Holly's Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

The Blahs

June 29, 2006

I have started several entries and have deleted them all. I am in a mood lately and I really have no idea why. I still haven't heard about the job so maybe that is it. I have found myself treated life like I already got the job. I went in today to clean the nursery toys and then for the first time I did the preschool toys as well. I organized them and cleaned and the shelves. It looks so much better in there. Some of my frustration is sheer boredom. I miss my sister who is spending the summer interning for a sheriff in a neighboring county. I am upset cause my husband has been on the computer every evening from the time he comes home until bedtime playing a computer game. Today he was off from work and played for the first 6 hours me and the girls were awake. I had jobs I needed him to do like put up the new ceiling fan we have had for a month. I get upset because I feel like a single parent yet I feel guilty for feeling that way since he is pretty much the sole breadwinner. One of the posts I deleted was about the old saying "see how a man treats his mom and you will see how he treats his wife." I ranted about how I couldn't wait to be treated that nicely. How he goes out of his way to do the things she asks him to do. Then of course I feel guilty about that too. The girls are doing great. But today I had to wonder what kind of kids I am raising I suggested they go outside and play and the oldest actually burst into tears. Its not like they sit in front of the TV eating junk all day. Especially all food has to be eaten at the table. They are just like me and can't stand the heat. Ok well it is more like the can't stand the outdoors. I hate bugs and dirt and so do they. Abbey has also been having trouble behaving lately. She has been doing things that she knows are wrong and that she can't do. Like today she kicked her sister. Emmy has learned her name at least some of it. She can say Emmy Sarah and our last name. She leaves out the second middle name but that's ok three out of four isn't bad. She has been sleeping in her bed lately. For the last two weeks I tuck her in and pat her a few times and she is out. I am so happy because she is a bed hog. We have a pretty busy weekend planned. So hopefully next time I will have more to write about.
