(VENT) My Monday

[starrieskies]

My mother is mad at me because H asked his parents to watch DS on Saturday night, and she feels like she never sees him. Which I understand, but I didn’t ask anyone to watch him! H decided that we were going to go out with some friends, and HE called his parents. I wasn’t even home!

MIL dropped him off on Sunday afternoon with no nap. AND after telling me that she didn’t put him to bed until 11:30 and let him get up at 5am to watch cartoons, she announces that she’s taking a week of vacation in a month or so and she’s going to keep DS for the whole week. She said she’d let me know when she has her When I started to say, we’ll see how the summer goes, she interrupted me and said “ALL children spend a week with their grandparents in the summer” and walked out of the room.

Fast forward to this morning when my normally well behaved 3 year old was apparently possessed by the devil, and threw a fit about the shirt I gave him to wear, despite the fact that he was the one who picked it out! Not just a little “I don’t want to wear that one”, no, a HUGE screaming, crying, stomping fit! When I finally got him dressed, he decided to throw another fit because the jacket he wanted to wear was dirty and he had to wear a different one, then he didn't want to get in the car and I had to chase him all over the front yard!

I was late for work, and we had a payroll process audit with our bank first thing in the morning. After the meeting I had to actually DO payroll, and I’m still working on the paperwork that goes with it 6 hours later.

I ran out to lunch and decided to eat my frustrations away and got some pizza. I now have pizza sauce on my shirt. (which matches the coffee on my pants that I spilled this morning too)

All I want to do is go home and curl up on the couch and watch a movie. I really shouldn’t have gotten out of bed today.

Vent over. (heads back to finish paperwork)

I didn't read past the first paragraph, because I'm pretty sure that if there were anything more interesting, you'd have said it right away.

That said, why in the world does your mom even know that your MIL is watching the kid on Saturday?

Good luck. That can't be easy.

@kuus - She called yesterday while MIL was leaving and DS was throwing a fit. So, when she asked what was going on, I told her MIL had just dropped DS off. Normally this isn't a big deal for her, so I didn't think anything of telling her. Now she's upset.

Any one of these would be ok, and relatively easy to handle on its own. I just feel like I'm getting hit from all directions today.

I guess I just put on my crankypants this morning.
