I overdid it! I feel like spit! Plenty of contractions, my back's killing me, I'm nauseated and have a headache to top it all off!! Darn it! and I still haven't gotten everything accomplished. I did lay down and fall asleep for *drumroll* a whole HOUR!!
I am so frustrated with Andrew right now...And I can vent here since he doesn't know how to use the computer...Last time I journaled in a notebook, he found it and read it thinking it was a love letter to him. I was so offended!
Well, more on that later--Tyler's not happy right now and Andrew is running in and out. I guess my 'breaktime' is over....sigh
Now I'm back, but who knows for how long....Anyhow I am so frustrated still. Last Friday I found out that I only had one brake light on the van (the one on the top of the hatch!, the other two are not working). So I went and bought some lightbulbs and asked him to replace them. Finally Sunday he started to work on it...Was out there for nearly an hour. I figured ok, they're fixed and didn't think anything of it, since he didn't say anything....
Yesterday I was backing out of a spot and realized that I didn't have any brake lights...Ends up that he didn't replace the bulbs...He opened up the lens and 'looked at the bulb' that was already in there. Since it didn't 'look' bad (not blackened or melted), he put everything back together without replacing the bulbs...Why did I have to find that out now? What would he have done if I had gotten rear-ended and ended up getting a ticket? I would've been HOT!! Do you think he's done anything to fix it yet? Nope! Guess it's up to me to strap Tyler into the van while he's at work tomorrow and do it myself...Geeze!
Then last night Holly and I were trying to work on Harley's homework with him. Now Harley's got ADHD in addition to the autism. So what's Andrew do? He pulls out
his mini remote controlled helicopter and starts flying it around the living room (yes, he still has LOTS of toys for a boy his age!!) I had to yell at him as if he were one of the children and explain to him why he needed to stop playing with his toys right then. It took us 5 minutes to get Harley back on task...
I hung new curtains, but used the old rods...Ends up the curtains are an inch longer than where the rod is currently installed. I asked if he could move them up an inch and I got a lecture on it (since there's still holes in the wall from when the previous people literally ripped down their curtains when they got foreclosed on). Geeze, it would've been a five minute special...why'd he have to turn it into a long ol' discussion? AND the whole time we were discussing it I was running through the house gathering laundry, folding laundry, cleaning the kitchen...He just followed me around and talked .... didn't even offer to help at all!
Then I was trying to tell him of all the things on my mind and all of a sudden out of the blue, he starts in about his robotics hobby and how I should get online to look up some information about a club he heard about...Well, there's plenty of work I want done around here...And I could really care less about his fascination with robots when I have IMPORTANT things on my mind....I wish I had some time to just sit and daydream about the things I want to do!!
Oh, and of course he had to rehash the whole goings on of last night with Harley. He was still upset about it but somehow turned it into me and Harley thinking he's a monster. Umm, it's over and done I really don't need to discuss it again...No one so much as said that but of course he's got it in his head that it was insinuated by me taking over dealing with Harley after he did the take down. I feel like I just can't win!
I know there's more that's frustrating me with him right now...I don't know maybe I'm being unreasonable and hormonal, but I'm just asking for something to get done! I guess I really should be going now...He's working on homework with Harley....
