Weekend wrap-up!

Posted on

Lady of leisure,… NOT!
I spent most of the weekend lounging in bed, which sounds a whole lot better than it actually was!  I had the worst headache and it totally kicked my ass.  Not very often do they completely debilitate me but this one thoroughly succeeded!!  I have a fabby shiatsu massage pillow with heat and vibrations and it was my best friend throughout the weekend.  On the up side, I got to watch chick movies to my heart’s delight without much of the overwhelming testosterone level interfering!  That would be the silver lining to a pretty not-so-ideal weekend!!

No more airplanes in my laundry room!!
The other bright spot was the arrival of our new washer and dryer, delivered a few days early!  Our old washer, on spin cycle, sounded like a rather large airplane preparing to take off.  It was jaw rattlingly loud sometimes and largely ineffective at spinning despite the noise!!  And our dryer took an average of 4 runs through for a small load of 4 freakin’ towels.  Not anymore!  It is quiet and QUICK!  On average during the school week, I would start my first of 4 loads at 0600 and the last load would be dry around 1500 – 1600 that afternoon.  RI-DIC-U-LOUS!  So, I am a happy camper!  I figure we should save in electricity bills what we paid for the new appliances in just a few months!!


Am I drowning?

This is been a pretty sucky week overall, and it isn’t even over yet.  I started the week with discovering that my truck was broken into.  I wouldn’t have even known had my neighbor not called me and told me that her car and her friend’s car had both been broken into.  They stole all kinds of stuff from their cars but only took my title and registration.  So after getting a police report, to the DMV I went to replace both.  The sucky part?  I have to renew my registration in June again anyway.  Blah.

Other than that, it has just been a week of nonstop bullshit.  The neverending crap I take on a daily basis is wearing me down.  I can’t win at much of anything any more and it seems like I spend most of my life either yelling at someone or crying.  I can’t even make dinner without at least one child losing it over it.  I even had one burst into tears the other night, acting like I was feeding him elephant turds on spaghetti.  It is insane.  I get talked to by everyone in this house like I am not even human, without any consideration that I might have feelings.  The only time that changes is when I point it out and that just isn’t right.  I shouldn’t have to point out to them that I am a person with feelings, not everyone’s little bitch girl.  They talk to me like I am an idiot, but the minute they want something, I am the first person they go to.  WTF? 

I feel like I am drowning and no one notices or cares.  I feel like I am going to lose my friggin’ mind with the nonstop crap.
