Man oh man am I tired! Honestly, i can't remember half of the weekend... just so much going on in my head and all! Saturday Frank worked, and then i think we went out... yeah we did, we went to bed bath and beyond because MIL said either this store or Linen and Things had a cd rack/stand for a good price. So we went to the closest one and at the same time checked out that shopping center. They have a scrapbooking store in there which i was thrilled to see! Anyway, we ended up buying a box of 12 wine glasses and a box of 12 drinking tall glasses. All of ours are breaking so easily. We had bought a set of 8 and only have 3 left! they break like they are made of paper or something! So we needed to buy more since we'd be short for Christmas. Had some dunkin donuts lattes (i'm getting addicted to those) and headed home. I put the kids to sleep and i just went to bed myself fairly early as well.
Sunday, we just headed to the Dolphin Mall because we told Robert he can go see Santa. So we took pictures with Santa and it's so funny because it's the same guy as last year and last years picture, Robert was crying and Amber was happy and this year, it was the opposite! Amber cried hysterically and Robert was happy and smiled! And we're proud of him because it's his first year he didn't cry with Santa. I have an album i put their yearly santa pics into and each year Robert has been crying, so this is such a nice change that he finally wasn't! We came home and I had Amber sleep in her bed and she did great! Fell out once, but then went right back to bed, so she did pretty good! And she's still doing great with the potty; yes, has some accidents here and there... expected.... but she's learning great!
Monday, since we needed to go grocery shopping and had nothing for breakfast, Frank ended up going to dunkin donuts and got us all breakfast. In the meantime, two of the 3 boxes from MIL came. They had lots of presents for the kids, and a few that were from Santa, so i was glad Robert went with Frank because i was able to put those away with Robert not seeing me put them away. There were some things for Kyle as well and the gift card for walmart for us to buy what we needed for kyle and the house for Christmas. So we all headed to walmart. We got the bassinet for Kyle, two more Christmas set boxes for Christmas eve (there will be so many people that the ones i had will not be enough), more utensils (again, i don't have enough for everyone), another box of pots because i don't have enough to cook that much food anyway, and curtain rods for all the curtains. We also had to get another coffee pot because Amber had broken the one we had (now i'll make sure to keep it where she can't reach! lol) Then we added on some groceries and we were set! Came home and put all away and i started to put up the curtains in the kitchen. The window is so wide, that i don't like the way they look so i may have to buy either another set, or try to find the same one and just add it in there so it looks better. Oh yeah, and we got the cd rack/stand as well.
This day was being so long on me, and i was soooo tired already from everything. After dinner, Frank began to work on removing the wallpaper in the bathroom. What a disaster! Here comes my rant with him! I don't know if he was just doing a half-assed job and didn't want to put some elbow grease into it, or what he was doing, but of course, he was having a "hard" time getting it off and complaining, so he gave up! And to top it off, all teh crap he had so far taken off he just left it all on the bathroom floor! He also began to take out the cd rack to put together but then stopped i had to do it! I was so frustrated because even though i was following directions, i was having a hard time with it and the kids were all in my way and touching everything and Robert just made the biggest mess by breaking all the styrofoam and it was all over teh floor everywhere! I felt like i was loosing my mind! We finally finished it and i cleaned up all of that. Then i cleaned up the bathroom that frank left a mess and did the dishes after dinner. During all of this, fedex delivered the slipcovers we were waiting on. So frank opens it to see them and of course, why open it if you're not planning on putting them on. So i ask him to help me put them on.... he was just f****** standing there and saying "i dont' know what to do"... shit neither did i but it wasn't hard to figure out and it would have been so much quicker and easier to have another set of hands helping me on the other side pulling and tucking! I was so frustrated because also all this time, he's constantly paying attention to the tv and i had to repeat myself over and over and i was just so furious and yelling at him adn everyone! Not to mention that i still had to put amber in the bath and bed and I forgot to get dog food at walmart, so i had to go back out! Oh yeah, not to mention that i also put together the bassinet for Kyle.... so after all this crap, i was so exhausted and frustrated and in so much pain because no matter what way i moved, Kyle would kick me soooo hard, i just wanted to lay down and die! I didn't want to move one inch because he would kick every time! So Robert still wanted me to play a board game with him so we played his Spider Man matching game and i told him i had to go. I wasn't goign to take him but then frank said he was going to bed so i ended up taking Robert with me. Came back, Amber was in our bed, but she was asleep (and frank was complaining), so i put her in bed and then Robert. I was just so tired that i did nothing else and just checked my email and went to bed. I intended to finish my last village house, but i just had no energy. And seriously, i'm so frustrated with Frank. Every time i ask him for help or to do something for me, i have to ask like 5 times and half the time if not most of the time, he's not even paying attention to me! I'm getting really really sick of it! I constantly feel like i'm talking to a god damn wall! and then he has the audacity to tell me that i do the same stuff to him! yeah, ok.... i run around like a chicken without a head and do everything i have to do and more now and i dont' listen! He's really treading on a thin line with me and i've just about had enough!
Today, i so far have hanged up some of my curtains and rods, and now i'm just waiting on the rest of the curtains that are coming in the mail. I still have to hang up all the rods in the living room and Robert's room. So i'll be doing that when i'm done here. Not cooking tonight though because Frank will bring food home. So at least that's a relief. And to top it off, Robert is being so bad with Amber and with me! he keeps on mouthing off to me, to her and yelling and throwing things. I"m to the point, i keep on telling him that he's being such a bad boy that Santa won't come. He gets upset and all, but then continues to be even worse. I"m getting really mad with this as well! This is just all so stressful for me with all the crap i have to take care of and dealing with Frank and his lack of help, and the kids as well, and this baby kicking the living daylights out of me! I"m about to lose it!
Anyway.... sorry this was so long.... just thought i'd come in and well.... vent a bit!
Hope eveyrone is having a good week so far.
