Day off.....
It has been a DAY. You know it's been a bad, stressful, trying day when this is what you're drinking at 3:00 in the afternoon...
Now I'm not much of a drinker at all folks. But my sanity is on the brink of being lost, and I must relax. The boys have been everything but obediant the past few days, and I'm tired of trying every trick in the book to get them to be respectful. So far they have completely lost their TV privilage til who knows how long(which is probably part of my loss of sanity since that always gives me a break!). It's SOOOO frustrating as a stay-at-home mom when your children don't obey, don't listen, don't respect you, constantly fight....I could go on and on.
Don't worry......the children are fast asleep while I drink my grape Smirnoff. Is it possible to just take a "day off" from parenting? We should be allowed as stay-at-home moms to have sick days, personal days, and vacation days....just like any other job:-) I count it a MAJOR blessing to be able to stay home with my children, and contrary to the post today, I usually LOVE it. But there are just some DAYS................

Hilar!!! I am on the phone with a friend now laughing out loud at your blog. It has been that kind of a day for me also. Check out my blog. It has been indeed a day. Do Yo THANG...one for my SAHM's
I believe all children have days like that regardless of your parenting ability. And you should get a day off. It is called dad's day to babysit!!!!
Though many parents might be inclined to think it is payback for your own childhood and the way you were in the early years, I would be hard-pressed to believe that because you were such a wonderful child--though you did get into issues with your sibblings. Anyways, they do grow up and become literate and somewhat functional citizens--too fast (though not fast enough on bad days)
Julie,
I relate with your post more than you'll EVER know!! I'm raising my Smirnoff to those DAYS!
