Meltdown

Ever have a day that just makes you want to scream? Where finding anything good is almost impossible? I think that sometimes we moms just bottle it up inside and just label it as feeling hormonal...that "time of month." Not that I don't think hormones play a part but sometimes it is just a breaking point. One that just pushes you over the edge.

It was just that way...I wanted to just go to the bathroom with out having someone either standing beside me watching, banging on the door wanting in, siblings fighting over something stupid, the dog under my feet, or the cat rubbing on my leg. I was exhausted, frustrated, worn out, and had had enough. Now, I realize that parenthood requires total and utter devotion but there still has to be a few moments of ME time. Moments to pee alone, moments to think, moments to let the body relax without having someone crawling on me, and moments to just breathe! I am not asking for the moon ... just a few moments to think about me.

So ... the next time the door to the bathroom is shut ... don't worry, be patient please ... I promise I will be out in a moment.
