Mini Gripefest

I am frustrated about not writing for a few days.  But I'm tired and am also having some anxiety/insomnia issues.  That combination always shuts down any thoughts about writing.  I have nothing new to talk about regarding said anxiety & when I'm tired, my motivation just drops.  I think I need to update about Michael... and then Chloe is turning TWO in just TWO days.  Liam has been a bit of a grump.  But everyone is okay overall.  November is seriously flying by for me and I'd really like things to just slow down a bit.

For lack of other inspiration, here are some minor irritations on my list for the week:

Liam always asks me for a snack about 15 minutes before Michael is due home.  I wish he could just wait that little extra time- I get stuck in a 45 minute snack cycle which is not something I enjoy at 3:45 in the afternoon.

I'm beginning to be irritated by meals in general.  They take too long, the children are super demanding and sometimes downright rude.  I'm trying different things to make mealtime easier but if I could have someone come in to serve/clean-up the meal, I'd totally do it.  I don't mind the cooking part so much anymore- just the serving and clean-up.

I am waiting to hear about a job opportunity while another possibility hangs in limbo.  I am trying to make a good decision but realistically, I have to start working within the next 2 weeks so I need something to come together...ugh!  Praying for a little wisdom on this one...

OMG! Meals are a giant PITA. My kids take FORVEVER to eat and by the end of it I'm a raving lunatic. Especially on school mornings when they dwadle over 7 grapes or a waffle. Eat for goodness sake!

I hear you about snacks/meals. Sometimes I feel like I spend the whole afternoon feeding June and then she turns up her nose at dinner.

Good luck with the job decision.
