Well, another day at work begins. I'll recap my lovely 'weekend'. Monday morning was a typical bad morning in my house. Just like most others. Slamming doors, screaming, crying, yelling. Not to mention what the girls do! No, I'm just kidding. I try to remain as calm as possible, I'm not the one crying and slamming doors. After school wasn't much better. Tuesday was a repeat of Monday.
On Monday though, when I got home from my twelve hour shift, I turned on the kitchen light to see the gallon of milk still sitting there! Needless to say, I kinda flipped out. But they were home. So, I went into their room, and gutted it. Very therapeutic, and very necessary. It was overrun with crap. Then I took my short nap, since I was supposed to have a meeting with HR about my insurance. I had to walk up to the office. All went well, and I even got my new work boots! Even though the size of them is extremely depressing. When the girls got home, I impatiently waited for them to go into their room, where it was clean. Chayse finally went in, and screamed "Mom! What did you do with all our stuff?!?!?!" To which Riley said, "What is she talking about?" and walked in there to see for herself. To their horror and dismay, nothing was left except uniforms and beds. I told them that I threw everything away, and that the garbage man had already come that day. I really only threw away the garbage, a bag and a half worth! The rest went into my closet. The yelling and blaming went on with slamming doors for about a half hour. They stepped up, for one night. Now, amazingly, their room is a mess again, and they don't have anything in it! I really don't understand this.
Tuesday morning was rough, again. So I walked to the beach. It was a BEAUTIFUL day. The soft, white bubbles were floating over the glittery sand. Warm sun shining on my face. I don't get to see the sun much, so it was extra nice. Even butterflies were flying over the water! It was peaceful and quiet. On my way home I stopped off for an ice cream bar and a Coke. Both of which I hardly ever splurge on. So my near perfect day cost me $2 and a few miles on the beach. Then the girls came home......
Our lists are absolutely not working any longer. They did their chores better when they weren't reminded with a list! The laundry finally got done, because I threatened to throw away Riley's pants if she tried to wear them again before washing them. She told me that she washed them last month, so she didn't know why she had to wash them again. I do their laundry sometimes, if it's brought out. I don't expect them to do it ALL. But those uniform pants never made it to the washer. They're done now! The dishwasher is still clean, and full. It's never-ending. If the cats didn't sit at the door and meow for their food, they probably wouldn't get any either! (I would feed them, but they would have to wait until the bus comes, and they REALLY don't like to wait!) Don't know what to do anymore.....
Today, I finally made it to the grocery store. You have no idea how good real food tastes! I had to call a cab, which was a new experience for me. Very expensive, but so worth the food! After I spent almost two hours getting everything after a month of no groceries, it took me almost an hour to unpack it all! I thought I had done great shopping. I spent $147 and my cart was overflowing, and the cashier had to bring out two bags that wouldn't fit. But after I sat down and looked over my receipt, I saw that MOST of my items hadn't rung up properly. It appears that she didn't scan my store card, so I should have saved an extra $30-$40! That's a lot of money, and I called the store manager. I'm going back tomorrow to get my money back. But I'm not calling a cab this time!
Oh, and as far as my date went on Monday, it didn't happen. So much for loser guys!
