Day 17

Today was soooo No Bueno!

I wasn't even going to post. I don't have anything funny or witty to say, and I figured who wants to read my rantings and ravings. BUT...this is about my life and I figured life has good and bad days and maybe someone can relate to my bad day.

First, I stayed up WAAAAYYYY past my bedtime last night. You see I am like a child. I need and require many hours of sleepy sleep time. Last night, I got four. This is not enough to fuel me for the day. I am not even sure if it is enough to fuel me for an hour!
I tried coffee and phone calls. Music and cleaning. Nothing seemed to give me any energy or motivation. SO I tried my couch, and that...that felt good. So there I layed all day long. I watched NCIS:LA, Glee, Parenthood and Life Unexpected. These were my Tuesday shows I missed while having company last night. (don't get me wrong, Loved the company! Hated being up too late.)

When I spend days on the couch I feel bad. I am lucky to be a stay at home mom but I feel that eating bon-bons and talking on the phone should not be the extent of my day.

Soon enough it was time for frick and frack to come home from school. It was progress report day. One is doing good, one brought home grades that we have never seen before.
It's when things like this happen that I hate our military lifestyle. When I have to deal with punishments and consequences all alone. When I have to try to figure out why they are acting the way they are. I have to find out if it is because Dad is gone or because we are just being slackers. There is no tag-team or good cop, bad cop. It's just me dealing with the crying and whining!
Needless to say after long talks, that I am pretty sure went in one ear and out the other (cause seriously that's what I did when my mom had the long talks) I have a raging headache.
So I apologize for those looking for my light hearted stories but today was heavy on my heart and hard on my tired body. But... hey that's life right. It may not always be perfect and things may step in and stir it all up but I am a strong person and you're never given more than you can handle....as long as you have a bottle of aspirin.

Now who will bring me a glass of water? It's time for Modern Family and I am back on the couch.
