Angry Housewife with a Head Cold

I have the urge to yell-75% of the time lately.
Blue Java and I can really get on each other's nerves. Yesterday he did 3 math problems on 3 different pieces of paper bc he was recycling. He didn't understand WHY I wanted them to be on one sheet of paper in numerical order.
Petite Java chose her outfit for today last night. Well this morning she went into meltdown bc she decided to wear pink"farkly" pants with an Inaugeration t-shirt, and pink shoes. When she put the pants on she cried bc they weren't as soft as she hoped.
I made her wear the outfit anyway.
Her lip is still a bit swollen from the dentist, she had on several shades of pink and due to the incident I had to walk her in to school since we were late.
I have given up on the playroom for about a week now. It needs to be marked off with yellow tape bc it hazardous.
I did empty the trashcan in there the other day to find liquids and mold at the bottom. I guess they decided that walking to the kitchen was too much for them. Drinks and Snacks are once again banned from any room other than the kitchen.
Grande left before 7 yesterday and didn't come home until after ten. Repeat today.
I vow the next time he is sick I am leaving him with 2 kids, a dentist appointment and I am going away.
As I write this, Petunia is in the shower.

THINGS THAT ANNOYED ME AND MADE ME LAUGH THIS WEEKEND

• someone hurt my friend's feelings
• this hurt my feelings
• petite java went tubing
• mil asked when Halloween was
• seriously she asked the date
• ONE TIME IN BAND CAMP-----when Grande was growing up the neighborhood trick or treated on a diff. day ONCE
  
• THIS HAS NEVER happened since my kids were born yet every year she asks
• The apple doesn't fall far from the tree bc Grande will ask when Thanksgiving is.
• AND I WILL SAY the 4th Thursday of November
• NOW that they have moved further North I can expect a 4-5 day visit
• We have fruit flys/gnats
• Dish soap, and vinegar works
• IT works even better if you do an aluminum foil lid with pencil holes so they can't change their mind
  

thought for the day

What goes around comes around

Kharma

Eye for an eye

Poop

I think one of the worst things ever is if your young independent child has "GI distress" or what my parents called "the green apple two step".
Petite Java thought it would be easier to just take care of things on her own, leaving disgusting panties in her bedroom yuck side down, AND in the bathroom.
So Blue Java stepped in poop-bc there was a trail.
Poor Petite probably thought she really pooped her pants and was trying to cover up (not saying she didn't poop her pants) but WE ALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
SO if you are my FB friend you will understand why she was in Granny Panties last night.

UGHH UGHH UGHH

UGHH.
I think I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
I don't think Grande has been home for dinner more than twice a week in about a year. He does not come home until 9:00 pm and leaves at 7 am. I know he is working but I'm not at home eating bon bons that's for sure. It gets pretty old cooking for my appetite, a 9 year olds and Petite. I think it is equivalent to cooking for 2. When I do leave a plate out it just goes in the fridge to sit and waste away.
I have had a sitter every week to watch the kids so I can attend school meetings. I need a little bit of normal. Just a little.
On a positive note I got together with friends and talked and laughed this morning. I am starting to hide Petite's summer clothes as they come out of the dryer.
I would like for her to go the non-cotton knit route to school some day!
Blue is practicing his recorder which is just payback from my days in elementary school. I smile and tell him it is wonderful.
Tomorrow the kids and I are getting together with my cousins husband. He has never met the kids.

This is what happens when your youngest is in school 5 days

So I will pick up two extra short days at work while Pink is in school. I have to keep reminding myself of that. It doesn't seem like a big deal but since I work in the am and on such a limited schedule , I do not like to take any time off. 

Pink has dance on Wednesdays and leaves school at 11:30. Soon Mondays will be my day. I will have both kids at school and will not go to work. Maybe I'll make that a gym day. I haven't been in a while and things are starting to shift.
