Monday - early

Lmao

I get up, barely, lol, dragged my @$$ out of bed, got in the shower, etc.  I come out of my room to get a coffee cup and hear yelling on the other side of the house. Oh boyyyy, here we go! Monday morning!  I make my cuppa and then they all come out. 2 boys and mama.  The youngest took 20 minutes to drag his butt out of bed and mama wasn't happy, it was time to leave.  School busses don't wait, if you aren't there, they leave without you. He had lost his shoes, mom had finally found them. He didn't want to go to school.

So this boy sits down on a large recliner in the living room, picks up his other shoe - one is on his foot, one is in his hands, and starts playing with it. It took her having to go get a belt before he would finally even do anything. She didn't whip him, btw, it was just a motivational tool, lol.

Mama goes into the kitchen for the milk she's been pumping for the baby - if you follow this blog you know what I'm talking about, if you don't, oh well, she's a surrogate mother helping the new parents out with pumping milk instead of having the baby have to consume formula.

While she's in the kitchen, this boy got the shoe on and then engaged in the most magnificent stomping act I've ever seen in my entire life!  You know, when little kids get mad they stomp their foot? Oh nooo, that's not what happened here. This boy stomped his entire body! Arms flailing around, screaming, crying, I've never seen anything like it.  It's youtube gold, I wish I would have had a camera on that event.  That kind of video would go viral in a minute lmao.  

The older boy was standing at the door, motionless, silent, with a look of terror in his eyes.  He doesn't like when mom gets that angry.  The younger brother wasn't listening, was having a hissy fit and she wasn't having it. I said bye to the oldest as they started to leave, this little squeaking noise came out of his mouth, byyyeee.  

That woke me right up! I''m ready for the driving day! LMAO!! The funny part about this? They've been off on Thanksgiving break for what, 9 days now which includes 2 weekends? They've been getting up early almost every single day without anyone prodding them.  I know what it is, too. That little boy is coddled by grandma.  She spoils the hell out of those kids and it shows when she leaves. Life goes back to normal, thank God Almighty, but the kids? Well, the youngest anyway, the older one not so much, he can't deal with it.  

I really think her visits here should be limited to a few days at most.  But, I just live here, it's not my call.  I would tell her in a minute. She tried to chastise me out yesterday. The oldest had left stuff on the couch so she, grandma, got onto his case about it.  Especially leaving the Switch (game, Nintendo) on the couch that is black, matches the couch color and anyone could miss it, sit right down on top of it and smash the thing. Those things are $350.

After she got done with that, I actually agreed with her on that one and told the boy you did the same thing yesterday leaving that game when you got up to go to the kitchen. That game is going to get smashed and you aren't going to have a Switch anymore (I pitched in half the money to pay for the damned thing a few years ago plus bought games for it).  

Well, she overhears me, steps into the room and attempts to tell me how things should go! Lmao, wrong person, gong!  You sure as HELL aren't coming into MY room to attempt to talk to me like I'm one of the kids! I talked right of the top of her and set her straight.  I don't do that often, but it was definitely warranted at that point in time.

Anyway, a trip to the washout, to the plant and back up, if I'm lucky, I'll be back at the park around 1:00 pm. If I'm not lucky, who knows?!! I'm still laughing about that boy's stomping act, it was really a sight to see.  I was laughing even harder because, of course, no one else found it funny lmao.  

Anyway, those kids are on their way to school, they get free breakfast which is usually pretty good (at least by their accounting of it ) and so maybe they'll get into better moods. I don't know, but they are gone and I don't have to deal with it. I have other things to deal with and that's enough for me!  

Time to get out of here!

G'day : )
