Okay, Fess Up. Who's Being Completely Irrational?

[FunniBunni]

Feel sorry for my kiddos.  DS2 (11) just came up to me and hugged me.  I all but shook him off, and told him not to do that again.  He looked crestfallen, and I felt HORRIBLE.  But, I just couldn't bear to have him hanging on me all of a sudden. WTAF???

What have you done recently that makes no sense?

Yeah definitely easily annoyed these days. DD has been all over me lately, I try not to turn her away but sometimes I just need space. Isn't there an old wives tale about clingy kids when you're pregnant?

I just finished crying because I wouldn't have time to finish my laundry before I leave for work. I was 7:30. I leave at noon. It's one load.

But no, instead of actually thinking about it, or, you know, starting it, I just cried for 20 minutes.

I yelled at DD last night (who has been attached at my hip for a few months) to the point that H picked her up and went in another room with her. I yelled because she was being so loud and I didn't feel good. I should have got up and went to the bedroom, but I just lost it. I felt so terrible, I watched her little heart just break to pieces and it was awful. I went and cuddled with her a few hours later while she was falling asleep.

My kids tried to eat my food. You better believe I swiped it up higher so they couldn't get it. Dammit it's my nutella and banana sandwich.

I actually don't think that's irrational at all - I totally get touched out. I love cuddles but DS is being super clingy lately and it's tough to handle after awhile.

I cried the other night because my husband used the wrong seasoning packet on the shrimp we were having for dinner.

Yep, definitely such a thing as being over touched. I felt it while I was nursing DD. Once I was finished, I didn't want anyone near me. I imagine I will be even more irritated dealing with an infant and a toddler and my grabby DH.

Nice to know I'm not alone. I seem to remember experiencing the whole "no touchy" thing last time too... but (I looked it up in my journal) it was a late 2nd tri/3rd tri thing. Weird that it's happening so soon again. I'm a super touchy/feely person. So are all my kids. Doesn't seem to bother me with my toddler tho - so I'm glad about that. Maybe because we're nursing...

Dd has been all over me lately too. I feel so guilty when she wants to pull me somewhere but I just want to sit on the couch. In fact, I'm home today but still took her to daycare this morning so I could have some alone time. I've also been a crazy bitch to Dh. I'm basically just an asshole lately.
