ot: you know you need a break, vacation, or nap when......

you are sitting typing at the computer waiting to get tired....waiting because you are waiting for your night time nyquil to kick in so that you can go to bed super drowsy and maybe actually breathing through a nostril or two......waiting for an hour and thinking that maybe it just isn't going to kick in....


when you look down.....



and notice.....



2 nyquil sitting next to the keyboard.



seriously....i'm so in neep of a break, i didn't even realize i never took it. good one momma....good one.


what about you?

LOL!!!

Yesterday I was running around the house trying to get to work and I went out to put something in the mail and then came back in and my keys weren't by my purse. I retraced my steps three times, checked the mailbox, checked the bathrooms, was just short of calling DH when I realized....they were in my left hand, hanging off my pinky finger.

You are so committed to your debt snowball (Dave Ramsey fans know what this is) that you send your husband to the store to get a gallon of milk and he comes home with a gallon of milk...and a bag of Oreo's and you seriously yell at him for buying the Oreo's. You even tell him (more like yell at him) that had he told you he wanted Oreo's you would have given him a coupon so he could have gotten 50 cents off. OMG...do I need a vacation...or maybe just an Oreo...I think I will have 2 and a glass of wine!!

I think this qualifies for drinking the Kool-Aid (again, Dave Ramsey fans know what I'm talking about) Poor DH. Have an Oreo for me!!

Sorry, cbmstephanie, no vacations unless your "vacations" envelope has enough money in it! I really think Dave would let the Oreos slide though....

Y'all are v. funny.

I'm afraid mine's not funny.

You know you need a break when you yell at everyone in your house for the smallest little things, and say really ugly things to your kids and your husband, and then you feel even worse because you wish you could just suck all those words back in like you never said them

When, after a shower, you put styling creme on your body and lotion in your hair. Yes, that's me.

Ahhh Dee...I have those days too! Then I ask myself, why do I say things to those I love that I wouldn't say others? Those are the days I just have to step back and thank God for those people. It's difficult though when you having "one of those days".

When your 2 y/o asks you to snuggle with her before her nap and you fall asleep next to her for 2 hours.
