It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

So have you ever had one of those days where the stupidest things make you emotional????? Things like trying to get pizza dough to spread on a cookie sheet and it keeps getting holes in it and I am like, come on this is the same recipe I always use why is there not enough DOUGH to cover the pan!!! It was making me so mad. This was yesterday. And then I went to get the pizza sauce and guess what, it was MOLDY. I was SOOOO MAD! I didn’t even have any spaghetti sauce or tomato paste to make any. Nate told me he’d like it even without pizza sauce so I’m like all right whatever, so I threw cheese and pepperoni on there and you know what it wasn’t bad. Still. I was almost in tears.

Probably cause earlier in the day I took the kids grocery shopping and hearing “I want this” and “Can we get this” and “But why can’t we buy that” the whole time about drove me insane. I swear I used to think my kids were SO awesome running errands with me, in fact it was kind of fun… yeah right, I don’t know when they got so greedy but now they have like sticky fingers walking down the aisles, “I WANT I WANT I WANT” I was getting so impatient with them and I didn’t care who knew it. Yeah. In fact the whole day I felt like they were out of control, and I was out of control. Some days of motherhood are so dang warm and fuzzy and then some are like YESTERDAY where I am saying “Quit whining at me!!” 8 billion times. And the house is trashed and all I want is a clean place to relax and there isn’t one? Yeah those days make me feel like crying all day too.

And then, while I love transcribing I am SO SLOW right now and of course I expected that but I can’t wait until the day I am fast and actually making real money. Argh and I hate asking for help, but it’s a new job, yeah I have a ton of questions and get confused and then I feel stupid. I hate feeling STUPID!

I really feel like I’m a person who has a handle on things most of the time but just so you all know some days I feel like a CRAZY PERSON! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! And I am like I. JUST. CAN’T. DO. IT.

My hormones are like super out of whack, and hello, I haven’t even had the baby yet.

I had a doctor’s appointment on Monday and I’m dilated to a 2 or 3 and he asked me about being induced, and while yes I want to sit and wait for the excitement to surprise me, it just slipped out of my mouth: “YEAH!” :) boy it’s too tempting. Then he looked at his calendar and said, “Okay how about next Monday” I’m like “Next Monday?” He’s like “Yeah.” WOW AND THEN I started feeling like I was gonna cry. Cause I’m scared about giving birth? Even the 4th time?? Cause I’m scared to add a 4th little human being to our family?? Cause I am SOOO excited to add another little human being to our family?? to love and hold?? Cause I’m sooo not ready? Cause I am sooooo READY? Yes. All of those things. I had to hold back tears as I walked out of the office cause DUDE IT’S REAL the baby is COMING!!!! I can’t even believe it. I know what some of you are thinking, sheesh she really should be used to this by now… yeah ha ha, but no every baby has been equally exciting and nerve-wracking, really. Somehow I adapted to 3, will I adapt to 4???? Can I be a good mother to 4 kids and not lose my mind???

And maybe that’s why I’m super emotional this week. Okay catch ya later!

Okay, I'm just now reading this and you've already had the baby. Just know that your father loves you so very much. You are amazing even on your down days.
