Boy Was I Wrong!

About my last post...

Did it happen? Hell NO, it did not happen. M decided to put a new water heater in the weekend. WTF? Could he have possibly picked a worse time? I don't think so! I was dragging on Saturday. I could hardly move. Does anyone understand how hard it is to take care of and entertain a 13 month old child, when you cannot even force yourself to function?! Well, it sucks. I'll admit it.

And while he was installing that, did he bother to clean up his mess? NO! Did he finish the projects that he started in there months ago? NO! What did he decided to do the next day? Wash his truck! What is wrong with this man? He has started so many things, and has yet to complete half of them. I still have new doors on my back porch that we bought when we purchased the house over two years ago. OK... I can feel my blood beginning to boil, so I'll let this subject end here while I am still considering myself to be nice about him.

My poor sister-in-law put her children in daycare today so that she could go back to work. I called her earlier and she was still sitting outside of the daycare crying. I cannot imagine how she feels because my kids have not been put in daycare. I have been fortunate enough that my mother can watch them. So that level of comfort that I have has never been penetrated. I have admiration for all of you that do not have this opportunity. I would worry myself sick if D was in daycare and I couldn't call 10 times a day to check on him. I don't even want to think about that.

The kids are doing great. We had wonderful weather this past weekend and they played outside all day for three days. H and his friend are in the process of building an underground fort in our back yard. It's almost 5 feet deep. They have wood all around it. It's actually pretty impressive if you ask me. I don't many 9 year olds that take the patience to do something so tedious, yet worry about making it safe for themself and for their younger brother and sister. I am so proud of him.

Well, I had better be off now.

Yeah for the Weekend...

Because I am sleeping in. I mean that I am staying in bed all day. For once, M has not obligated himself to help someone, so he is playing single parent for a day. If he decides that he has somewhere he needs to go... guess what... you are taking three kiddos with you! HAHAHA He thinks it's soooooooo easy, but let me tell you dear husband, it is not!

I cannot complain too much because he gets up with D every Saturday and Sunday so that I can sleep in until around 9AM, but this weekend, I'm not getting out of bed. I am staying there all day watching TV, napping, and reading books. I need this anyway because I have bronchitis. I'm on a muscle relaxer, cough suppressant with hydrocodone, and an antibiotic.

On another note, have I told you yet that my in-laws are finally here from FL? Yep, they sure are and we are really enjoying their company. It has been a lot better/easier than I expected it would be having another complete family living with us temporarily. But it is going great! They are wonderful people!!!

Valentine's day was fun. We didn't do too much for each other. He got me some beautiful tulips (my favorite) and I got him a pair of "crazy dice." Yep, it's probably what you are thinking. But we went all out on the kids with toys, a stuffed animal, candy, and balloons. They had so much fun with it all. M and I don't need V-day to prove our love for each other or for our kids, but it's nice to have a legitimate reason for spoiling them beyond belief.
