Another day in tears

Okay so today was not that great of a day for me.  It started out by me questioning what I got myself into with the geocache event Alex & I were planning at church.  Or so I thought it was Alex and I planning but I've pretty much done everything for it. And it's not done as much as I would like it to be so I've been stressing over it.  I'm a person who has to have stuff done well in advance procrastination is my enemy and I like to keep it far away.

Today we had Emali's conference but it was not with her teacher, it wound up being with her switch teacher because her teacher had the flu.  (great just want I want her to bring home from school to me)  And we got to express our concerns of the year so far but there wasn't really any feedback for us because she's not Emali's teacher other than for one subject.  So that was a waste.

Then tonight I'm not sure what happened as I was trying to get stuff for Saturday done and Kiefer came to me crying because his sister had bit him - she's done this way too much - and so I looked and yup sure enough there was a mark on his arm.  I then confronted her asked her why she bit her brother and she said he was bothering her and continued to say yes I know I shouldn't have bit him I should have used words.  When she first started biting him I made her bite a bar of soap only took once to realize she's weird and liked to eat soap.  So unfortunately she feels it's her only defense against him but doesn't realize how bad it hurts.

Then they were playing together like nothing ever happened - kids are so forgiving!  Alex finally got home from the church and was helping Emali with her homework and Kiefer was in my craft room with me, he found a label maker and asked if he could have it I told him no so the next thing I know he's telling me I need to learn to love him. That sent me over the edge, I completely lost it because that was just icing on the cake that Alex had already made earlier (figuratively).

The rest of the cake was he now has to go to a conference thing Saturday morning may not make it back before the geocache event is suppose to start oh and is taking the car so I won't be able to go anywhere.  He asked me if I was going to go anywhere, I said nope I have no life.  The good thing is I know there is one person that I can call if I needed to go somewhere and she'd help me out if she's not busy. (there are actually a couple that probably would).  But that was only the first layer of the cake - it wound up being a double decker cake by the time the day was done (well almost done).  The second layer of the cake was when he told me that tomorrow he has to go to the hospital and visit someone I realize this is going to happen because of the profession he's going into but we have to set up for the geocache event and with not having a car Saturday we have to make sure we get it done.  He told me I could go with him, okay going and sitting in a car for however long while he's in the hospital does not sound fun to me. I hate hospitals they are the creepiest places other than a funeral home which I will not step foot in.  So tomorrow should be interesting to say the least.

Oh wait there is a little more.  Apparently we have tickets to go to a movie and dinner on Sunday which does not thrill me at all because I don't think there's anyway of getting out of it.  The only movie that is out that we can see as a family right now is Megamind which looks ridiculously stupid and I really don't like movie theaters - they are way too loud and overpriced (even if we don't have to pay for the tickets).

So yeah it's been a pretty crappy week and I just keep putting on my happy face and pretending everything is fine.  I've become a pro at that.
