I have plenty of reasons but I am not posting every day. I’ll spare you the whining and just say, screw this. I’ll post when I post. It’s rough when you’re a mom. This weekend was especially stressful because Elliot was all kinds of stopped up. One mozzarella stick too far? All weekend he kept telling me “poopy” in this pathetic whiny voice and it was like, well, I’m feeding you fruit and fiber filled foods and pear juice and it’ll happen when it happens. Which happened to be this morning, thankfully, because whiny two year old + pregnant mom = I’m going outside to mow the lawn because I’d rather be in pain and sweaty than deal with you.

SIGH.

I found that once he was relieved and empty, I felt immensely better. I must have been stressed out FOR him. And you wonder why moms complain a lot. Not only are we under appreciated but we carry the weight of everyone’s problems on our shoulders, usually without complaint. We only cry on the inside until we just can’t take it anymore.

So my weekend was a bust in that department yet successful in others. I managed to find some maternity jeans for 20 bucks, which is justifiable. I also walked out of Gymboree with a long sleeved shirt and a pair of footies for 13 bucks – total. That’s amazing, people! I also stocked up on a lot of household items we’d been low on, which tends to stress me out. So aside from Elliot’s awful behaviour, the weekend wasn’t AWFUL. I DID get to take a nap, after all. Anyway, how was your weekend? Anything exciting?
