Oh boy.. am I cranky... I am tired, and exhausted, and I have a tonne of laundry to do, there are dust bunnies everywhere (actually, there more like growing a new dog, then dust bunnies), and, and, and... I just want to go to bed.

Who do I take it out on? Of course, my husband. The problem is he is tired too, so he ain't putting up with nothing.

How do other women do it? Have a full time job, kids, husband, dog, house... I really want to know cause I just don't seem to be able to do it anymore. Oh, and I have been craving chocolate now since yesterday 3 pm (I'm on a diet again... gained 10 lbs since we got married). I've lost 5 lbs so far, so I just have 30 lbs to go - for those that don't know, I gained about 30 lbs with Jacob's pregnancy on top of the 30 lbs or so I had gained during my divorce. I have lost 50 lbs, put back 10 lbs and now I have 30 lbs to go. The math doesn't make sense... don't try to figure it out. End result is I would like to be in the 150lbs one day. The moral of the story is no chocolate.. and that is not helping my mood.

Great.. there goes the buzzer for the clothes.. only ten thousand more loads to go!

I think I have to go with Doris's interpretation of things: although she has been at it longer than me, I think perhaps I am going through something similar. These new rules that the CCAA has come out with are really stressing me out. I am just waiting for the hammer to fall somewhere and there goes out dream of raising a daughter. I wish I knew where our dossier was, that might help. To see the possible new rules, go to Doris's site (3d's) on the right. Too tired to figure out how to paste the link into the text. The thing that would sink us is the second marriage business - we would have to wait 5 yrs before we could submit our application! Jacob would be 7 yrs old by then!!
