OMG It’s FRIDAY
I think in all of the mayhem of today I forgot it was Friday until i settled down to write this…
It started like this: I rolled outta bed (quite literally, might I add) around 10, because some moron who I don’t even know decided to call my phone. So when my phone rang, I was so startled i rolled off the bed, hit my head on the bedside table and knew it was going to be a long day. First thought that came to my mind as i groggily sat on the floor massaging my noggin was something along the lines of: Why haven’t the kids gotten me up yet? Where are the kids? HOW IS IT ALREADY TEN AM?! So I get up off the floor, walk over to the door, open it and poke my head out. First thing i hear: silence. Yes, you read right SILENCE. I walk across the hall and poke my head in their room. Their not in there. So they must be downstairs. I walk downstairs, half expecting to hear some bickering of some sort. But I look in the living room and Goat 2 is asleep on the floor whilst Goat 1 is watching a cartoon of some sort. I ask Goat 1 how long he’s been up and he tells me he’s only been up for a few minutes now and Goat 2 just fell back asleep.
When Lunch rolled around, all hell broke loose. I discovered that the phones didn’t work when my aunt tried calling, so she emailed me while I was trying to make the kids lunch. Speaking of the kids, they decided, during this of all times, they wanted to act like GOATS. Bleating. Seriously. Yes, i know they were hungry. Yes, she wanted juice even though she asked for icy water. Yes, Goat 1 wanted chocolate milk with lunch, unfortunately there is no milk to be had. Yes, juice is okay, but oh. He didn’t like juice. How did i handle this hell? Simple, I calmly told Goat 1 he could have water since he didn’t like the juice. Kindly asked Goat 2 to finish her juice before I got her water, all while making them Mac & Cheese. Didn’t personally get anything until after everything was settled, but I opted for a smoothie anyways, sipping it tensly as i TRIED to keep calm (Now i know what my aunt feels like….). By the time this was all said and done with it was 1 pm…
Yes, 1pm and I was in SERIOUS need of me time to CALM DOWN. Now of course, I got MY time. And I felt so much better. But of course, the day wasn’t going to go criseslessly (Not a real word, deal with it), nope. So, my aunt suggested a walk, rather, she told me to put the computer down (me being on a laptop at the point she told me to) and take the kids for a walk. Goat 1 SERIOUSLY. DID. NOT. LIKE. THIS! Like it was a miniature meltdown, which included him telling me he hates me and hates walks because & i quote, “they are boring and there are bees!!!!” Alrighty. I gave him maybe 5 minutes to calm down before i walked in his room (after emailing his mom and asking her what to do [seeing as i do not know how to deal with meltdowns]) and calmly told him that his mom said that it was not his choice. Well, he finally gets up and goes downstairs whilst I’m getting Goat 2 & myself ready up here. So as I’m helping Goat 2 into a pair of jeans, Goat 1 comes upstairs, still not too happy with me and says he can’t find his shoes. Seriously? No shoes to be found? I ended up looking EVERYWHERE i could think to find shoes. Didn’t find any matches. AT ALL. Not too happy. So this time, called his mom, she said that we didn’t have to go for a walk (BUT I REALLY WANTED TO!!!!!!). So, the Goats settled down in the livingroom, TV still off.
It’s now 3 (yes, that whole ordeal took an hour!!) And they’re hungry. So I bossily got ordered to make two sandwhiches (one for each of them). Was not too happy. They ate in silence. Goat 1 asked when I could turn the TV back on. I looked at my phone. 3:15, Nope. Not until 3:30.
3:30 pm: Nice thankful. They got complete free time, and i escaped up to my room, they were both very happy. Ike settled in on the computer, looking up various things Marvel related, Bennet watched Veggie Tales (and here i thought i was escaping Veggie Tales… damn.) and i wrote. i’m a writer. In order to stay completely and totally SANE I write. And it was nice and like this for 2 hours of nice, off my feet, just writing. With the occasional “may i have…”
5:30 rolled around and I shot outta that door like a jackrabbit on fire. I desperately longed to get out. To explore this place I’m calling home for the next Month. So i headed down and explored around the park. On the phone the whole time. Some of the time with my sister, some of the time with my dad, but other times with my friends who i haven’t talked to in a while. Very nice. And that’s where I am now. I just got back. Slung my cargo pants over the door to the cabinet and my room and i’m just hanging out, enjoying Friday.
To cap it all off, I really think I might just settle in Tonight and TRY to watch the third disc of House…again (because nope, I still haven’t been able to sit through it yet). But of course, this’ll happen AFTER I take a nice hot shower and get into some clean PJs.
