So this has been a rather filling week.
We've had the kids starting Monday after school. There mother is out on a little vacation with her boyfriend, she must be having a blast.
So I have been taking care of them, making sure they have their homework done, checking it, signing it, waking them up in the morning, giving them breakfast and making sure they get ready on time. We go and pick them up after I get get home from work and then come home and I make dinner. We've been having an early dinner due to the fact that Lance goes to sleep early and the kids like to eat with him..as do I.
Then I have to make sure I get all the laundry done and dishes washed. Have one of them shower before bed, get them to bed. After they are out, I let the dog roam free till around 12:30am. Make sure she eats and goes potty before I put her back in the kennel. Since the kids have to be ready around the same time I usually get ready I have to wake up like an hour earlier than usual to get myself ready before they even wake up.
i have to admit that when I found out I might be getting the kids all week I was apprehensive about it, I thought I wouldn't be able to do it. But gosh darn it, I Love It. I mean, because I have to make sure everything is ready for them I gives me the motivation I need to do laundry and cook and wash dishes and actually have breakfast in the morning....I don't know but it's like I have a purpose, and when I feel like the purpose is worth time I set my mond to it and I try super hard to do the best I can at it. I can really see myself doing this on a daily basis, the only problem is their mother not giving them up. That B****!
i will admit that I am super exhausted today, but mainly because I kept waking up all night, the cat kept being in my way everytime I would go to move and I'd wake up and be what the hey, what is in my way...Oh, it's Cleo. I swear that cat is crazy!
I Love doing this, I really do. I know it's not he right reason, but sometimes I feel like if I had my own kid, I wouldn't have to deal with unfit mothers or ex spouses. Like I'd be the mother and I would raise the child the way I wanted. It's just hard sometimes because there are those times that you feel like maybe you won't impact their lives to the extent you would like. And at times it's frustrating. She is such a C****!
okay, that's enough of my rambles, I have to go check the dryer ;-)
