STRESS

Stress

I can feel it in my neck, in my killer headache and all around me.

We had bubba's 4th birthday party over the weekend. It went really well, until he complained of a stomach ache. By 3am that morning he was throwing up. He couldn't keep anything down.

It is so hard to see your little baby going through that.

By Sunday night he had finally kept down some water and slept all night long waking only to go potty and get something more to drink.

Monday was a lot of resting on his part. He slept off and on all day, poor guy. He was wiped. I am sure from the virus and the fact that he was going on day 3 of not really eating anything.

Luckily no one else has reported getting sick; no one in my house and no one that attended the party.

Buggy and I have had a rough week. She just has attitude for days. With my stress at an all time high, I am having trouble keeping my head level to be able to handle the nastiness she is spewing. Today of all days, the day she goes to her dad's for the weekend, it was a blow out. I screamed she screamed and both went to school/work crying.

I hate mornings like that! Especially ones where she is gone for the next 5 days.

When these mornings occur it really sends me in a UGH mode. Wondering if other moms have these days. They probably handle it a lot better than I do...and I start beating myself up over it. MAN it feels horrible fighting with a seven year old.

So I have been trying to keep my negativity off of my blog, but ya know what...this is MY journal and I can cry if I want to! ;)

Here is my Idol review:
Luke--HATED IT. cute, but I do not like his voice.
David Archuleta - man, can he really do anything wrong? I really liked his performance, but hope to see some more youngness coming from him. Liven it up babes.
Danny N- yes. I really do like him, his spunk, his funkiness...he needs to modest up just a little...but I would like to see him back. PS, LOVED the purple hair. seriously.
David H. - see, now, I like him too. Maybe I am not so negative this week ;). Was he really a gay strip club dancer guy? Hmm, do I care? No.
David Cook - hate his look LOVED THE SONG. Really, rocked it out on a Lionel Richie song. That was great, when I closed my eyes!
Michael Johns- what about accents makes a guy so sexy? I thought his performance was decent...not my favorite of his...but he can TALK me bed, er sleep any night.
Jason Castro - LOVED IT. Was I the only one that didn't know that song though? Never heard it. Co-worker said it was a song on Shrek...not a fan of that movie...maybe that is why I hadn't heard the song.
Chekezie Eze---um, eh. His performance felt like a been there done that. Not that thrilled.

My vote is to send Luke and Chekezie home.

on to the girls.
Asia'h - what is with the spelling? anyway...she was ok. Her outfit was HIDEOUS.
Kady - SPELL CHECK THE NAMES PEOPLE. I think she will go this week, she should have gone last week.
Amanda - my Indiana girl. BYE BYE. I loved her performance, but I am so over her voice, then her total lack of excitement...are you serious? PUMP UP THE VOLUME, DANCE DANCE.
Carly- the accents...I love 'em...though I don't want her talking me to sleep. I thought she did good and will sail through to the next round.
Kristy Lee - she is cute. I thought her performance was decent.
Syesha - really sick of the Witney songs...anyone? Anyone? She did alright.
Brooke - MY FAVORITE of the night. She is really seeming more comfortable and relaxed and I loved her performance. Rock on girl.

So for the girls...here is my hope--
Goodbye to Kady and Amanda.

Much love and peace out.

  1. Oh I hate it when the kids get sick!

    I have been taking naps when Hubby gets home from work so I am so sad to say I have missed idol adn big brother a lot lately. I love the shows but I think I love sleep more :-)

  2. Oh I hope your Bubba is feeling better.

    I have had screaming matches with my daughter and we always come back and say we are sorry and how much we love each other. It's hard being a mom, and we are still human so mistakes will be made.

  3. Sorry you've had such a tough week! I can totally relate to the 4-year-old stomach flu but I haven't made it to the part where my daughter and I fight. Well, she tries, but can't come up with any good arguments yet. I know it's coming, but I hate to think about it.

    Hope you enjoy "Island Thursday!" Maybe it will help take your mind off things for an hour or two.

  4. Stacie--I know how you feel about the stress and then the kids spewing their crap on top of it. I had a major melt-down yesterday and it was not pretty and I so could have handled it better. No one is perfect, and just remember that buggy loves you, even when she hates you.

  6. Poor Bubba... that seems to be going around here. Touch wood we have avoided it thus far. It's nice he got it AFTER his birthday party and that no one else has succumbed.

    And I had a week like that last week with my kids. If it wasn't one of them it was the other. There was a whole lot of yelling and crying around here too. Hang in there. Apparently this is part of the job but I have launched a complaint because this crap was not in the job description I got!

    Take care, I am right there with ya!

  7. Oh, I'm sorry for your bummer of a week. I hope things get better.

    Lovin' the Idol review! I am pretty much in agreement (I reviewed at my blog as well--I can't stop talkin' about it--even if it is a ho hum season . . . so far).

    Can't wait for tonight.

  8. Poor Bubba - that's not a fun birthday! I hope he's feeling better soon and that you are able to de-stress somehow.
    ((Hugs))

  9. I hope your son is feeling better! I watched AI last night and I was surprised that Asia'h went home...but was not with the others. This should be a good season. The judges just crack me up!

  10. Hi Stacie,

    LOVED your idol review! I guess there were a few surprises last night, huh? Next week should be really interesting! I'm really liking Brooke and David for some reason. I think they just seem more genuine and real, not too over the top like some.

    Sorry to hear Bubba was sick again. Didn't he just get over something a short time ago? It's been a rough winter for him! I understand how you feel having a fight with Bugsy right before school and work, it has happened to me before with both my kids. It's not a good way for anyone to start the day, but it happens sometimes. Is there anyway you can talk to her while she's at her dad's? Maybe just a quick call to clear the air and say "I love you" would make you both feel better. Whenever that would happen to me and my boys, I'd stew about it all day and then when they came home from school they were absolutely fine and had completely forgotten about it! Go figure!

    Hope you have a good weekend and get to de-stress a little! Take care!

  11. You are not alone!!! Alexis and I have had our moments recently where she screams and I scream and then she screams at everyone around and then I scream at everyone around - YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! I'm sorry this happened - but IT DOES HAPPEN. I hope you are better - I'm sorry.

    Thanks for coming by and thanks for your prayers for our sweet baby. Take care and I'll see you soon. Kellan

  12. Um, no, we don't handle it one bit better! Take it easy on yourself. Nothing wears you out like having a sick kid.

  13. Sorry about your daughter, but you will just give her all the more kisses when she returns. Snuggle down with Bubba and relax!

  14. I'm sorry it's been a crappy week (and we all definitely have those moments). I hope it gets less stressful soon.

    I can't believe Chekezie and Amanda are still there. Ouch (say my ears).

  15. I think a lot people are going through some stuff right now. Stress stinks as it is but when you incorporate a sick kid and another kid who wants to push buttons, it is even worse. Hugs to you! While I don't have kids, I think I am safe in saying all moms think that there are other moms who could handle it better. Hang in there!
