next friday is my last day working here...this week's been going pretty quickly, so let's hope next week does too. Last week, one of my favorite mice, Carbon, died. I was pretty devestated, because i didn't see it coming. And now, Persephone has a tumor. Ugh. I realize they're mice, they don't live forever, but..i went a whole year with only 2 deaths, and now in 2 weeks i've had 2 deaths, and a third who i guess i might have to put to sleep. I can't even look at Persephone. She's still running all over and climbing up to me whenever i talk to her, so it's really hard to think about putting her to sleep. But i don't want her to feel any pain either. This probably sounds crazy to people who have never had mice or small animals as a pet, but when you care for these tiny little things from the time they're babies, it's so hard to watch them get older & suffer.
and because of this insane job, i've had no time to myself this week. I've been working 10-12 hours every day, and it's so draining. I try to stay out as much as i can to make the days go by faster, but he is just so bad..i hate bringing him places. Especially because he always calls me Mommy, and i don't want people thinking that this monsterous devil child belongs to me. Yesterday we went to Giggles in rockaway (kind of like chuck e cheese), and all the other children kept yelling at Jayden to take turns and wait in line, but he really doesn't care about anybody else. This little monster is just proof that people who have little "oops" pregnancies should not keep their children. Seriously. It just bothers me that there is really no intention of controlling him..and there will never be another child in his family to actually teach this kid how to share or show him that he isn't ruling the universe. Yeah, i'm in one of those moods.
