Ugh....

I just need support tonight ladies. I am so uncomfortable, my back hurts, my ribs where my underwire rubs hurts, I am super emotional. I had my sister, her husband and two kids over tonight because I waxed her legs for her and I am drained. My husband and I had to watch their kids more then they were watching them. The almost 3 year old was just being a brat and disobedient the whole time. She threw away 2 of my cups! They put her in time out for like 30 seconds until they realized she would just keep screaming until she was able to get out. They just wanted to watch our movie in peace. It was rediculous. Then the 1 year 3 month old keep cry because she was tired and no one would hold her, or rock her to put her to sleep so I ended up having to do it, with my back killing me. I finally lay down after they leave and my friend then messages me about how she wants to cut. I do not have the energy emotionally for all this. All I want to do is cry. I tried to help her but she just wants to argue so I told her I won't argue with her but to be safe with whatever she does. I can't bear her burdens too. Overwhelmed :(

My family is great, slightly dysfunctional but great. I just am basically the "wonder child" or something because I am the only kid out of three my parents had that got married before having a kid, is actually doing something with my life by going to college, and still strong in my faith. I'm also the only grand kid doing this and I'm the youngest. I usually don't mind being the stable one in the family but its hard when I'm hormonal lol. Don't get me wrong I am far from perfect, I typically have a problem with not thinking before I speak and it gets me in trouble but I'm only 21 And I am working on it.

I know I need to slow down, it's so hard. I feel like I'm the glue that hold everything together sometimes. My hubby helped out a lot tonight too. He actually ended up hurting his knee because one niece made him lose balance while the other was right at his leg so he fell trying not to crush her. I just don't want my family saying I am using pregnancy as an excuse. When I had super bad morning sickness they would always say quit using your pregnancy as an excuse. That was until I dropped 15 pounds and couldn't keep anything down lol, then they got the picture.

I suppose I have been thinking a lot about my sister and helping her relieve her stressful life and forgetting I need to make sure my stress isn't going to high.

Take a deep breath, doll. . Take care of yourself and just relax. . You cant stress yourself out too much over others right now, you are priority right now due to your pregnancy and vulnerable state, physically speaking. . Know what i mean? I say, take a nice bath, indulge in some music, maybe a good book, eat something sweet and let the rest of the world worry about the drama(: take it easy <3
