Calgon...take me away...

When I was little there was a commercial of a very frazzled woman...probably a mother and housewife.... who shouts in a moment of exasperation "Calgon take me away!!"

Next scene...she's lying in her tub with a look of peace and joy.

Where the heck can I get me some of that!! I don't know if it's PMS...menopause...or caffeine withdrawl...but I have this bubbling feeling of frustration all day...I'm annoyed at everything! I feel like I'm going to explode at any moment.

Now even if I knew where to get me some of that Calgon stuff I know that peace and quiet would be impossible in this household. If I even try to walk into the bathroom and internal alarm must go off inside all my kids. As soon as my tushie hits my porcelain throne someone is pounding on the door. Seriously I have not been able to p** in peace in over 10 years! If I try to take a longer shower than my allotted two minutes the kids are screaming for me to hurry up! I won't even dream about taking a bath because once they discover that I'm in the tub someone will be trying to climb in with me. I wonder if anyone has ever built a soundproof bathroom...I would hide in there and seek refuge...

Now if only I could just bottle that feeling of peace and joy like Calgon promotes...and I don't mean using drugs or alcohol...I would be a millionaire! Take a whiff and peace washes over you...dab some behind your ear and you are good to go for the rest of the day.

    I agree it is some kind of hormones going...how to get them under control is another topic for a blog...

    I'm trying to get back to blogging...just haven't been in the mood the last couple of weeks. But slowly my sense of humour is creeping back...

    LOL! Been there, done that! It does get easier, tho. Now that my kids are grown, it's payback time! Now my daughter is finding out how annoying her mother can be the older I get. ;-)

    Happy Mother's Day! I think when you feel like you need a break....put yourself in a time out! I do it often! It helps me re-charge!
