    When I feel like I want to assault my DD (I never literally would but you know what I mean), I assault her with kisses. It helps ease the frustration out.

    I am always clock watching, too!

    I also try to remind my self what is the worst that could happen? If I have to walk with her for another few hours, I think at least I am getting some exercise. I also try to remember she won't be little for long and I will miss it one day.

    Also wanted to add that I sometimes feel I had her too young (I was 20 when I fell pregnant, 21 when she was born and she is 3 months now). I don't think I was too young to be a parent just more I wasn't prepared/ready. She was unplanned so I guess I feel like I didn't get everything done that I wanted to in advance but I don't blame her, it isn't her fault at all and now I wouldn't trade it... but I do miss my old life at the same time... you know what I mean?

    I have had feelings of wanting to run away and I have had times when I leave her with DF so I can just drive. I always come back but I know that feeling.

    If i am having a bad day and feeling like i need to vent i ring DH - i dont care what he is doing at work, i just let it all out.
    Sometimes i ring him crying cause i have had enough and i tell him that "i just needed to hear your voice". Then i dont feel so alone and DH knows that i am having a crappy day and he can share my woes.
    If its a really bad day - he might hear from me 3 or 4 times, if its a good day he might not hear from me at all or sometimes i just ring him to tell him i love him.

    I clock watch too - waiting for DH to come home and share the load.


    My DH keeps me sane - most of the time
