Grumpy

>> Saturday, April 11, 2009

That's me lately.

Grumpy.

I'm not sure why and I feel bad because I've been snapping at Michael.

He got home over a week ago, started a new job, we went on vacation, his parents flew in for the week and they left yesterday.

Maybe I'm just exhausted? I sure feel exhausted. I also haven't had any "alone" time since Michael got back and that doesn't help any.

With Michael's last job, he worked until 7:30 or 8:00 so I got a couple of hours, or at least one hour, alone each night after work. I also got Saturday mornings... then he left for tour and I had a lot of time alone. I guess I shouldn't say "alone"... since Jill moved in, she's been around obviously so it hasn't exactly been as nice as normal.

But now with Michael's new job, he works until 6 or 6:30 every night and even gets done at noon two days each week... my alone time went from a little bit each day to never.

And I'm taking it out on him...

and everyone around me if I could, I just know that he's stuck w/ me either way.

He's taking a nap right now and it feels nice to just sit here, blog, and watch a movie that I'm only halfway paying attention to.

I'm sure you're just tired. When we're tired, we always snap at loved ones. But, like you, I too like my alone time. Thankfully, our schedules allow me plenty of that during the week.

I am sorry to hear that you are grumpy. We all go through those phases. I too like my alone time and a lot of my friends don't understand that, as most of them need to be socializing 24/7 in order to feel "happy". I hope you have a wonderful day, hun!

I hear you about adjusting to no alone time - it is really tough! I love and crave alone time so I definitely get you!

btw - great job on the debt repayment - you are kicking a$$!

You bitch.

Just kidding. I think if I didn't have my Saturday morning alone time while Mike snoozes away, I might be a little "grumpy" too.

I hear ya on the grumpy front. And the alone time. You are so not alone - so try not feel too bad - we all have these days/weeks.
