Our home is a madhouse. There's hardly ever a moment of silence. Just the other day, I was having a conversation with a family friend that had stopped by for a visit. During our talk, I realized it's been a long time since I've done anything without any of the kids with me. I'm in need of a break!
I know many of you can relate to what I'm saying. Even being a stay home mom, my life is just filled with chaos. I wonder how moms with more children than me can do it. My kids wear me out most days, I couldn't imagine life with any more than what we've got. I've been extremely stressed this week. More so than usual.
Allie has been, well, a big bratty ball of fire. She has been so demanding and bossy, more so than usual. Everything is a constant battle lately from getting her clothes on to what she's going to eat( her preferred choice would be candy), to her bathtime. She's always been pretty outspoken, as my other kids are, but this is just beyond that.
Caleb and DJ are their typical selfs. But, since Allie is been such a booger, their rowdiness is just irking me. They can't seem to play quietly at all. They've actually been pretty good compared to normal, but by the time they get home from school I'm just exhausted from my day with Allie.
We had a great time at the park this morning though. It was quite enjoyable to get out of the house and have a good time. No fighting or bickering, and Allie only threw one little fit. DJ is with his dad this weekend, so Caleb stays pretty calm with just Allie here. DJ seems to be doing okay with this, but his relationship with Brandon has changed. He's been acting weird towards him, and won't even say "I love you" to him.
Last Sunday I finally had my IUD taken out. I've felt so much better with it out, and my bleeding stopped the next day. I've decided to switch doctors, just because I don't really like this one. I was told at the ER that I shouldn't have been bleeding for as long as I did. And, my doctor gave me Naproxen for the pain, which seems a little stupid considering I was bleeding so much to begin with.
The kids are out the whole week for Thanksgiving. I'm cooking for my side of the family, and we'll be visiting my husband's family this week as well. So, I plan to be pretty busy. What are your plans?

As a Mom to teens, I have felt that way many times and STILL do! There's always craziness going on. Chaos everywhere- normal, what's that? We actually have Christmas this evening with my side of the family. Thanksgiving is usually pretty quiet, I cook a turkey and the side dishes for the four of us. We don't get together with my hubby's side for Thanksgiving of Christmas. Kind of strange, and weird to not have places to be- etc. on those days. Not much different than any other day for us! Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Glad to know it's not just my house that is chaotic. As we speaking I'm begging my 4 yr old son to let me have 30 minutes to myself. I have two boys and this house is never quiet. Luckily the grandparents take them often so hubby and I can relax :)
Having Thanksgiving at my parents and Christmas with hubby's side at our house.
Hey girlie! You know my house is chaos most of the time too! It's okay, I've just accepted the fact that that's life with kids. :D
Heading out of town on Wednesday to visit my parents and my side of the family. Not looking forward to the drive, but I miss my little sis!
It's been crazy here too girl - my son is 13 and everything is a constant battle, and my youngest is 10 and has ADHD. it's definitely good to get them out and let them work off some of their energy.
As for the holidays, the kids and I will be spending it at a friend's. I miss the days when the family used to all gather at our house (my parents) when I was younger but no one is close anymore. :-(
I hope things get a little easier for you and your family soon! And hopefully you get to take some me-time...whatever that is! :)
