Crabby Pants
I have been so crabby and irritable recently. I dont get it. I have no reason to be like this. I feel bad because by the end of the day the simplest little things that DH or DS do irritate the crap out of me and I end up being snippy.
Most nights, as soon as dinner is cleaned up, I want to go sit in bed and watch my shows totally alone. Neither of the boys like the shows I do and I dont like a lot of the shows they do so it makes sense to me that we watch tv seperately. Forever i have sacrificed and watched what they want and now that I have ondemand in our bedroom, I dont have to. But then I feel secluded away from them all the time.
Its been like this for about a month, and Im really getting tired of it. I havent had a period in about 4 months because of the IUD, so its not like I can attribute the moods to PMS. Or even if I could, it still wouldnt make sense because I feel like this all the time.
Maybe its lack of sunlight. I dont know, but it sucks.
Re: Crabby Pants
1. Sorry you feel this way! Sometimes I need time to do my own things, it's kind of why I'm glad H works Saturdays. Maybe pick a night a week to watch your shows alone, so it's not every night?
2. Above like this is a big thing for me. I'm slowly starting to see more sunlight in the morning and coming home and I do feel better. I told my CWs I'm getting a SADD light next year! Now my office has no windows, well there were windows but they walled them up... it's sucking the life out of me!
I get moody this time of year and I truly believe it is seasonally related. Especially when I'm working with kids and we are stuck inside ALL DAY!!
And mana, I feel the same way about DH working. He's been doing extra work on the weekends and just the other day I was thinking...Why couldn't he of had these projects before M came along?? I could of had days of uninterrupted reading and scrapbooking time. :-)
I wouldn't rule out a huge factor in your attitude being the IUD. I mean anytime you mess with your system, start taking something or stop it can effect how you're feeling.
hang in there.

Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one! While I do enjoy having him home evenings now, I do enjoy my day or two (depending on the weekend) to watch my shows, read, clean, organize beyond our weekly stuff. I think everyone needs some me-time!
I was my main thought, if this could be something related to the IUD. But I dont know if it would because I have had it for almost 3 years. I am getting it out next month though. Maybe I should bump up my vitamin D. I dont think Im really prepared to start taking prenatal vitamins just yet.
I've been pissy too. For me, it's definitely the weather and lack of sunlight. Come on spring!
I hope you feel better soon
