Irritating as sand in your gum

Seriously-my life! It is beyond irritating! I am irritating, my children are irritating, my husband is irritating! Everything is beyond the realm of irritating!

What does that word even mean? Causing annoyance (YES!), impatience (YES!) and mild anger (YES!). I have Webster’s covered.  

So, what is so annoying? Well, all of the things I already listed. ‘Duh! What kind of annoying question is that! (See, I am really annoyed-that was my annoyance with stupidity, impatience and mild anger coming at ya!)

Also, coming home from working a full day only to find my children acting like fools in a messy house and being beyond (so much beyond in this blog!) at loose ends, aimlessly walking about the house. That ALWAYS sets me on edge-people doing nothing while trying to look busy so that you do not notice that they are actually doing nothing and tell them to do something!

So, then Beloved gets the brunt of my anger. He was the one in charge of all these guys and they just ran amok. I am livid, talking about the fact there is NO WAY IN HELL I am going to go teach virtually all day at school, come home and have to do it all here AND do all the housework, cooking, etc.

Mostly, I am just really good and pissed because my mother-in-law said off handedly the other day how much better behave my children are now that I am feeding them all organic food. WELLLLLLLL! That sounds nice…until it feels like she is saying that I suck as a mom for not having done this sooner and she is glad I have finally gotten onboard with her world. NEWSFLASH!!!! It is really hard to cook organically for a family of seven FROM SCRATCH and work full-time. The only way I could do it was thanks to COVID (silver lining). 

I had planned to come home and prep up some menus and shop. Instead, I dealt with the fallout of being gone for the day. I am one pissed mama. If there was a moment to want to grab a drink out of irritation…I am feeling it tonight. 

Do I suck in that I kinda threatened my husband that the kind of overwhelmed and angry feelings I was having were the exact kind that usually make me fall of into the abyss? Part of me feels like that is blackmail on him, part of it feels like it is the truth-so, if he doesn’t like an abysmal wife, he needs to handle things better while I am gone.

Whew-vent/rant/brain barf is over. I don’t feel better-but I also did not drink. Score one for me. I might feel a little less irritated…
