.

Hey honey you dont have to justify yourself because you want to let out a little bit of steam! Your right we do all have stress (well everyone i know anyway) but its all relative! Being a wife and mother, an emloyee. a friend, a colleague, a sister/daughter its overwhelming most of the time coupled with the fact you dont know if your doing any of it right!!! You have every right to vent and your certainly not hurting anyone here so go for it!!!
