omg. i must surely die.
i am soooooooooooooooooo behind on blogging, not that anyone would notice because i sure don't. i am stupidly busy at work thanks to my big mouth in these teambuilding things we have where i get brilliant ideas and then my boss goes "make it so". so i am compiling a database of writing samples and tracking fax logs and scanning invoices and and and. all this and claims too, what more can a girl ask for, i want to know?
how about a son and daughter who team up to forge my signature? on two different notes home from the teacher? sigh. i did all the christmas shopping for them yesterday and i was high as a kite about the cool shit i got them, then they go and pull a stunt like this. i let them have it good tonight (like usual). brought the girl to tears, but with the boy everything i say winds up in /dev/null...
while scouring his room for the notes in question (which did disappear utterly), i found a test score of 77% and one of 40%(!!!!!) both of which he did not study for. i find it fucking ridiculous that i have to be UP THE ASS of a 12 year old kid about his homework!!!!! should i not be able to just glance over his assignment pad and check that he has the right number of papers done???
i am so frustrated with him that i don't know what to do anymore. i love him so much yet i know exactly where he is going and how to get there because i used to fucking live there when i was a teenager. it's a place called everyone-owes-me-and-i-am-selfishly-lazy, and it is really hard to leave once you are there. everyone keeps inviting you to have one more round of be-an-asshole-to-your-parents and you think, what the hell, make it a double. i have no place to be anyway...
he got invited to sit for an entrance exam to this gifted/talented school in the city based on his standardized test scores from last year. i almost fell over and then i was so proud. however. they will most definitely not tolerate this bullshit from him. nor will i send on a bus into the big bad city which gives ME panic attacks a flip little bugger who can't be trusted to walk the dog up and down the street alone. FUCK.
also i miss people. i have really no time to talk to anyone except d. and i am sure he gets bored of me. at least we have the NFL to guarantee us quality time together screaming at the TV (his team lost in OT yesterday and he is hilarious while watching football).
pretty much here is what i did today:
got up after 3 snooze alarms
got kids dressed for school
showered
took girls to school, gave boy lunch money
(all this without waking d. and baby)
worked 9 hour day with no lunch (and didn't even ask for OT)
bought smokes
talked to my mother for about 30 min. about christmas crap
changed clothes
lecture/discipline for boy and girl (this took a long time)
changed atomic diaper and bathed baby accordingly
did homework with one of the girls
got kids ready for bed
paid bills
tucked kids in
sorted medical bills
cleaned kitchen
2 loads of laundry
blogged about what i did today
that is what went on from 6:30 a.m. to 1:09 a.m.
and now i am for bed, and bed is for me.
PS: i did not much like the new potter movie but felt obligated to take the kids anyway. new dumbledore is good but not of the caliber he used to be as a character. can't remember if that was a rowling thing in the book or creative license with the movie... too bored with series to go read it again and find out.

That sounds like my days minus the paying job. I have been physically and mentally exhausted. I have not experienced a 2 year old 24/7 before so it will take some getting used to. I do plan to return your phone call if I can ever get my shit together. Promise!
