I had a nice little post in my head that I wanted to write. About the pity party I've been having the last couple of days and about how I feel I'm a bit frazzled. I was going to share the past two days of my life with you. By breaking it down with time slots and everything. Just a boring, frazzled day as a mother of three living kids.
I planned to share snippets of my day which has led me to my hatred for that whiny, bratty bald-headed 4 year old kid from Canada. Also known as C.aill.ou. Who my daughter LOVES but tends to be just a wee-bit bratty and whiny after she watches it (which a friend mentioned that's how son acts so she has banned it from her house. As I should, too, I know, I know.) And he's always doing such wonderful 'projects' that my daughter thinks we should do, too. Such as painting furniture which was yesterday's fun project. I wanted to share the fun snippets that potty-training my daughter has given me. Such as having to rewash the clothes I've just put in the dryer because I see little pellets of poop on the washing machine walls (my dh obviously doesn't know to rinse that out).
And that my baby boy still doesn't sleep through the night. At all. And my 11 yr old didn't go to camp for the month of July so he's bored half the time. And seems to act like a 3yr old half the time. He is taking swimming lessons again. Which have been very torturous for all involved. But I think this nazi lady will get him over his fear and have him swimming happily soon. I had to bring him today because my dh was running late (which I was informed about 5 minutes before we had to head out) and my son walks out with no shoes because he said "he didn't need them." Even though I had told him that we'd go to the store after his lesson to get that new game he wanted.
And then the stress I'm feeling about going on vacation in a few weeks. With my sisters and their families and my aunt and hers. And how my aunt is very similar to the Contessa (from tv's hswives of NYC) and how she stresses me the fuck out. I could do several posts on her and her antics.
Well, I ended up sharing more than I thought I would on the day in the life of me. Not as much as what was rolling around in my head because I made the mistake of going on fb before I came to post. And this is what I found... http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2011/07/4_killed_in_kenner_shooting.html
I'm not sure if the link will work. I have yet to figure out how to do that. The article is about a 29 yr old woman and her three children (ages 12 yrs, 18 mos, and 6mos) who were found shot and killed in the same bed in their home this evening. A possible murder-suicide. The father/husband found them when he came home from work.
So that certainly puts things in perspective, doesn't it. My heart hurts to hear this.
