Today was a long ass day. A long ass stressful day. My son has learned to get into things when I'm distracted by trying to feed Lily. It's like fighting a losing battle and it's driving me crazy. I just need to learn how to go about that and keep him in line at the same time.
He got into anything and everything he could today. I realize it's just a phase, but god does he test my patience when he pulls this stunt. I really do appreciate the fact I can have one beer on days like this. I had both children crying at me not that long ago.
Not only that, but Greg's bass ackward family just bugs the hell out of me. They're used to the "men" taking care of things as Greg told me. Which explains why they don't know how to interact with me sometimes because I'm a lot more hands on. If something needs to be done I do it myself. >_<; They're so 1950's it hurts.
Greg tested out of Writing today. Which means that he'll be able to sign up for classes this fall. It'll be hard on us for a while, but it will be worth it in the long run. He's working two jobs right now and we still have a hard time making ends meet. That's not right.
His mom's attitude toward the whole thing was that he should just work harder. Like him working two jobs isn't hard enough. Never mind the fact that he works some weekends. She even had the gall to tell him that he should put off schooling for at least a year because of Lily. I'm like you're supposed to be supportive of what your kids do not tear them down. He's trying to better himself for the love of god. Not a lot of men are willing to admit that. He told me about that and all I could say was "your mother" repeatedly. This being the same woman who told me that spending my tax refund on the baby was being "wasteful". I ended up spending it on other things, but still. How would that be "wasteful"? I can think of a whole bunch of things that would be honestly wasteful if I had used my money on that instead. Like video games, movies, or toys...whatever woman who is in the process of making two of my nieces into alcoholics. It's bad enough one of them is already an emotional eater. >_<; Please tell me I'm not the only one with the crazy fucking judgmental MIL?
