More headachiness today.....think it's gone for good now though. Until the next child induced crisis.
The kids lost out on the fair, and also a camping sleepover that they have been looking forward to at Miss Sue's. Tomorrow when Dave drops them off at Sue's, they will have to tell her they can't attend the camp-out and why. Dave also saw fit to dole out spankings...that had about as much effect on Trent as I thought it would. It made a somewhat bigger impression on Devin, probably because she's never had one from Dad.
Good times these are...and they are only going to get better. ;)
The talk of the village this week is the asshats that were across the street from me in the middle of the night stealing wood Friday night. They are either the dumbest criminals alive, or were waaayyyyy drunk. Or both. I'm thinking that if you're going to steal wood, you may not want to chuck it into a metal truck without even trying to be a tad quiet about it. I was soooooo tired that night, and not a damn bit happy to be woken up at midnight to that.
I have been slowly getting caught up on village work again. Managed to get the meeting minutes done today also. I've been keeping a log of the hours I spend on village work for a week now. It is not pretty...
Need to hit the hay early tonight.....pulling the 6-1pm shift tomorrow. Leaving there early to go to a 2 pm election training class. I was off today, thank goodness! I pull the 7-10 on Wednesday, and 6-2:30pm on Thursday. Then I'm off on Friday and Trent and I have a date. We are going out to dinner and to see a play. I need to pack for the biggies that day too. They head for my sisters/moms on Saturday. FOR THE WEEK. Gotta love living far away from family, it makes them do some crazy ass shit for you...
I think I may actully go crazy if this guest room is not finished very soon. Everything in this house is out of place, and Miaya is into everything. I WANT MY HOUSE BACK!!! I need for it to be done before next Monday because I still need to paint it and move the guest bed into it. Then I can move the toys back downstairs. I do not want to have to move the toys from room to room when they are installing the carpet next Monday. Gaaaahhhh....
Today started the "Trent, we really need to help Devin learn her letters, and help you brush up for the first grade that starts in 4 weeks" program here at home. Neither one of them wanted to stop working on it this evening. Maiya thinks she must sit on the big notebook that we were using though...
