Today I am cranky. We've been in the van for two days. We made it to Grants Pass yesterday and today we are in Lynnwood, just north of Seattle. We are so close to home, I hate to stop one more night. I'm sick of living out of a suitcase. I'm tired of being a passenger. I'm irritated by every sound people make in the van (especially mouth noises). You know the ones, slurp of coffee, sucking on cough drops, chewing etc.
I am tired of having to stop once an hour for potty breaks. Yup, once every hour! I'm so done with trying to parent Diane from the front seat, while she's sitting in the back beside Nana. I am sick of having my in-laws watch and listen to everything we say and do. I really miss my privacy.
I'm thinking about missing so much work. How far behind in school we are. All the things have have been left undone while we've been gone. I actually broke out in hives on my face today, due to the stress.
So, today I am cranky, I'm trying really hard not to be irritable with everyone around me, but it's been a crap day.
Tonight I will sleep well and pray for a renewed attitude tomorrow.
Hey girl, its o.k. to be cranky pants once in a while. You have done well, and just hold on for a few more hours.And yep, tomorrow is a new day! We will bring Grizzly to you tomorrow afternoon if that's o.k.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a little cheer up, check out dad's photo of the Grizz on his FB.
I'll call you this week so we can chat. I'm proud of you that you weren't Miss Cranky Pants all week... you've been through a lot and you "done good"!.
