National Annoy Your Mother Day

Thursday was a     day
It was a difficult day, even with just Monster running around. Mid-morning I became very annoyed with him. Monster was not listening, climbing up on top of things, grabbing things he shouldn’t have, and was noisy in general. I was feeling spacey and disconnected while being angry at the boy. He was tired, even though he slept in a little; according to Husband, he had a bad night. Anyways, I put him down for a nap about 11:30 and I fell asleep about 12:30.

The next thing I know, my phone rings, it was Husband checking on me. I realized right then that Daughter should have been home by then, and I raced downstairs to the door. I was afraid of what I would find, but it turns out that the girl that walks Daughter home just sat there with her patiently, waiting for someone to answer the door. Thank Goodness!! I am going to get her a gift card today (Friday) to reward her for walking Daughter home each day, and the little incident on Thursday.

I didn’t make it to the “Y”, with the nap starting as early as it did. Once Daughter gets home, it is pretty much out the window; I can never get motivated in the evening and feel I have the extra time to make it to the gym. Besides, I think I hurt my knee on Wednesday when I worked with the personal trainer for setting up my fitlinxx. Wednesday afternoon and night my left knee hurt whenever I  put any weight on it, and since I had worked out the four days before this, I figured it was a good day to rest. I supposed I could have taken a bike ride around the neighborhood, but it never popped into my head.

I then watched the Vice Presidential debate, and have decided firmly that I will follow McCain/Palin. The talk on Twitter and Plurk was about 90% about the debate and everyone with an opinion had something negative to say about Palin. It was if they had their mind set before it started, and because of their choice, there was nothing wrong with Biden’s responses, his gestures and policies in general. I read people criticizing her flag pin on her lapel, her voice pitch/tone, they said she rolled her eyes more than once, and other things that didn’t really matter when it came down to the basic stances. I don’t think I heard anything bad about her ideas. The internet is filled with democrats, ones that are firm on their stances, and will destroy anything that doesn’t agree with them. I did not see one single thing talking bad about Biden.

I felt depressed most of the day. The whole Monster ordeal in the morning was accompanied by Daughter literally screaming, singing, dancing, hopping on the furniture, howling at the moon (Monster) and other loud and/or naughty things. She wouldn’t listen, and I was grateful when Husband got home so I could get some relief. I keep having these feelings that I am wasting my life away by staying home with the kids, and not being a productive part of society, or at least accomplishing something worthwhile at home. I am not ready to join the workforce, and fortunately, I collect disability to help out with the missed income. I don’t know what will need to happen before I am comfortable with that step, but the first steps are to complete my studying of ColdFusion and design elements.
