argh.
gosh, mono is frustrating.
i'll be chilling around, doing nothing but "resting," and i'll be like, "well, i feel okay, so i'm going to go to the grocery store/pay a bill/the post office/whatever" and as soon as i do it, i feel like CRAP. i almost threw up in the parking lot of the string bead this morning. i felt fine when i left the house... what the heck. i probably feel so crappy now since i did get/have to babysit this weekend...
the kids were crabbier than ever, arguing, making each other cry, and i wanted to die, but i was told i wasn't allowed to rest, so i had to keep being super active with the kids. so we went to the pool twice, went bowling, went for walks, played many card and board games, and generally did a bunch of "activities" so i feel like shit today since i didn't get enough rest this weekend. on friday night, i woke up at 7 am COVERED in ants. apparantly they have an ant problem on the couch that i sleep on. so the next day i cleaned their their whole living room/dining room, even vacuuming out under the couch cushions, and i poisoned all the ants... so i was completely wiped out, but had to keep doing stuff with the already crabby kids...................but i need the money. and they couldn't find anyone else.
am i the only one who thinks it's unfair being treated that way? i don't even think they looked for anyone else. and when i called to tell the mom that i had mono, she was like, "well, are you going to get my kids sick? because if you do, you won't have a job anymore." i'm thinking, are you crazy, lady? i don't go around licking your kids, but i've never had mono before, and i don't know how it works. i don't even know where i got it from! i hate it when i let other people make me feel bad about situations that aren't my fault. i didn't WANT to get mono.
puh-lease.
still, i don't like it when they treat me like that. when i came on friday morning, the mom gave me this list of expectations and new rules, "well... if you get my kids sick, you'll lose your job. if you lay around, you'll lose your job. you're not allowed to be letargic, and you have to keep the kids really active."
those kids aren't really active in the first place, but it really killed me this weekend, since i did more than i usually did to keep them "active," and of course they were crabby that i didn't just let them lay around on the internet or on their videogames or anything.
as a result of the crazy weekend, my mom grounded me to the house tonight, and asked my grandparents (next door) to babysit me and make sure i don't leave. where would i go? walmart, maybe... i've had a craving to watch dirty dancing (the original, of course) and we only have it on a VHS that was recorded from TV (seriously in 1990), and I want to buy the DVD. never mind that i've lost my main source of income since it's not healthy to be serving ice cream to customers when you are contagious. argh.
i better have more energy by saturday for kari's wedding. i'm excited to go! i want to see everyone and dance! yay! and see love blossoming... ahh. i love weddings.
p.s. since i don't have to work at the tasty treat this week, brian is coming to visit! he's coming tonight, and is staying until wednesday night. i'm SO EXCITED. i love that man so much. we're perfect together!!
p.p.s. does anyone in wausau want to take me to coldstone sometime soon? i really want to go, all of a sudden, and my mom doesn't want me driving, in case we get in an accident and the steering wheel goes through my enlarged spleen. sounds far fetched to me too, but she's my mom :)
