......when does a person really snap? Now I know why parents are on drugs or abuse alcohol so they can "run away" from all this crap. I on the other hand run to food in these situations and sadly I don't feel good when I do it either. I usually feel worse!
First day of school for my minions. Two in school and one more to go. Can I please throw Roxy in kindergarten now????? She is the straw that is going to break the camels back.
Yesterday was a beautiful day and everything actually fell into place. The kids had no school due to the storm on Sunday and I had my company picnic at Lake Compounce. It was a gorgeous day and I was very happy that the kids did not have to go to school so that we were able to take full advantage of the picnic.
Started the day off with chores followed by a family run. I pushed Roxy and Trinity and Lincoln rode their bikes. It was a flat 4 mile loop that we usually do. Todd worked from home so he joined in on the run too. It was really nice. Back home and into the shower to get ready for the picnic at 1 p.m. Once there we hit the water park and the kids had a blast. Roxy did fall asleep on daddy for about an hour or so which was great. She really did need the nap. What didn't we do at LC? Water park, rides, games, food, food and more food. Don't forget the free beers they were serving all day/night. I had about 4 beers in the water park while hanging with the kids and I was very "happy" after those beers. I was on cloud nine while we walked around the park eating, playing and hitting some rides. Finally I fell apart when I went on Zoomerang for our last ride. The flips and turns killed my head. Lets just say I couldn't get home and into bed fast enough. I was so nauseous! Just call me a light weight.
Finally got everybody home around 8:30 p.m. and I had three really exhausted children on my hands and two tired parents. Lets just say I wasn't too happy!
Today was a "get shit done" type of day:
Get everybody up and ready for school along with doing my morning chores (cats, plants, litter box etc), Kohl's to exchange a shirt, Walgreens to pick up medicine for Roxy, teach class (WOD hour spin class - kicked my own ass), light grocery shop, home to unpack (always lugging around a thousand bags), call Maytag guy (freezer died.....whole other story), call DR (make apt for Trinity), DQ visit to order b-day cake for my b-day dinner that we had tonight (My b-day is not until Sept 8th but since Todd is going to Germany and won't be around for my b-day he wanted to celebrate it with the family tonight), bake cupcakes for kids' first day of school, fold laundry, Roxy fell asleep on couch so I put her to bed, cleaned up garage and put some furniture back on patio, fed the bunnies, frost cup cakes, help plumber (remodeling kids' bathroom), Roxy is up and time to feed her lunch (me too!), computer work, help plumber again (he was putting a new sink top on and needed my help lifting it), pack up cupcakes to bring down to bus stop, get kids off bus, plumber leaves, neighbor comes over to see the bathroom job and ends up helping me fit the back-splash behind the faucet (of course nothing fits the same when you decide to buy new stuff), other neighbor comes over house (I hand her a pork roast because everything is thawing out), all neighbors finally leave, throw kids in car to hit ESPN and bring Grigs some chicken (again more thawed out stuff from freezer) and pick up b-day present at ESPN store for my mother's husband whom was also part of the b-day celebration, home, L and R wrapped the present (R decides to throw the tape under the stove and I could not reach it), took showers with the kids (brought each one in one at a time....they were NOT happy), dressed everybody up, dressed myself up (still wore a visor over my wet hair....I was NOT going to do my hair), grabbed all the stuff we needed and once Daddy got home we hopped in the car to go to Tonio's in Plainville and have pizza with the whole family......PHEW! I'm not even done yet. Back home after 8 p.m. to put the kids to bed, pack their lunches and fill out their paperwork that the school needs ASAP. Here I am....it is 9:55, I'm shot, bloated, exhausted, emotionally drained and totally fucking DONE! The problem with this crazy day? My kids sucked pond water. I had issues with R whining all day and the other two did not give a shit about anything all afternoon and would not listen to me. I was so frustrated and beaten down. I do nothing but talk all the time and they do the same shit over and over again. I don't understand how they can just keep on ignoring me. We have rules in this house you little fuckers! Remember these rules???? I have been teaching them to you from day one. Why is parenting do damn hard. I hate it!
