OY! What a week this has been! It started off pretty decent I suppose, I was suddenly the family favorite best friend lol I spent hours coloring with 'Taye, just playing with Angela and had Bradley talking up a storm! I even spent over 4 hours on the phone with my mom! the only bad thing was that Greg's brakes went out AGAIN! It has taken a nose-dive since then tho..On Tuesday I got sick and truthfully I'm still not better, even tho I've lapsed back into "I'm fine" answers. Today all 3 kids apparently took their "meaner than copperhead" pills or something tho! Chantaye got Angela & me both up at 8:30! then she proceeded to keep Angela up all day, and they are both still up yelling like banshees, even tho I made them go to bed a little after 8. Bradley is back in his no-talk mode, which means he will only talk to Greg, doesn't even want me to get him anything to eat. I swear I don't think even valium could help at this point, let alone calgon lol.
Greg's grandparents got back today from NJ, and they stopped by here on their way home (before time for Greg to be up! grrrrrr!!!) Guess what they wanted? no, not to let us know they made it back ok..they wanted the kids! I swear they act like we are a drop-off sitter service! Don't get me wrong I appreciate all the help it is when they watch the kids for us, but omg I have a fight on my hands everytime the kids come home, and now here they come before they've even been to their own house wanting to take them back! Greg tried to explain that we have to get Bradley a physical for school, buy him school clothes, and all that good stuff, and he has got to have a haircut this coming week if not before...but do you think that changed their minds or made any sense to them? of course it didn't!
I'm sorry to rant and ramble and rave but I'm about 2 steps from literally screaming at the top of my lungs!

ROFL! Meaner than a copperhead pills... I've never heard of those, but some days they sure would explain a lot!

Hi Aretha, Wow how I remember those days when the children just almost would drive you to the brink on insanity. I know this will not help and even sounds a bit crazy, but one day you'll look back when your nest is empty and long for these days again. Believe you will, for now I do and I never thought I would. Oh The peace and quiet is nice, but you really wish there was all that noise and acitivity again, good and bad. :o) Take heart as they say "This too shall pass" Love and hugs!!

Hey Aretha! I sure hope your Friday is going well. I know what you mean about the kids coming back and being little terrors...my in-laws do the same thing to my kids. Ugh!! Keep your chin up, my friend....(((hugs)))
