Irritable Sunday Afternoon
I’m feeling quite irritable this afternoon. And my day started off so well!! Maybe I’m getting sick. My poor boy is feeling bored and starved for attention and today, for some reason, I just don’t have the energy to give him what he’s needing. This is when my Mother usually swoops in and saves me. I can call her and see what she’s doing and ask her if she wants to do something with the boy if I need a rest and she’ll do it. Today however, I don’t want to bother her. Not that it is a bother to her, mind you. She loves LOVES her time with the boy. I just feel like a burden on her precious little free time. So I’m doing everything I can this afternoon to remain calm, and patient (not a quality that your gal pal Tams has) and polite so that our precious boy does not suffer for my mood swings.
Also contributing to my cranky behavior, I have a wisdom tooth that seems to be growing in and is causing me much pain and suffering. It’s difficult to eat. It’s difficult to do anything other than complain and dig at it with a toothpick. The sad thing, I have great dental insurance through my office, but it’s nearing the end of October and I have used it all up for the year. Alas, I must wait until January to get this taken care of. So my dear friends, pray that I just have something stuck in there and that I’ll work it out today or you’re all going to be made miserable for the next 3 months. Dental work is extremely expensive. I can’t afford to pay for crap like this, ESPECIALLY going into the Christmas season. Word.
good luck with the toof. I hate wisdom teeth–they sort of flair up on occasion and then lie dormant for a while.
As for the boy–it’s difficult to deal. Yes, you are a mother, but that doesn’t mean you are no longer a person, a woman with your own moods, emotions, and needs. You’ll make it up to him.

Sorry to hear about the tooth. My last two dental problems were both wisdom teeth that I had to have emergently extracted. I do have some Vicodin left over from the last one if you need it! I feel ya about the upcoming holiday season. I think the gift giving this year will be toned down as my house as exhausted my finances. Then of course there is car insurance and property taxes in December! To top it all off, I’m not sure we’ll be getting bonuses this year
