Where have I been?

   OMG!!! I am so over this quarantine crap. I'm going on week 6 of being trapped in this house with 5 kids and no way to escape. Someone please rescue us. I understand that everything is starting to open back up.. But no school? Really? You can't give me some sort of break after me having to play teacher and mom for nearly a semester of school? I'm losing my mind and my voice. 
    Kids don't want to do their school work. They don't know how to play quietly. And if I want my house clean, I have to pretty much clean 24/7 because just as soon as I get one room clean they have destroyed another. Where does this end? I am drained. I feel like I need a week of sleep and relaxation. Can I self quarantine to my room.. lock all the doors and windows and refuse to leave? 
    Okay... maybe I am exaggerating some.. but that doesn't mean that I'm not exhausted. I very well am. I've reached that point where all it takes is one wrong look or one wrong word and I snap. I really do need a break. I don't know how much longer I can handle all of this. I've tried using a reward system to get the kids to mind and it didn't work. I've taking away all distractions...that didn't work. What else is there to do? I definitely was not cut out to be a teacher. I miss my quiet time.
    And to top it all off, I'm going to be going through a crap ton of extra stress soon because I have 6 birthdays coming up within the next few months. So yay me. Not really. I hate planning birthday parties. And what are you supposed to do for birthdays when not everything is up and running again yet? I'm beyond done with this Covid-19 crap. I want normalcy. I want quiet. I want to get out of this damn house.

    I am WAY over this quarantine crap. Our stay-at-home orders expire on Thursday, and our governor is supposed to make an announcement today of what we are doing from here. The lockdowns have hurt more people than the virus, and the economic impact has been devastating. I really don't believe any of this has been helpful.

This week in review

-
   I would be lying if I said this week has been any easier than the ones it followed. It's actually been more hectic than the weeks before. With school being out longer than what was originally foreseen, well it's been a pain in the ass. I'm actually hoping that school decides to tack on a week or two once they do return. This momma needs a break. But if we are being completely honest... I wish they would continue the school year through most of the summer.. or at very least offer summer schooling. I think that would be considered fair since my kids fight me so hard on doing their school work and turning it in on time. Homeschooling is definitely not for the faint of heart. It will drive you insane.     On the plus side of things, we got a midweek visit from Daddy. His load schedule allowed him to come home for 24 hours in between loads. So yay for us. Brandi and I both needed some Daddy time. The kids weren't so happy to see him though. They were all in trouble for g

In my feelings

                                       Okay, so I'll admit that lately the lack of a relationship with my parents has been weighing heavily on me. I look at my kiddos and see all the joy and happiness they bring me and wonder how can any parent not want that with their own flesh and blood... or with any child they lay claim to? My kids are the very reason I live and breath. While yes, there are plenty of times they cause what seems like and incurable migraine, they bring me so many happy moments as well.     I never got the feeling that I made either of my parents happy at any point. My father raised 3 children that were not his and didn't even meet me until I was 12. Then he didn't return until I was 17. Sad to say our moral values didn't align and that relationship was short lived. My mother raised me, mostly, but we never had a connection either. In fact most of my life I felt that I was a mistake and unwanted. That didn't change in my adult life either.        I

Just popping in

    Since quite a few of my followers only knew me by my blog, I've decided to do random pop ins. I wanted to let you all know that I am doing amazing. I've really been enjoying life. Daily visits to the park, and using my extra time to take care of myself. Today was a manicure, shopping, and girl time with my SIL. I'm currently on a trip out of town with the hubby to do some more shopping for myself and little man and a dinner date with my love.
