Dear Mother Can You Hear Me Whining?

I picked up the phone to call my mother today but she was still in bed which isn’t surprising since it’s one of those awful cold wet rainy dark days and I was going to whine about how on top of having nausea 24 hours a day I hurt my neck and despite my dear husband rubbing it with essential oils it still hurt like the dickens and I couldn’t sleep on my right side and it even hurt when I slept on my left so I had to sleep on my back which isn’t exactly comfy at 17 weeks and it hurts so bad this morning I can’t help my 4 and 7 year old daughters do their homeschool math so instead the 7 year old is helping the 4 year old and reading her stories which really is just too cute and to add insult to injury I’ve been having these headaches which I’ve never had during my pregnancies before and I can’t believe I have to go out in this God-awful weather and drag 4 kids to the grocery store but we need stuff so I can cook dinner and we’re out of snacks except bread which is fine for the older kids but Sadie is allergic and will get itchy rashes and productive farts which just makes more laundry and so I have to go and also I’m craving orange juice so badly I might hurt someone if I don’t get some soon and why did Georgia have to decide after a decade of drought to make up for lost time by raining buckets for months on end this winter and if I don’t get some sun on my face soon I might hurt myself and I read the other day that the excess estrogen in pregnancy can cause irritability and I’m all, “no sh@#*% Sherlock” and Caleb says he has no pants to wear and I remember that I didn’t do any laundry yesterday because of the intense nausea and headaches so instead of having 4 loads to do today I have 8 just to keep on top of it so I’m actually considering letting my 11 year old stay home by himself from the store but then his brother finds him a pair and suddenly I notice the kids are being awfully sweet to each other and to me probably because I lost it a little bit yesterday and raised my voice which I don’t usually do but I think they realized they had pushed too far and I suddenly feel a little ashamed complaining since the Amish women are so tough and all and some women cannot conceive a child and would be happy to be miserable for 9 months and although birth is pretty cool I wouldn’t take a 7 figure salary to be a surrogate mom.

  1. Awww … I hope you feel better soon.

  2. Oh you poor thing… I was like that too, but I only have that one child and can only imagine what it would be like with a whole bunch of them..! And yeah, blogs are wonderful like that. :)

  3. Good post. I be taught something more difficult on totally different blogs everyday. It is going to always be stimulating to read content material from different writers and observe slightly something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content material on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a hyperlink on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
