Frustration

Gosh. Today has been pretty darn frustrating. I don't know what is more stressful, during the school year when I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown between clinicals and tests and running around with the kids, or on summer break when the kids act like little hellions and Gracie refuses to listen to ANYTHING I say. I end up screaming ALL day at her, and then feel like I want to runaway, or sit down and cry.
Vin has been working a lot. It's great money, but it is so stressful on him. This week he's worked at least 60-65 hours. It's stress on us both, because that means I am home alone all day with a 4 year old that has the worst attitude I have ever ever seen, and he is working lifting 95 lb bricks for 12 hours a day.
Okay. enough complaining. We are going to my little sisters birthday party soon. I am soo psyched. I hope I don't forget her present. I always forget something when we go somewhere. Regardless of what I do to remember it. haha.
Tomorrow Jami, Thane and Rowan are coming over, and so is my family! I am so excited!! I am making sweet and sour chicken. YAY! I am kinda stressing about how much chicken to make tho. Ha. (I got my Ha's from Jami. haha. I pick up everything from everyone. haha) a bag is good for us and my family, and we are going to have the goldberg's and my (wonderful) sister in law. Heh. so I don't know if I should make two bags. But we are going to be having rice and stuff with it (I have to remember to stop at the store and get rice, cornstarch, and pineapples.) so Idk. I am trying to remember how much I made last time when I made it. It was when Laurie was alive and I made it for them and my parents.
I just discovered that Jami's grandmother is Joan from the town hall. How funny. I loved her when I was younger. My dad used to go there to fix their computers and set up new systems and stuff for them in his spare time (not that he had much). haha. I would go with him to keep him company and I loved Joan. She was so nice!! Well, she still is, I imagine. haha.
So. I guess Vin will be out soon, so we will be going to the mall to get him new clothes. He's lost a LOT of weight and needs some shorts that fit him. Obviously. To bad I have the opposite problem. I have gained like 15 lbs and none of my freakin' clothes fit. But I am to cheap to buy new ones and I am convinced that I WILL lose it. If not solely for the sake of not having to buy new clothes. haha.
Whew. Jami just made me feel better knowing that I am not the only one who feels like a bad mommy after the children are crazy psychotic ppl and I want to just leave. Gosh. I now know why mommies go nuts and end up in the looney bin.
well. I am going to go finish getting ready and wrap Karina's present (yeah no time like the present. haha) altho I will prolly end up throwing it in a gift bag. lol. Till Tomorrow.... <3
