they are two crazy and pretty great kids. Military life, family, friends and animals all shape our life. This is where I can write and rant about all of the above.

I need a break...
I am having a rough time of things lately. Matt has been working a lot and thus isn't home to really help with the kids/house/dog, etc. Jack is out of school for the summer so we are getting used to a new schedule and a lot of time together. Anna is developing rapidly and while she amazes me everyday, she also knows just how to frustrate me. I love my kids, I really do, but I feel like so much of my day is yelling and saying no. I need a break, both figuratively and literally. I don't really know how to do that though. We can barely make it every month so how can we afford for me to go off and have a "break"? I don't even know how to give myself a break figuratively. I barely have time to pee by myself, how can I take the time to figure out how to relax? I am hard on myself, I know I am, I have always been that way. I have a hard time forgiving myself too. I just feel like I am not being the best mother I can. I probably yell too much of the time. I worry about breaking my kids spirit. They both are so amazing, each in their own way. How do I remember that when they are driving me crazy, not listening, getting into everything, and just being destructive??
