That is the only way I can describe myself yet, even that word doesn't seem quite right. This summer has been long and arduous. Ian has gotten harder and harder everyday and he has regressed even more over the summer. I never did get a handle on our days and never did have a good, working schedule. My kids have done nothing but fight and whine and make messes. I almost have to bribe them to get out of the house. Chores? ya right. I know, I'm the mom. I should be in control. I'm just too exhausted to care. I have a summer hangover. I feel bad...I should be sad that summer is winding down. I should feel bad that my kids are going back to school and will be gone all day. I don't. I need a break. I need my house clean. I need my house quiet. I need to feel like me again....

2 people not afraid to say something:
Angi, I have a plan! When Adam's home Saturday get your house to a state of "good enough," maintain through Sunday. Put the kids to bed and tell them as soon as they wake up we're going on a hike. There's a short hike that starts in Alpine over to Granite Flats. We can picnic on the hike. When we finish we can play at the new Highland City Splash Pad. For dinner come over to our house and we'll do a joint FHE. When you get home the kids will be exhausted and your house will still be clean. Thoughts?
I'm ready for school to be back in session also for all those same reasons... except I don't have it quite as bad as you, so what's my problem?
