Okay so i just have a couple of things on my mind. I was wondering this:
How come that on a day that you have alot of much needed things to do that require alot of focus and attention; such as packing up the house, that, that is the day your child decides its a good day to not listen to a word that you have to say?! And do whatever the hell they want?! Well that is how my morning went. I swear he was in time out every 3 minutes for a whole hour. Every 3 minutes he would get off of time out, i would yell "come here slade" (that meant it was time to get off his time out spot i.e. his bed, and come to wherever i was yelling from) well he decided that it would be fun to test my patience and not come when called, so that just made him have another time out. he was in uncountable amount of time outs this morning! Here's another scenario: i would look over when he would be "helping" me pack, and he would have just unboxed or unbagged garbage and belongings that i just spent time putting together or throwing out!!! So "helpful" that was! just doubled my workload. Of course he didnt get introuble for that, because deep in his heart he really thought he was helping.
He is a wonderful, truely helpful child, but when something requires more of my attention than he would like it too, he decides that its a good time to press mommies buttons to prove a point that he is still my primary focus. Any attention is good attention in his eyes. The funny thing is though, that when i am taking care of sis, he is SO patient! He just waits until i am finished, but if its something such as cleaning or packing he is just right up in my "grill". He loves to help but apperantly today, packing wasn't on his mind! Digging out everytoy possible was!
Also, how is it that when you are out in public with your pack of children, single people or people who are out alone, decide that you are an annoyance in their day?! Like for instance, i had to hit up the grocery store today, during lunch break, yes i know poor timing but avoiding "lunch hour" wasnt on my list of "to do's" today. When i had the open time to leave the house, i did so! Anywhos-it, these people that were at the store for a quick stop, cut you off, snear at you, and just give you the run down of how you are in their way, with that look of "dont you know im in a hurry"....when all i want to say is "listen here asshole!! i am in the middle of packing out, with 2 kids and a shit ton of errands to do before we leave! sorry that i am an incovinience to you, while you are buying your cigs and bottle of pop!"......people are just down right rude! Any parent knows that teaching your children independance and growth is key! so when slade goes with me to the store, he helps me get what we need off of the shelf. I tell him, he finds it, grabs it, while i wait patiently for him. Single people dont have these patience, and look at you like you are a pile of dogshit on their doorstep! Its just downright rude, and its one of my biggest pet peeves ever. and i NEVER apologize for that! my childs developement is far more important that me worrying about offending someone or being in their way. They can either be patient with us, or not, either way, i dont give a rats ass!
Whew! I feel a little better!
Okay that is all.
Have a good afternoon!
