Summertime slump

I don't know what my problem is, but I am constantly angry and fed up at the world.  It could be the diet and exercise,(lack of sugar and walking everyday, it could be that I am stuck at home EVERY SINGLE DAY and never have a moment to myself, or it could be due to all the family problems Dan and I are having.  Your guess is as good as mine.

The weather has been gorgeous.  Cool in the mornings and warm in the evenings, perfect summer weather and I don't want anything to do with it. We play outside about 5 minutes and then come and watch tv.  I feel guilty for not taking advantage of the beautiful weather and teaching my son to watch tv instead of playing, but I can't summon the energy to do anything about it.


Watching endless TV 


Jake has hit the terrible twos.  He refuses to take naps and then is a crying mess for the rest of the day.  He is obsessed with TV.  He finds the remotes, iPads or phones and hides in the bedroom watching his shows.  He finds pens and the colors on every surface. He also throws fits and screams his head off when he doesn't get his way.

Throwing a fit because I wouldn't let him eat Legos








Caleb, my wonderful guy, is the only light in my darkness.  I love sitting with him and and making him laugh or listening to him babble.  It's amazing how happy he makes me.



Our fridge broke and we had to last 5 days of eating out of a cooler until the new fridge was delivered. We had to pitch all the food that wouldn't fit into the cooler and go to the store every night to get something for dinner.  Our cupboards were very bare and I was starving.

I think I need a vacation.  Time away from everything and everyone.  I need to recharge and reset and get happy.  But, alas, that won't happen;this is the life of a mother.
