Mother

I am not like my mother.
I am not like my mother.
I am not like my mother.
Oh and some days I am JUST like my mother.

She has events. A party today. Work tomorrow. Oh it's just too much for her. She just can't do too much in one day or one weekend the recliner might get up and wonder off. It's not that she's lazy she just doesnt want to be too busy.

So she has a party today. Work tomorrow and Dom and Derek are going camping. No sibs. Joseph and I are on our own. I said "Well you should have us over for dinner" and then it started "Well I dont know I think we're having left overs" blah blah "I wont be that hungry from the party" blah blah "I have to work tomorrow" I want to pull my hair out.
So now I dont want to go over at all.
We were invited to a party next weekend. I made the mistake of getting excited about it. But we have no babysitter. She said "Well I could watch them I guess, but I'll have them the weekend after that too" yes I am so sorry. Never mind forget I asked.
Of the 12 years we have been married Dom and I have gone out to dinner with no kids actual fun evening 7 times. That's it. And we have never left them overnight.

sigh.
I know our time is coming I just hope we remember who we are when it happens.

In other news we went and saw the high school be tore down. It was sort of sad. The boys dug it. Derek said "you might not take us any fancy vacations or anything but you take us to these things and that's pretty cool" wow well thank you very much.
