A Private Moment

Take one rough day week at work.

Add to that being stuck in ungodly traffic for what feels like an eternity.

Mix in dealing with a two year old being typically terrible.

What do you get? 

A woman who snaps at her two year old for spilling juice. A woman who barely speaks to her husband over dinner.  A woman who takes a double dose of NyQuil even though she was well over her cold two days ago and passes out on the couch before the dinner dishes are done without any regard for the house, the kid or the hubby because really sometimes it just seems like too much to the point where when Friday finally does comes around, anything left in her is just about shot to shit and useless anyway.

{deep breath}

That woman was me last night. Well thankfully, today I feel refreshed and recharged.  I spent the early morning happily playing games with my terrific two year old.  Then later, over coffee, my husband and I had a lively discussion on a myriad of topics, including how we will spend our day together.

But here’s the clincher.  Had I not made the choice to share with you this very private moment of my latest meltdown, you wouldn’t even know about it. 

Poor Britney.

That’s all I have to say about it.

[Oh, The Joys]

So sorry you've had a rough week. I've been missing you!

[Heather(Queen of the Mayhem)]

You make a very valid point! I have often said I am SO glad that I do not have cameras on me 24/7! I shudder to think what they would catch me doing! I have had weeks like that! UGH! Thank goodness our husbands love us and our kids are resilient! AND...sometimes thank goodness for Nyquil! (Or appletinis....they both have the same effect)

I feel ya! My week wasn't quite as bad, but nearly had the same effect. I was wishing I could've just come home from work last night and passed out... instead of picking up and caring for my two girls and then making dinner for everyone when hubby got home. :o( I love being a Mom, but there are some days when I wish they were old enough to be self-sufficient.

Oh my GOODNESS I know that feeling! Very well put! Hey I added you to my blogroll.

[Pendullum]

Very well put...

So sad abut the hero worship of this young, young girls...
and all the trappings that follow fame...
from following them around the bars, to following them into their boudoirs... pretty sad...
and I am so glad I do not have cable...as the networks really are buying it all up and selling it...selling it... for public comsumption...

oh sister love. if. only. we. could. go. for. a. drink.

We all have bad days. Being a mommy is stressful. Don't ever doubt you are a good mommy. You're just not perfect and who wants a perfect mommy anyway? That's just too much pressure for a kid.

[Mad Hatter]

Mmmm. Nyquil. My drug of choice is booze.

[mad muthas]

glad you feel better. that's the wonder of otc medication!

[Paige]

Girl, you are awesome.

So sorry you've had a stressful time. But you're handling it all so well!

[you da mom]

yikes. it's so true. it's really no mystery the girl has completely lost her mind. we all have these days, moments, years! breathing is good.

Point.

It really would suck to have your every move splashed across the papers on a daily basis.
