Mommy Needs a Break

Have you ever read an article on Facebook and thought "wow, they get me". Well this popped up in my feed a couple days ago and I really wanted to hug the woman that wrote it. There never really is a good way to express to your working husband that you need a break without feeling like you're discounting that they've been working all. day. long.

This has to be one of my favorite scenes from Family Guy, like, ever. Now I just want to give Lois a hug because Evie has been pulling this crap on me for the past two weeks. She is adorable and cute and I love her, but sometimes I just want to play on my computer by myself. I'm getting to the point where I feel like all of my nerves are on the outside of my body and Evie is poking them.

I guess what's driving me the most crazy is that it's the holiday season and stuff is just nuts. I would usually get a reprieve when John returns, but no such luck this time. It's gonna be holiday prep to spending time with family, to spending time with family, to spending time with family.

I've been seriously lacking in the adult conversation department due to the fact that I've yet to make adult friends here in Connecticut. Something's gotta give! I watch Disney Jr. for hours a day, to the point where I've wanted to strangle Mickey Mouse with his high pitched voice. 

I'm so sorry Mickey, you get the aggression.

So yeah, mommy really needs a break. The good news is that John will be home on Wednesday! I just want to take a warm bubble bath with a book, without Evie frantically knocking on the door because she can't get her Minnie Mouse bow on. *sigh* It's uphill from here.
