I am just sooooooo crabby today. I feel fat. I stopped actually cooking because I'm sick of the mess that's made and cleaning it up. It's nice out here in MN but my not even 2 yr old like to run around all over outside and I get sick of chasing her all over. We live in an apt so we can't fence in the yard and it just pisses me off! i know i shouldn't be so crabby but I am. Most of all I hate getting dirty because once again the mess needs to be cleaned up and by who me. Just a bad day. Needed to vent. Oh I have a total of four kids to take care of so it's not just my sweet peanut.

    I hope you feel better now that you vented. Sometimes taking a walk can make you feel better. Do you have someone who can look after the kiddies so you can get a break from everything and take a walk. I had a really bad day at work and have already warned my husband that I am going to be grumpy when I get home. I plan on walking, either outside or on the treadmill, to get rid of some of the grumpiness.

    Don't worry... all of us have these moments and days. You will be okay!

    Don't get down on yourself. Just breath and relax and enjoy the time you have with your kids! Take it one moment at a time.

    Think of the kid running around outside as your exercise time, really get into it and try to get your heart rate up. Then, go to the store and buy Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, or WW, frozen entres for everyone to eat. Oh, buy plastic cups and flatware so there's no dishes to wash, just throw everything away when you are done eating.

    After dinner, get some candles and take a long bath with calming music drowning out everyone else. Can you put the oldest child, or husband, or friend, or parent or something in charge, while you take some needed "me" time?
