I get so frustrated when:
I don’t get time to read or write blogs. I hate that more than anything. This is my escape for me. My friends live here in blog world. I feel like I have failed as a bloggy friend when I can’t get to your pages and read them. Seems like I am constantly on the go for everyone else anymore, and I cannot find time for me.
Gene has to work ridiculous hours. He is at work most mornings by 6 am and lately if he gets home by 10pm it is a miracle. Tonight he got home at 10 pm and was wore slap out, and he has to be back in by 530 am because he has to go clean out spider webs from the ceiling. Before you ask no he is not maintenance. Even better he is not even a team leader but he sure does 2x the work of the one they have. Being totally serious.
I feel like the housework seems to never end. With the way I run for everyone getting all the laundry done in one day is a miracle in and of itself. Throw in dishes and dinner and errands and 451 phone calls a day and I cannot seem to get ahead.
Being sick but not getting a chance to get well. How is it everyone else can sleep all day, get meds, drink fluids, do nothing and they are over it in a matter of a couple of days. Yet there never seems to be time for me to get much needed recharging and rest to get back to even sub par. I get cranky when I get sick and even more so when I feel used and ignored. OH mom’s running a 102.6 fever and has blurred vision? Hand her a Dayquil and tell her to run me to town. I kid you not.
When I get so stressed that I cannot swallow. I know it is an anxiety issue. I get overwhelmed. I used to think the panic attacks were the worst, I was wrong. Being in the midst of eating and suddenly choking on something because you feel as if you just completely forgot how to swallow. I can go a couple of weeks at a time and be fine. Until I reach a point of overfrustration and inability to hide it, and my body responds. Not a good thing to happen when you are alone with your 2 kids eating at a nice restaurant. So I have learned to watch for the warning signs. Having to ‘swallow’ from one side of my mouth because the other side seems to freeze right at the top of my throat. Or simply a feeling like if I swallow that bite I cannot breathe so I have to calm down enough to breath and swallow. Funny how something my body has done naturally all my life has suddenly become such an issue.
People cannot spell. DIS IZ NOT HOW U SPELL. Drives me monkey poo crazy. Grammar I may not have mastered but I can spell. What makes it worse is using a word that spell check doesn’t recognize and those annoying red wiggly lines, like I can see under the short sentence about this one. Words I KNOW I have spelled correctly. I refuse to read a blog that is filled with spelling errors.
I am sure I have many more but for the life of me they went poof.
So you know the rules now play along.
I feel you! I have so many blogs to read and with my husband working in NYC until late every night and raising two little ones I never get to read as much as I want too. I just disovered you on FTSF!! Can’t wait to “try” and read up on your blog! I added you to all the fun sites and hopefully I can get back here more often!!!!

The first one I can truly relate to, because I love reading and commenting on blogs. I only wish there were more hours in the day to do this. Great way to finish our sentence and thank you a ton for linking up!!
Haha – you know the spelling & grammar thing gets me, too. It drives me INSANE! I’ve actually unfriended people on Facebook because they write status updates like a moron.
And, I totally get it about how much it sucks not to be able to read blogs. Usually the only time I get behind is when we go away to Disney every year, and then when I get back, I have hundreds of friends posts to catch up on LOL.

Well, my blog was out of commission this entire week. (Just got it back today.) Google was giving me Malware warnings and my editor in WP was acting flaky. Talk about frustrating!! I felt so helpless as people were being turned away. The good news is I am back up and running (it cost me dearly in more ways than one) but glad to be back. Glad I found you through Robin @ Massholemommy. Have a great weekend!
The grammar drives me almost as crazy as the making up of words. The latest seems to be “conversate” and was probably developed by a rapper needing to end a line with a rhyme. The other day, I even heard a sportscaster use it. “It’s converse, you dummy … converse!” was my retort to the TV screen. I wish he could have heard me! lol People simply have to understand we can’t read everyone’s blogs everyday! It’s great to write each 24 hour cycle, but when you’ve got hundreds of them to read, time just isn’t available. Hang in there!

I share some of your frustrations. I have this issue with my throat at times. It’s when I’m too tired or overwhelmed and I’m convinced there is something stuck in there. It hasn’t happened in a while and I hope it doesn’t again.

I, too, get so frustrated when I don’t have time to write and to read blogs. I find myself carving time to do so at 1am when I need to be sleeping. Ugh. I’m completely with you on the being sick thing too…funny how dad and baby get to pass out on the couch while I clean up everybody’s vomit while running to the bathroom myself. Sigh.

It’s Sunday morning and I’m catching up on blogs. If I don’t do this today because I’ve missed Friday’s day to catch up, I feel like a really bad person. Completely get what you’re saying. Here people take time to visit my blog and comment, and I don’t get round to theirs. Some days are just crazier than others and life gets in the way. Get post! I think that all moms should be allowed some R&R time, especially if they’re sick. I don’t remember my mom ever in bed sick..

Oh, boy, do I feel your pain. Case in point, it is now Wednesday,and I am finally reading FTSF posts! Key word being: Friday! I am still ill, and I know how crappy it feels trying to take care of yourself and get your blogging in. I struggle with it all the time. Great post, and I am SO with you on the spelling stuff! Thanks for linking up with us again!
