Head desk ow
I have decided that the universe is out to get me. I've been trying to work on a story for a few days now. Every single time I sit down to work on it, something comes up to stop me. Either the kids start fighting, or begging me to use the computer, or the phone rings, or someone at work decides that they absolutely must interrupt my lunch break to tell me about their weekend with their s/o. Needless to say I'm about to lose my everloving mind. I'm trying to figure out how to get some alone time, and I'm coming up with nothing. How do you get an 11 year old and an almost 4 year old to get along so mommy doesn't have a mental break?
Equally, how do you get an 11 year old to pretend he cares about something other than his precious computer so we can celebrate his birthday?
I wanted to take him to the water park and to a museum, but he's telling me that he hates water parks (the last time we took him to one he was 4 and went under the water unprepared and has been afraid of drowning ever since). However, he hasn't come up with anything else to do.
You know it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't feel like I was dealing with children at work too. Every day it's like I'm playing mommy at both places.
