My mother-in-law asked what I'd like to do: shopping, maybe go to a store, shopping? I had no desire to take my kids out in public. Canon had been regressing (he was SO that screaming kid who peed his pants getting dragged out of the mall). I spent most of the day "home," crying. We watched "Up" 4 times in a row. Also, Canon pooped on the carpet (don't tell G'ma Roth, please) and Sagan put her stuffed kitty (named "Puppy") in the toilet. Greg went golfing (again).
The thing is, I didn't want to get my period on vacation (or ever, to be honest), so I jumped to the new pack of birth control. This delayed my period by about a week and, as a very special bonus, gave me "God, just kill me now" PMS. You take a vacation with 3 small children to someone's lovely, but not child-proof home for two weeks, PLUS you hate everyone and everything, AND your husband has mastered the skill of dodging your guilt trips and wants to have fun before returning to his 60 hour work weeks.
Issuing an official apology to all my in-laws, spouses, and children who's heads I may have bitten off.
(hangs head in shame)
I'm so sorry.
The day I got my period, it was like magic, I was happy and tolerant ... sigh.
Now I'm home.
Time to get things together.
Except, I'm going crazy here already, I confess. The piles of Christmas related crap, my mostly unemployed mother, the overwhelming belief that I have to do everything. Tho, I don't know how to get anyone else int he house to SEE what needs to be done and DO it and it would take as long to explain how to do it as to just do it myself.
What's the solution? Fine. I'll just get every room perfect and keep them up.
Alright. I'm off to get the house "salesman ready".
Here's a before pic:
Stop by tomorrow for the exciting reveal.
