Feeling Like A Bad Mom..

No, I don't do drugs..never have, never will. I don't smoke and I don't drink. Today was just really hard. With Braxton growing everyday and getting smarter, days keep getting harder. We had to sit for an hour today, waiting..waiting for him to actually want to take his medicine that he needed. AN HOUR!!! And then..after his nap, we had to wait for about half an hour or so. How do I even have hair left??

He's 2 and knows exactly how to push my buttons. I find that to be a little crazy but I don't think that me being home with him 24/7 helps a whole lot. I lose my patience a lot more often & easier. And when I come to visit my parents and my mom tries to help me and advice me, it's hard. It's hard for me to take constructive criticism and so I feel like a terrible mother. I'm trying to tell myself that it's normal but it's so hard! Honestly, there's nothing more than I want than to just have my sweet, innocent, little boy back. I know that's a long shot but good grief, he's wearing me out and QUICK. I know I need a break but then I feel guilty. For the others out there that can't wait to just get pregnant and start a family, for the ones who want nothing more than what I have. They don't care about the issues and hardships. And a lot of people, like me, don't get a break. Ever. 

On another note, I made my parents dinner tonight & my mom, Braxton, and I had a blast! :) I made that Tortellini Bake, which I love, and now, they do too! Score! My mom made the chicken that we added to it so it made it more of a 'meal' and Braxton had a pancake. He's a little spoiled. 
quick picture of the cookers! :)



So, do any other mom's have these kinds of days as well? Any tips? 

Anyways, that's about it for the night. I could probably go on and on but I'm sure you guys would get sick of it. Haha. Good night, y'all! =)

love always.

  1. I have to say, reading about how frustrated you get makes me appreciate that I just do your job for 8 hours a day. :) And when they really drive me nuts, I can step out of the room for a few minutes. I know it will be a whole new ball game when I have one of my own.

  2. Haha I know!!! I just think it's so much harder because he's so used to me and everything and I don't have an "outlet" really..and I don't have the 'luxury' of just going off and doing whatever I want. or going home and "relaxing" lol
    Hopefully it'll be easier for you!! :)
