Frustrated!

Well, I'm having one of those frustrating days...I work 3 days a week, and so the 2 weekdays that I am home, I feel like there is not enogh time for anything! The days I am home seem like the most stressful..more than when I am at work! I feel like I can't devote all the time that I should to my kids, because I am also trying to get errands and chores done. It is very hard to get chores done on the weekends too, because Tom works graveyard shifts, and is usually pretty tired and needs to sleep. (although I would need a lot more sleep than he does if I were doing the same shift!) Last week, Tom was sleeping, and I was trying to do some organizing...the next thing I know, Hannah is yelling, "Mommy, Ian has blood all over his hands!" Sure enough, he had gone into the bathroom where Tom had left his razor out, and was playing with it!! UGhhhhhh!!!! Ian had quite the cut on his finger, but luckily it is healing fast!

Tom worked last night, so today I have been trying to do some outside chores. Once again, I felt guilty because I should have spent more time with the kids...I was out in the yard pulling crap out of the shed in order to reorganize things for the winter. I was putting away summer toys, taking down our swing, pulling old pools out of the shed, etc..just trying to get ready for the winter. Then I tried to haul a huge garbage can full of bark and weeds to the car, to take it to the dump!! I the meantime, the kids are alone in the house, and of course, woke Tom up. Then I tired to make him help me load the car for the dump....it has just been a frustrating day! Sorry to vent! Tom does a lot to help me out, esp on the days that I am at work. He usually always has dinner ready when I get home, and the house picked up. He is really good that way, and is such a good daddy! Just frustrating to try and get all of the things done that need to be!

Anyway, I just have to talk about Hannah for a minute. SHe told me today that my nose is big and long...I've always been self conscious about my nose, and we all know that kids don't lie!! I have got to start saving my money to get a nose job!!! As some people know, Hannah is our little princess! She really thinks she is a princess. Belle is her favorite, although she loves all of them. Each night in her prayers, she names off almost all of them..Gee, what about the rest of us?? Just kidding! Some nights, she also throws us in for kicks!! I have been working on making her room into a princess room. It is a bit much, but she really likes it. I have included some pics here for your viewing! We're not done quite yet, but getting close.. by the way, the TV was given to her by her grandma, not us! Have a super duper day!
