Watch out world - mama's grumpy today.




Yeah, I'm grumpy. Seriously grumpy. Do you wanna know why? Well, me too. I don't have a reason except that everything living, breathing and moving is pissing me off. And the first person to say "Love those pregnancy hormones!" gets a swift kick in the keister from me, got it?

Cara spilled syrup on the kitchen floor. And by on I mean ALL FREAKING OVER. She tried to dab at it with a paper towl and I said, "That's not doing anything - get some clorox wipes and clean it up!" So, she did as she was told and spread the syrup from one end of the kitchen floor, to the other. Then she dumped her plate in the sink and got syrup all over the faucet and the wall behind the sink. Come ON!

Brennan just wants to nurse all the damned time and I gotta tell ya? I am not interested. You wanna nurse at naptime or before bed? Giddy up. You wanna walk around attached to my boob all day like a newborn? Get a job.

Sienna lacks a filter between her brain and her mouth. I know, she inherited it from me so I shouldn't be shocked but for crap's SAKE! Can she PLEASE think before she says just whatever pops into her brain?? Oh, and? She broke her damned violin yesterday. The one we rent? Right. Hopefully it won't be too expensive to fix. Oh - and when we, her parents that foot the bill, DARED to be upset that the violin was broken SHE got all indignant and upset like WE were out of line. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Corban just likes to scream and hollar and throw tantrums. I love 3. Have I ever mentioned that? 3 is my favorite age. *cough cough*

Rob, God Bless Him, thinks that if I could just have sex then everything would be all better. YEs, I know in man-land it's a cure-all but over here in the land of estrogen it doesn't quite work that way. What I NEED is a new hair cut, a cute new outfit and a martini, damnit. Then maybe we can talk about sex. Since I can't have a martini for a year or more than I guess it's gonna be a long, quiet period, eh? I kid.

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention I can't have sex. Or exercise. Or do anything overly physical or anything that involves twisting. The Dr said, "Try not to carry your kids, too." And I laughed. Oh, that funny funny lady.

I've been put on modified rest because I have a cyst on my right ovary that's bigger than the baby, yo. I look twice as pregnant as I am because the cysts is so huge and taking up so much room. It's actually squishing the baby to the left side of my uterus. Good news - unless it twists or ruptures we just leave it be. Bad news: if it twists or ruptures we do surgery and there's a good chance I lose the ovary. I had it checked on Monday and it hasn't grown any more - it shrunk a fraction - so we're thinking maybe it will just reabsorb and go away.

My kids have been sick since last week - The Boy had pneumonia and Care Bear and B have an upper respiratory infection. Both of them puked. All three had super high fevers. Last night was the first night I slept, only waking up once with B, in a week. I hate February. It's like this EVERY year. Ridiculous. Bring me spring. Bring me sunshine!

Now, I've finished my bagel and coffee and I must go clean the syrup off the kitchen ... everything. Then I have to resweep and mop the entry way because apparently the rugs and mats are there for decoration ONLY and not to put your wet muddy shoes on. Luckily, when I ran to the store this morning because we ran out of Apple Juice *gasp*, I decided to reward myself with food and I bought a nice big ole salad and some stir fry steak. Lunch is a bright shining beacon on the horizon!

Have a Friday.

I hope it gets better soon. I won't offer advice. I will not poke an angry mama bear. I know better!

My goodness! Other than the pregnancy, my week sounds pretty similar to yours! We had dr's appointments, tube surgery, and now pneumonia all in less than 4 days! And I can so relate to the syrup thing...when we were on vacation last week Grant decided to open his own little syrup container and spill it all over the table, chair, and his last set of clean clothes! Needless to say we drove the whole 9 hours home, smelling maple syrup! I hope things start to get better soon:)

Don't you just love it when a doctor tells you that you can't lift your children or carry them. Cause yeah...that's gonna work! haha

Jenny said...

Mmmm, yeah. Rob must've gone to the same school as my husband. No touchy!

Emily said...

Awe, I feel so bad for you. If I could I would send you a box of girl scout cookies.

Beth E. said...

Bless your heart...

It's been a very sad day here.

Hugs for you,
Beth

JenT said...

Oh man. Can you make it two more days until March? Or does March suck too?
Well, I sure do hope that cyst shrinks even more.

Lauren said...

That just sucks. And then Emily has to go and wave a girl scout cookie in your face...that's just mean! Do you want me to beat her up? ;)

Trudy said...

My goodness, I have missed something terribly important here. CONGRATULATIONS! I had no idea you were pregnant.

Oh, and the grouchy thing is going on here today too...EVERYTHING is annoying the crap out of me. And I refuse to blame it on the pregnancy hormones too, people are just really stupid today, so I can't help it.

Hope the day gets better for you Heidi!

Braley Mama said...

Girl I am praying for you today!!!!!!
Even when you are having a hard time you are still the funnies person!
I love the line to your baby..."Get a job!" Awesome!

-stephanie- said...

Well, lunch sounds good anyway. Um....that's all I got. I'm staying away from angry mama bear too.

Dana-from chaos to Grace said...

WOW....my heart is with you.

Actually, it's not, cuz if it were you, I'd be drinking that martini and I'm not a drinker, so that's sayin' somethin'.

My sincere sympathies though. If you ever need a place to hide out for awhile, I'll by your Thelma to your Louise.

Susie said...

That all would make me very crabby too!!

Heidi @ Tayterjaq's Rebels said...

I hope your incredibly sucky day got better after you ate your yummy lunch.
Good news over our way...Dan got a job. It has some AWFUL aspects to it and I will post about that soon. For now, he starts Monday! WooHoo!

christy rose said...

I am sorry that you are having such a bad day!! Hopefully spring and sunshine coming soon will help. :)

purplemoose said...

Dang Heidi!!! I hope the cyst doesn't give you any more grief. A friend just had fibroids giving her problems in pregnancy. Serious, not fun stuff.

Nikki B. said...

LOL...telling B to get a job!!! hilarious!

hang in there momma!

webberpa said...

What else can possible go wrong? But, hey let the kid sup from the boobs as long as he wants to, it will pay off years and years from now. Thats a man's point of view, just saying.

minor catastrophes said...

Oh, I hope this sunshine and the warmer temps are doing you good. They've successfully given me spring fever (which means I'll be a grouch when it gets cold and snowy again.)

Last thing you need right now is germy kiddos. Hope it all passes soon, girlfriend.

Kasey said...

Man, Heidi. It sounds terrible, but you must be OK because you're still laughing..I mean making us laugh (Thanks for that, btw). I thought I had it bad because I have one nose-picker potty training right now. Nope, not gonna complain anymore.
