Today is a day where I feel like I completely failed and I just want to cry and cry till I have no more tears (but I won't because it's not the end of the world). Failed everything...I didn't work out, once again, dinner came out so nasty I had to throw it away ( I got the recipe from a set of recipe cards jason bought me called "The 100 Best Recipes Ever"...yeah don't think I will be using any of those recipes EVER again) so I am completely irritated that all the ingredients got wasted, the only cleaning I got done was mopping the floor, I hardly spent any time on the floor playing with Chase today, I didn't work on Chase's baby book again, I didn't send pictures to Jason's mom and she's been asking me for over a month, I didn't make the doctor appointments I need to make,I didn't call my grandparents, Meghan, Misty, Shelby, and Ruth, people who mean so much to me and that I've owed phone calls to for months (ok now I'm crying a little)...this list could go on forever. My bones are so achy. And all I wish for in the world right now is a day off. So I can get my hair done, go to the spa,make my phone calls and not worry and be stressed out by a teething, very grumpy baby and the chores at home. But there are no days off for me.
Thankfully tomorrow is another day...hopefully a better one.

Brooke..all that you just said is the creme of how we grow. I drop the ball a lot and cry to sleep thinking I just failed my family today. Don't let it ge t you down, start fresh. set reasonable goals on your to-do list just for today and then getyourself rejuvenated, a happy Mom is a happy family! Love you!!!!!!!!!!
You are not alone! Does Jason read this so he can give you the day off you deserve? Would he take the hint? Not even a day...just a pedicure would do the trick. I agree with Jessica...you can't think that you can accomplish so much in one day. Pick one or 2 things to get done and move on!
Your house has always been emaculate! Mine on the other hand - looks cluttered! So, give yourself a break...even at home. Put your feet up and realize it's okay every once in a while to just let things go. Call it a mental health day. Get out, do things and....know that we still love you even if you don't call us! =)
Oh, Brooke... you are so tenderhearted! I think everyone feels that way once in a while. I know I do, and I don't even have a screaming, teething baby to tend to! Don't beat yourself up. Maybe you should get a babysitter for a day and take a break! And don't think for one minute that your good friends are upset that you didn't call... good friends will be here for you whenever you need us.
i also have had a lousy day - anxiety attack at my desk, heart palpitations on and off, i have been stressing myself silly, and i have a onesie order to finish that i've been sitting on for over a week, not to mention my house hasn't been cleaned for three weeks, the dog pooped in the living room then ATE IT so i have no idea where to clean, and i feel like i am never, ever, ever going to get pregnant! you and me babe, let's just wallow in it together for a while!
Will you please bring Chase by today?!? PLEASE! Even for an hour or two? I'm calling you in a minute!
