The Venting Post
There are few moments of peace in my life these days. Max is incredibly active (see yesterday's post), Dylan is a typical, demanding four-year-old, my job is stressful, my house is a mess that won't sell, etc. etc.
I try to grab peace where I can. Like, first thing in the morning. I wake up before the kids, go downstairs to get a cup of coffee, and get back in my warm bed to wake up slowly with my hot drink and my laptop. I check email, catch up on blogs, and get ready for the chaos of the day.
Michael, however, insists on destroying my me-time by listing all of the things I need to do (laundry, straightening, dry cleaners, food shopping) and complaining about all of the things I don't (forgetting to make coffee the night before, leaving items on top of the hampers, making it TERRIBLY HARD for him to lift the lids and place dirty clothes inside, etc.). News flash: hearing about chores, tasks and my shortcomings as your personal housekeeper does not make my day start off on a positive note. It makes me fucking pissed and cranky and unable to handle the stresses of the kids, my job, finances and general life.
Not a good day.
