Blowin' off steam!!

So I hope you all can bear with me I just feel the need to vent my crankiness! Nothing really imparticular to rant and rave about, but I've just been a little cranky lately. Beau says it's the pregnancy, I think it's a combination of being pregnant, not being in my own home with my own things, my children REALLY missing their toys, me REALLY missing my husband and well it's just been too dang hot to go anywhere or do anything! The girls and I have been stuck inside for about a week now, with temperatures reaching past 100 degrees!

We had plans to go to this indoor pool on Saturday, which would have been a lot of fun and the girls were so excited, but wouldn't you know it I end up in the ER with Taryn that afternoon! She really wasn't that sick, but being that I am just here temporarily I don't have a Dr. for them to see so I have to take the girls to the ER if they get sick. Taryn came to me Sat. morning with some bloody goopey stuff coming our of her ear. It smelled horrendous! I cleaned it out, but she kept complaining that it hurt. She didn't have a fever so I didn't know what to think about it. I put her down for a nap, but when she woke up an hour later( I usually get a good 2 1/2 hrs.) screaming I knew something was wrong, so to the ER we went. Thank-goodness we were in and out pretty quickly, but she did have a red ear drum on the right ear and a very swollen ear canal on the left. This was all a little surprising since she has tubes in her ears and she isn't supposed to get ear infections anymore. I am a little concerned that the tubes have fallen out (which they are supposed to do, and this is a normal time for them to fall out) and she is getting the infections again. Anyway, they gave us ear drops and an antibiotic. Thank-goodness my girls like taking medicine.

I know kids get sick, but I have just been in no mood or have had the patience to deal with a sick, cranky, whiny child! She is getting better, but sometimes being a mom just plain sucks!! I know not the nicest thing to say, but it's the truth! Now don't get me wrong, I love my girls with everything that I have, but sometimes I just need some time to myself. I need time to sleep, time to think, time to just sit and veg on the couch without, hearing "mommy! mommy!", or fighting or playing horses for that matter. Who new a horse could have such an earpeircing whinny! Just time to do whatever I want without being interupted! I don't even need it that often just once in a while!

Alright I've complained enough for one night! :) I will be okay. Tomorrow I'll remember how much I love listening to my girls laughter, or them playing prince and princess (they take turns being the prince). I do love their smiles and their hugs and kisses. I wouldn't trade them for all the peace and quiet in the world, but I have bad days too!
Thanks for listening and thanks for letting me complain! Love to all!
