God I just want the kids to do as I ask with out arguing! Do there chores when I ask, how I ask, in a timely manner, without disappearing before they are all done. Everytime I ask for something to be done, they disappear before they have finished and they complain the entire time they are doing it! It's driving me NUTS! All I want is some co-operation, is it too much to ask.
I keep getting, "can we go out to eat, wash my clothes, I need this washed, why isn't this clean, do this for me, take me here."
Now it's "why do I have to do it, she's not doing anything?" Well damn-it, because I told you too! I am so tired of it. Then they get upset because I have resorted to yelling. Well I have resorted to yelling because I feel like they aren't listening to me!
And the bickering and back biting is driving me to my wits end! I just want to hide away.
I go outside to have a cigarette and be alone and they follow me to tattle and snip, ask questions, whats for dinner and MOOOMMMMM!
I have no clue whats for dinner and it's 4:30. I just don't want to cope. I wish Tom was here, then at least he'd be cooking dinner.
Plus I have to go finish mowing the lawn. I mowed the front Thursday and the back is knee high and gone to seed. It has got to be done today, otherwisw Tom will be spending 2 hours doing it tomorrow, and it will ruin my Mothers Day because I will have to deal with all the kids then too! I just want get away!
Tom got his Mom a Manicure and Pedicure for Mothers Day. I haven't gotten mine anything yet. I know that Liz is going all out for Moms day but De seems to have forgotten that it exsists. And I have no clue if Tom got me anything! Not that I really expect anything from Tom or the kids. All I would really like is a day of quiet, no fighting, sleep late, a clean house, no talking back. But I know I won't get these things til the kids move out. I'm going to mow the lawn at least there I can be alone!, it's not quiet, but it's alone!
