Well, tomorrow Madison and I are heading out to Grandma Gracies for the next 3 days. Steve is going down to Jimmy's farm with his bike. He said he wouldn't go but that doesn't make for a happy guy so I gave in and told him to just go. I am not bitching about this....I am just stating it as it is. Then next weekend he'll be home but the weekend after that he'll be down there again. I will just take it in stride, hopefully and deal with it. I still am not kidding anyone that I am happy about this. I could say no but where will that get me? It's just easier if he goes and then try to deal with it. So anyways....I didn't want to stay home alone so we are heading out to grandma gracies until Saturday night.
I am kinda tired. I slept through the night last night which is a first in a long, long time. We'll see what happens tonight.
Today we went to the beach with Auntie Lynnie. It was fun. She was a little naughty and Lynnie talked me into doing a star chart for her for when she is a good girl for the am/afternoon hours and for the night hours. She actually got a star tonight. She didn't get one for the afternoon though. I won't get into that. After so many stars she gets to pick a prize out of our prize bucket that we bought today. So far this is working....it made her stop and think about what she was doing and knowing that she is getting rewarded for good behavior. Ahhhh, the threats a parent makes. hee hee. She seems excited by this. And I am happy that this isn't a snackie reward. She eats too many snacks and crap.
I think I am pms'ing cuz I just am tired out by the parenting and marraige issues and all the compromising and working. It's hard work these last two days. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade this for anything but it just seems like some hard work these last few days. Whew. I need a vacation. ha. I went on my 3 mile walk by myself these last 2 days just to "get away". It worked abit. Turned up the volume on my headphones and lost myself for an hour while I walked. It was a good get away. Just enough time to recoup and get back to family life.
Well, I had best get to bed right now. I have some laundry I have to get done tomorrow morning before we go to Grandma Gracies and I will try to get up early tomorrow. NOT that this is going to be done, mind you. But I should because Steve wants me to mow the lawn and get the basement ready for Jimmy and Alexis who are coming tomorrow night. I can only do what I can and can't promise anything is what I told him. I am just so blah feeling that I can't even push myself to do it. I usually LOVE mowing the lawn because it's a bit of a physical outlet for me but it just seems like a lot of work. Yes....I think I just need to get a good night of sleep and get out of this funk that I am in. Good night. Don't let the bed bugs bite.
