Mr tired grumpy

Me.
bad things
I have too many things on. I'm tired and have a headache. My IL's have too many birthdays on this time of year, and im feeling tired just thinking about all those. My relationship with Dad isn't so great atm. I'm not getting to see the kids during the week. I have performance reviews coming out of my ears. My job deadline/review time is coming up. I have to go out tomorrow night. My cool BIL isn't here, and busymum doesn't like playstation. My garage is still a mess, as is my wardrobe and i haven't had a chance to clean them up. My computer games that i own don't do it for me anymore. I can't play the guitar as well as id like to. The printer is bunging up. The girls don't yet know how to put things away after themselves so T and I have to tidy up the lounge everyday. I have too much stuff in my head from work. Briona played with my mp3 player this morning and when i turned it on i found it had been already recording for 30mins beforehand.

Good things.
There are no weeds in my rose garden, after 8 weeks from laying down mulch mat under the stones. Krissi is cute. Busymum is sexy. My desk is still here. My router works properly for a change. I caught up with my best friend about a week ago - after about 8 months of not knowing if he was still my best friend. I'm alive. We have food in the fridge. In fact we have two fizzy bottles in our fridge - oops i mean 1. I'm learning lots at my work. I finished a large project today at work. I'm about to finish two things at home. The fluffy frog on my computer is still smiling. My car is working great.

Thanks for listening.

mmm
hard too focus on the good atm.

Did you know i suffered from depression the last few years and early this year? That was a hard time on Teresa and me. She thinks im starting / already started to come out of that.

something random...... hmmm get a tattoo, dye your hair (maybe a girl thing) peirce your .....fill in the gap (and no I dont mean IT, just something, anything) ewww reminds me, i had a friend who once did something random and peirced the bit between her boobs. she had a plastic rod about 3cm long inserted with at stud thing on each end, totally freaked me out.

I am a great believer in a good nights sleep making everything better (or at least seem not so bad when you're not tired).

Removed - Sorry wasn't meant to cause offence.

do a random thing - go give Teresa a great big hug and kiss and tell her she is the best thing that ever happened in your life...and do it quick before she reads this....

BTW i only came in here cause i thought you were calling for BSDH by that title....

You obviously don't know how lucky you really are, to have a lovely wife and 3 wonderful girls. Take a peak at the 'Pray for Alex' thread to help put everything into perspective. If you're tired and grumpy w a headache, take a panadol and go to bed. It will all be better in the morning. Your not Superman you know.

Mmm, ouch i agree. I was going to reply to this, but im just too tired. I will say this though - theres more, but the tough thing is its all happening at once, and i cant get them out of my head until they are dealt with.

And i do know im lucky/blessed to have Teresa and the kids. Theyre one of the things that are helping me.

PS. feel free to vent this is a place to get things off your chest not for judgment or comparison, hope things ease up for you soon

I think we women can all be a bit guily of sometimes just expecting you all to soldier on a bit and not stop to think that you guys feel overwhelmed sometimes as well. You are doing a great job. And as a fellow inmate of the crazy house, I have to say, it's great when people can be open about their battles with the black dog.

Yip I think you hit the nail on the head there, maybe we do just expect you to be soldiers and the 'strong' ones. Its great that you can come on here and talk about it, you may be stronger than you think - after all not all males could come onto a predominatly (OMG SP??) womens Forum and talk about the way they feel! But big ups to you for doing it!!!! I agree - go do something totally random, something you will enjoy.

Oh and BTW - I always enjoy reading your replies - you have a great sense of humor, and make me laugh with the things you say! And you can tell you are a great Dad and Partner!
