Why?

These are some of the things that went through my mind today.

Why does my baby still only sleep for 1/2 hour?

Try as I might and still can only get her to sleep of 30 min. Then I have to listen to her talk cry and fuss going into her room ocassianlly to put her binky in her mouth. It is exhausting and sometimes she will fall back asleep for 20 more minuets sometimes she won't.

Why do my kids talk so loud?
I don't know why but they talk to each other as if the other is not standing next to them. It's really bad when you are trying to sleep in and to wake up to Madisen asking Jaden if he wants to play playdough? HELLO, he is standing right next to you.

Why can't my husband stop cleaning?
some of you might wish that your husband would help around the house more, well I wish my husband would stop. He does this if he feels stressed out or he has taken a nap. It's his way to unwind but it drives me.

Why am I such a grouch?
I spent most of my day looking at all the things that my family did that bugged me. How awful is that? Maybe I should look at the things that they do that make me happy?

you are so cute. Yes, we all wish our husbands would walk around the house and clean and tidy. But I'm trying really hard to get your frustration. And I think it's totally normal to get bugged by our kids/ husbands/ etc. etc. It's our right as a mom and woman to be bugged and quite frankly kids and husbands can be very annoying. ... just saying.. :)
good luck on the sleep thing.. is she old enough for benadryl? :) j/j

Oh I have Whys #1 and 2 as well. Let's just sit and be slobs together (while our kids screech around us...)

I can relate except for the part where the husband cleans. Wha?? NEVER has John been obsessed with that one; unless it's OUTSIDE cleaning, which totally doesn't count.

We all have grouchy days. There's always tomorrow. How's Tatum? Does she still have the cast?

My parents always used to get on my case for talking so loudly and I just didn't understand what they were talking about...until I had my own kids!!! Good luck with that one! I can relate to the grumpiness too, sometimes I just need to do something for myself or even just looking forward to something fun will help me snap out of it!

Yes, there are many Why's in life....I think you need something to look forward to this week!!! We should plan something fun with the boys, if the weather is nice maybe a park day.

Hey Audry,
I found your blog while I was looking at Jennifer's; it was good to catch up with you and your family. I wonder about the whole talking so loudly thing too. If you find an answer, let me know. It's especially frustrating when I'm trying to put Avery to sleep on the couch....I guess we'll work through it. It's fun to keep updated and hope all is going well for you guys. Tell everyone hi!

I think I walk around the house like a grouch too. I think I need to try to be nicer and think more positively about my kids too. I have good kids why do I do that anyway?

You are too funny! It sounds like you need a little sleep...if only Tatum would sleep a little longer. I wish I knew what to tell you! I soooo wish my husband wanted to clean! That would make me soo happy and when I am happy he gets what he wants! :)
