Can I scream? Major Mommy Rant...

I want to scream like the kids and throw a fit. But no I am an adult and I can't do that.  My head is killing me-that argument with Chris last night did not help it. The kids won't take a nap.  I dropped a gallon  of milk on the parking lot at WalMart. I forgot to stop by Walgreens and get diapers. I need to clean my house. Laundry needs to be folded. I am so tired and worn down. It is a beautiful day outside and I am depressed. sigh.

The only people I ever talk to are the kids, Chris, and my mother. I talk to my BFF once a week, if that-but its not the same.  I want day to day interaction with adults, but I can't get a job and afford daycare.  I would like to start working in the evenings but I know Chris wouldn't go for that. 

I wish mom and dad would watch the kids for a weekend for us, but they won't even keep them for 1 night.  Its not fair.  Grandparents are suppossed to be happy to keep their grandkids, but not my parents-since they are raising one of them.  I wish Chris and I could just get away for a couple of days and not have to worry about the kids, animals, keeping the house clean, etc.

I want a clean house. I want it to stay that way. I am so tired of dirt-not just dust--- mud, wood chips, crumbs, DIRT!  No one ever picks anything up, or even tries to clean up messes.  Chris will spill something, get a towel and leave the towel on it. ugh.

Oh and my vaccuum sucks...well actually it doesn't suck-that is the problem. Who ever thought it was smart to put all those stupid foam filters in it should be shot.  I have washed them numerous times and they are falling apart...and no they don't sell replacements for them anywhere that I can find- I even looked online.  I think I need a new one, but I hate to spend much on a vaccuum when the only carpet I have is Cooper's room and the area rug.  Of course I use it in other places too though, more the attachements though.   The damn thing wouldn't even suck up a cobweb! ugh.

Everything that we got as a wedding present is tearing up. We will celebrate 5 years in July. 5 years! Things should last longer than 5 years.  My cookstove only has 3.5 working burners--the main one in the front only works part of the time-and I already tried a new burner--it is the stove.  My stand mixer sucks- the bowl is tearing up and I can't get replacement parts because they discontinued the line and no other bowls are compatabile.  and my vaccuum.  oh and my wall mirror in my bedroom fell off the wall a few days ago and took some of the sheetrock with it...

I want to paint my living room. I want sheetrock on my walls. I am really tired of the blue walls. It makes it so dark in here.  I want white walls-or something really light like a cream color.  Dark floors, brown furniture, Dark Blue walls, and white trim makes a really dark living room. 

I just want to be happy.  I can't get Chris to help me with anything!  I NEED help with my nestboxes.  He acts like he doesn't care.  Says he doesn't have the time-but then goes over to dad's and works on a tractor. Since when does his FIL come before his wife?  That doesn't seem right to me at all.  I am glad they get along, but he needs to learn to say no. No I have things I need to do at home. Erin needs my help.  ugh. 

I guess I need to quit venting but I am so irriated. I need some mommy make me happy pills- maybe they would help me....
