Motherhood Newbie

So my son is a little over two months old or as my lovely husband would say 65 days old. When he was not even a day old he was already trying to hold his head up even the Pediatritian was impressed! Day by day his little head gets stronger, but when he gets happy and he is sitting up (assisted) his head goes EVERYWHERE! The poor little thing has managed to hit his nose on my collar bone and his grandma's. Within the first month I was able to mail out and hand out almost half of his birth announcements. However, I still have half of them left and sending them finally to my husband's side of the family along with Valentine's Day cards. Yes, I know it's cheesy but I always loved receiving and sending Valentines. So I figured this year I'd send a few out, and I also got them for nearly free through Shutterfly all I had to do was pay shipping. I really want to get these out so they can get to the locations on time, but of course I am STILL waiting on my procrastinating husband! So I currently am a stay at home mom and full-time college student working towards my A.A. sure some people think it is easy until they have a nearly newborn in their house who wants to be held all the time when he is awake and when he's asleep you're so tired you can barely keep your eyes open. So school is a little more challenging to do now, but somehow I am managing to still maintain an A in both my classes (knock on wood). When my husband gets home sometimes it just feels like I'm getting a lot of critism. No, I'm not as laid back as him, I stress out easy, and it is harder on me than on him because I'm the one who wakes up with the little one while he sleeps right through it. So when he sits there and tells me that we need to straigten up the house and keep it straight it is hard especially when it is not messy and I just cleaned! He should've seen the tornado that came through before he got home. Needless to say being a "housewife" is not as easy as I thought it would be. I want dinner cooked... bleh... I want it vaccummed... bleh... I want my laundry done... bleh.. I'm running late can you iron my uniform... bleh... somedays I've had enough and just want to sit in a scalding hot bath and relax!

Feeling that way now!
