OMG I hate Tuesday ''Mondays''. They are like a wet fart in clean underwear.

I had to take all three kids to the dentist. Two of which still freak out every time. And two had small cavities, so they get to go back:)

I get home and have a three day weekend nobody was home house to clean up. I have been able to mop, sweep and make lunch;p That is as far as I have gotten. I am not sure how much further I have in me.

My kids WONT stay outside. We finally have nice weather, where they need hardly no clothes and can be free and no body will go!

My son also made good friends with a little boy, his age over the weekend. They fell in love! they have been with each other all weekend. The mom and I are very different. And she is wound a little tight...so everytime I see them waddling down my street I dread the knock at the door. Be cause she insists on hanging out with the kids in my back yard...which weirdos me out. Like I am being graded. She also cant stand my younger two kids so she is always picking at them. I correct her and remind her they are younger....So, they had been gone all morning and just got home. The first thing they did was walk down the street. I popped my head out and told them we were eating.....he would be out later.

So, after I fed lunch to the munchkins I have tried to get back to cleaning..and I am thinking to myself...it should not be this hard....right? I know with life comes the good the bad and the sometimes overly silly....but, I just stop and go''Really? did I miss something?'' Do you ever feel like this? I am not having a bad day....just an annoying one! PMS much, is more like it.

How is your Tuesday/ Monday treating you??
Did anyone else's kids freak out over the fireworks going off? Mine did. Until 11:30...maybe this is why mama is grumpy:(

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I will add the first day we met she pounded me to the ground about smoking. My Housemate is a causal smoker. I happened to be standing next to him the last time he smoked(which was earlier that day), so my coat smelled the smoke still I guess. So she very rudely goes ''Do you by any chance smoke?''....not wanting to have to drag her through the fact I dont smoke but our house mate does, I answered yes. She does well James is freaked out by smoking. I nicely told her it would not be an issue. He doesnt not smoke at home.....this being my first impression of her...I was sort taken back.

Ditch the lady. Life is too short. Just tell her you have too much to do to hang out and entertain someone. If she really wants to hang around, hand her a mop LOL! She'll leave quick if you give her chores to do.

I am the daycare lady to these Tuesday-masquerading-as-Monday kids-after-fireworks-parades-and-running-amok-all-weekend (plus it wicked stormed about 3-4am I guess..I slept thru it...lightening, downpours and thunderbumping)...and am blessed to say....one child arrived at 10 am, one at noon, one is a No Tuesdays child...and the new infant doesn't start until tomorrow! (and the 10 am arrival already left for a Dr appointment check up! Sweet!) The other 3 were on time, and one of them left after lunch as well!

Dinner is mostly cooked, cuz I was spot on with home made sloppy joes at 7am, while I waited for kidlets to arrive...which is good as I am on day 8 of calorie counting, which means day 5 of evening mini-migraines until my body adjusts....

I got the best end of this normally craptastic situation for a daycare lady! I hope yours gets better!

Mine is OK. We're about to venture into the 100 + degree heat. Who knows what it will be like after then!

Ugh, bad days stink. Your oldest is 6 so even if I assume it's the oldest who made the friend. I would probably stick around with my 6 yr old just because, not to grade ya. But I'm not wound up tight either, so that sucks. I wouldn't tolerate someone picking at my younger kids either, that's rude.
I totally get your day. I've had days where it's like I dread everything that's happening. Like I'm just moody. It almost started like that yest because it started raining and I had all this outdoor fun stuff for july 4th. I had to chill and when we drove to the city celebration it wasn't raining there so yay. It turned out to be the best july 4th ever. I believe it's all about attitude. Try to find the good in things. Easier said than done lmao, believe me I know.

My daughter was skeptical and mini-freaked when the fireworks went off b/c they were ours and right there, ya know. We didn't have too many people shoot off fireworks, surprising really. The people who did were far away enough that there was a little noise but I just say it's fireworks and she'd be fine.

My day is okay but I have to do umpteen million assignments for this business class, ugh. This teacher gives us too much work... seriously.

surpise visit from my mom, who is convinced driving 2 hrs one way and spending $100 a pop on a some sort of holistic physic chiropractor will solve all her self created problems and she is trying to convince me to tell her this is a great idea, Worse than a used car saleman, she is. I smiled and nodded for 2 hours!! now i need to clean up from the weekend and try to figure out how to pull myself off this computer and out of depression.

answers from Eugene on

I'm wondering, did she ask you about smoking in a rude tone, or was it just the fact that she asked that you felt was rude?

Also, how old are the boys that you're talking about? Is it possible that she just wants to get to know you, your household, and your parenting style a bit before she feels comfortable letting her son hang out there alone with you?
