So today sucked too. I don't know what my problem is but I just cannot enjoy myself at home. There is the occasional laugh, and of course the hugs, kisses and snuggles from the kids are awesome, but I feel like I just do not have the energy or whatever it is that I need to be there for my kids in the way they want/need me to be. My almost 4 yr old daughter is bored stiff at home, and my almost 1 year old is actually starting to get there, too. I'm sorry, but I just do not enjoy pretending to be a cat for hours on end and forcing myself to come up with a multitude of things to entertain the kids--and then having to clean it all up 2 mintues later when they get bored with that, too. I don't like being creative, and the sheer mind-numbing dullness of kiddie games drives me insane.
I've been thinking more and more about getting a job when we move...the only question is whether we'll be able to afford preschool/daycare, esp since I don't want to work full-time. I think if I had a few hours a day away from the kids--doing something I enjoy doing--I bet I would be a much better mom. I know I'm a boring mom, which is ironic because I took several child development classes. My kids really do deserve better, and unfortunately, I don't think I can give that to them.
I am under a lot of stress, with my uncles death and the flight to CA coming up and money troubles and not getting a decent night's sleep...ever. So I know that that is affecting my mood. I just wish I could put it all aside for the benefit of my children.

Reading your post's like looking back in time at myself! I have 5 kids - all wonderful - all demanding etc - work's always been a haven where I could be myself as opposed to someone's mum. I suppose the only problem's when work ceases to be that haven and becomes the thing you want to escape from.... choose well and don't become too dependant on the money... good luck...

There is a wonderful website called WAHM (Work At Home Moms) and you can sign up for jobs and then have the two kids registered at a daycare. They can then interact with other children and you can either work at home or find a part time job that you said you would not mind. Lets change the UGH to AHH.
Search "resumes" under thoughts.com and you should see my ad under kindagoffigan. I am here to help. I have raised six children from 10 to 34 now and I can still smile. Look me Up.
