I am entirely out of sorts today.
Very glad I have nothing to do and nowhere to go and no one to entertain tomorrow.
My house is a rathole again and I just cleaned it up. The thanklessness and rote routine and monotony just gets me sometimes.
Piles of laundry that I wash and fold, separate into our drawers and give the girls their own baskets to put away. I hang everything, and usually put that away for all of us.
As soon as I make a dent in the pile of clean garments. there's another three baskets coming up to fold.
Sitting down on the toilet to find that the roll is empty. I keep the extra rolls within reach, just put it on.
Cooking unimaginative meals. Hearing complaints (except Ed), and whining at how long it is taking, only to have it go uneaten. Eat a bowl of Doritos and a separate bowl of leftover noodles with butter, wash down with diet Pepsi... because I don't have the energy or inspiration to cook something that I enjoy most of the time.
Wash rinse repeat.
I'm not angry, just tired. Bored, a little. And tired.
Rain for three days (and a week more to follow, it is predicted) is not helping. Though my garden is prospering.
I'm going to sleep in tomorrow, as long as I can. Or maybe not. Maybe I'll wake up as usual and nap at my leisure. In the morning I will hug my children and kiss my husband, because I am Loved and I Love them. I am not ungrateful. Just a little bored of being me right now.
Change is coming, so I'm holding on.
But today I am out of sorts.
Good night.

@BlueCollarGoddess - Yes. That is true. I have kissed my new washer and dryer daily.
@ToReadYou - Thank you.
@one_trached_momma - I know my story is the same for a lot of mamas out there, details differ, but I think a lot of us have days/feelings like that at one time or another.
Dads too, for that matter.
Thanks for the empathy.
@soNOTcool -
I understand only too well.......
Happy Mother's Day.
Mothers amaze me. Especially you.
my house isn't a rat hole. it's a pig sty.
noodles and butter rock, by the way.
@LuckyStars - Yes... it was the most satisfying part of the day. Lots of salt and pepper too.
mmm...salt.
see...i stopped and got a rib plate to go from my favorite dive of a hole in the wall fantabulous bbq place. got home, opened it...they'd misunderstood me...
got bbq beef instead. it was okay. but their fries. crinkle cut. fried...and lip-puckering salty. sometimes, a gal's gotta have her salt.
This is why I skate.
Good morning! And Happy Mother's Day
I wish you sunshine very, very soon!
I would wish you grateful kids, but I think the sun is more likely!
