So I've been feeling a little down lately, and I hope that I can get out of this funk soon. There have been several little things that have happened to put me in a negative mood and while none of them is big, all combined it has put me a bit of a sour mood. I know that I should react better to all of these little things and I am in charge of my own attitude but it's sometimes hard to not feel down.
First of all Allison has not slept through the night in months and I am tired of waking up 1-3 times every single night! I had a little break down at 2:30 AM last night. Good thing Justin is so kind and nice to me! Plus Tim will wake up every few nights or so and all we have to do is put him back in his bed (and Justin usually does it because Tim wants him to) but it still wakes me up. Will it ever end? Will I ever sleep a solid 8 hours again in my life?
Second, I sent out an email to several friends a few days ago and have not heard back from anyone yet. I know it has only been 3 days but I am really not feeling the love right now.
Third, Justin is in school so I have the kids a little more than usual and Timmy can be quite whiny and he is a big daddy's boy so I don't always fulfill his daddy needs.
Lastly, I tried so hard to be on time to church today but with Justin having to go 30 min's early to set up chairs I always end up running around doing last minute things that take longer than I think they will so I end up being late. I was only 1 minute late today but it made me bothered because I wanted to be early! Plus, I have choir at my house after church on Sundays now and I have to have my house clean and organized for that, what a pain it can be! Plus, I found out that our ward is having a Halloween party on Halloween night at 5:30 PM. Who does that? We are having a chili cookoff and trunk-or-treat but I feel bad not being home to greet trick-or-treaters or take Tim in the traditional sense. I don't like having several dark homes when kids are wanting to go trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. I know I can take Tim and Allie after, but it still was a bit bothersome that it was even planned the same day as the actual holiday. Am I crazy for feeling this way?
Okay, enough ranting and complaining....life will get better. After all, I get to go on vacation to Zion National Park with the McMurray's this week....always a good time.

I'm sorry you're feeling down lately, I can relate! I'm sure your vacation this week will do you good and be a wonderful break from life. I'm sure Halloween will still be fun at the church. I remember what it was like when Jeremy was in school and I had 2 kids, it's tough, but this too shall pass. After I'm feeling better, I'd love to help out if I can. Maybe takes the kids for a day for you or something. Smile!
I too am excited for the vacation this weekend. Last year our ward did a party on Halloween and I was quite bummed, but it was fun. We also had a chili cook-off. Maybe someone from my ward moved to your ward and is planning the same thing . . . Let me know how you finally make it through the sleepless nights. Although I am looking forward to many things this is something I am NOT looking forward to.
I too get annoyed when people don't email me back, especially after 3 months!
How was your trip? I hope it was fun and you're feeling better!

I hope you start feeling better soon! I wish I could have gone to Witches Night Out! It looks like so much fun! I couldn't find a sitter =C
