Trying out a new site

This is my first time posting over here....so I'm going to try it out.

I'm am an almost 39 (gasp) year old mother of two girls...G (will be 5) and A (will be 3).  I'm a full time working mother and wife.  I think I'm normally stressed out...yeah, I'm normally stressed.  I spend way too much time yelling....trying to control that.

Like I said, I work full time in a job I really don't like...however, at almost 39 (gasp), I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.....and unfortunately feel that I have too many responsibilities (mostly financial)...to step back and try to figure that part out, without seriously hurting the financial position of my family.

DH and I have known each other essentially since HS.  I'm not going to lie and say that things are peachy keen.....it's a daily struggle and life has been getting more difficult lately.  Our biggest problem seems to be in the communication department...or lack of communication I should say.  Things get bad when we don't communicate.

I'm tired (did I mention I have two little girls AND I work full time outside the house)?

Ava is usually up at least once a night AND up for good around 5:30 every morning.

Our dining room is completely torn apart and has been since about the end of July.  We (I should say DH and my cousins husband) replaced a double window with a sliding door, and then the projects just spiraled.  Now we have re-painted the room (I should say DH has).  We are replacing the existing molding with wider stuff (I should say DH)..we/he still needs to trim out the sliding door and I've decided that I want the openings to the kitchen and living room trimed out in, well, trim.  More work for DH while I take care of the girls.

Oh yeah....and the living room is a complete disaster b/c everything that had been in the dining room is now in the living room.  We got rid of the old dining set that we've had for 10 years (a complete piece of crap that was rescued from a house fire) and our new stuff is arriving in two weeks.  Keep your fingers crossed that we get the room done by then.

I'm not an eloquent writer like Mckmama and yes I do love her blog.

And I do tend to whine alot....but ya know what?  It's my blog and I can whine if I want to.....some feel free to bring some cheese.  :)  If it's a really bad whine session, I'll warn you.

That's about it for me.  I'm not sure how often I'm going to be able to post....I really shouldn't do this at work...they monitor our web usage and now lable things like this as social networking site.....whatever.  I don't get on the PC alot at home...ok, that's BS, I'm addicted to Facebook....but.....
