Type-A Mom has a new look! Check out the new site! We're also hiring writers!

I can't believe how stressful it is to have both kids in school. One is off some place and the other one is off another. I have been so exhausted lately that I don't even have time to write at night. I just sit on the couch and watch TV, my brain can't even start to handle looking at magazines or sit down and write something.

I have been falling behind hoping that this is just a phase. But maybe its my recovery from the surgery catching up with me. I have been working like a dog the past couple of months. I don't know what it is. But I need a routine bad. My daughter is constantly fighting with me on everything. I say no...she does it anyways. She's stealing all my personal things away from me. And I just can't deal with it because I am tired.

We do go see her pediatrician next week. I can't wait. I plan on telling her everything that has been going on. The lying, stealing, the hitting, the yelling...and the list goes on. I guess it could be what a teenager is about. I wish someone warned me before I had kids.

But now that fall is almost here things should settle down a bit...right? Oh but wait, my son's birthday is in November...Christmas is in December....my daughters birthday is in January...almost a week after Christmas!!! Yikes it never ends!
