I feel like I'm being pulled in 12 different directions...
I like being a hair dresser, but it seems to stress me out more than I enjoy it. A good friend told me to dedicate 2 days a week to it, and if a client can't make those 2 days, then they will have to do it another week. I feel I am too accommodating, and this may be my source of stress. I've considered quitting hair all together...
Ethan is in the clingy phase. Its not as bad at home as when we are out. I step through the door of some one's house and the legs wrap around me and don't let go. I know that its a phase and won't last, but UUGGGHHHH. It makes me want to throw a fit just like he does!!
My husband and I aren't communicating as well as we should be. I can be angry, and think of all the things I want to say to him, but when it comes time to actually say what's on my mind, I go blank. I feel like the only way to get everything out would be to sit and type it....LOL. We need a weekend to ourselves without computers, T.V, distractions...

I'm sorry you are having a hard time with things.
I think dedicating only two days a week to hair is a GREAT idea. You can't be on call 24/7! Just make a schedule for those two days a week and if your client can't make it, then they just can't! I don't think you should stop all together, it is a nice way to make some extra money, your own money in a way.
And with Ethan, knowing that it is a phase doesn't make you want to pull your hair out any less! lol Yes, it is a phase but you can still vent about it to your friends. We will listen.
As for your hubby, you are right you do need a weekend without distractions. Maybe over the next couple of weeks you should write (type) things down that bother you, you want to talk to him about etc and use it as a "cheat sheet" so you don't go blank. That way you can make sure you get to say what you want and make it a goal to just have a conversation and not an argument. Things always get blown way out of proportion and stupid comments and accusations start flying! Those are the things you want to avoid. So write it all down and approach him one day and tell him there are some things you want to talk about, discuss etc and you don't want it to be an argument. Just two people talking about the things they are having problems with. I hope things work out for you soon. :D You can call me anytime you want!
I love you girl, and you know I'm here for you no matter what..if you need me to help with Ethan..I'd be happy to..if you need me to knock some sense into Beau..I'm all yours.. :D
Communication is key with a good happy marriage. You need to be open with your feelings..without being accusing and resentful..try expressing how you feel when things happen..versus expressing all the things that happen that are wrong..let him know you love him..but you need some help to make it a happy household.
Love you!! xo
It's SO hard to strike a balance, isn't it? And Ethan is going through a very trying phase... one which they ALL go through... and we ALL want to pull our hair out when they do. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with it.
I DO hope you and Beau get a weekend to yourselves soon - seriously. Your marriage should come FIRST - always! Even Ethan will be much happier for it :)
Hair... hmmmm... you do work around others' schedules WAY too much. You could always find childcare for Ethan and do hair part time in a salon... it would give you a break from Ethan and your friends could come to YOU where you work... and so could new clients ;) I don't know if that is the answer, but it's just a thought...
Love you, Girly! I hope it gets better soon.
XOXOX
