I've hit my wall (vent)

Well ladies... it's happened... I've hit my wall today. I am just so overwhelmed with everything I have to do before the end of May.. even the end of this week so our house can get updated (tiling and painting). Once the water works started, I haven't been able to stop crying at all today. Duncan is really crabby--no sleep, still teething (I wish that molar would just break through and be done) and refuses a nap. He screams and cries at the top of his lungs every time I put him in the pack 'n' play so I can get something done and I have so much to do on my list before the bathroom refinisher comes tomorrow morning. The sad thing is that I don't have really any friends that I feel like I can ask for help to--they are all so busy with their own lives and the one time I did ask someone for help I got turned down. And my sister told me today that she can not come to help and for Duncan's birthday (as we had been planning for months) because of her own family problems (which I totally understand, but it still hurts). Yes, I'm whining big time, but I just feel so alone right now.

Thanks for letting me vent... I must run now becuase my child has yet again pulled all his books off the shelf and is now going for the dvd player again.

  • Aww, hugs!!! I would come and watch Duncan for you if I could. I bet you are overwhelmed and it is totally understandable. I hope Duncan get in a better mood and you can start getting things done. Hugs again!!!

  • Big hugs on the way.  I'm sorry you are so overwhelmed.  Hopefully Duncan will stop being so crabby soon and that molar will pop through.  If I was closer I would come over and help.  You will find a way to get everything done.  Don't feel bad about asking for help.  sometimes just having someone help for an hour or 2 is all that you need.  Good luck and I hope things get better and you stop feeling so overwhelmed.  It's almost May and that's one month closer to you and Jim being reunited in your new home.  Try to stay positive.

  • I'm sorry you are going through a rough time.  Hopefully things start to calm down.  Just think, each day that passes (no matter how bad) is one day closer to being with DH again!

  • I'm sorry Kate. I know you can do this, and I know you will be able to get it all done. I'm sorry Duncan was crabby today. Just think there are only a few weeks until you, Duncan and Jim are all back together again. ::hug::

  • {{hugs}} I would be over there if we were closer! I can't imagine how hard this has been for you. I hope a good long cry made you feel a little better. Can you ever skip out of work this week while Duncan's at daycare? Or hire one of his teachers / assistant teachers to look after him while you get stuff done?

    Welcome to the dark side

  • I was going to suggest a plea for help on Facebook (which is what my sister-in-law, out in rural washington, chasing around an 18 month old, with no family around to help, does when she just needs help) and then, before I wrote it, I checked FB and saw you DID do that, and you got some great offers of help out there!

    Just because people couldn't help you out the one time you asked in the past doesn't mean they won't next time.  You keep finding a way to ask for what you need, and you'll keep finding that people care about you and have the ability to occasionally get it to you!  The many many comments on your FB page prove that. 

    In the meanwhile, there are going to be good days and bad days, and you keep venting here whenever you like, and we'll keep sending out virtual hugs!

    Hang in there!
