Oh man my kids were supposed to be out of town and we'd do something for Mother's Day latter but they came home early, wanted to see me today. And the place was trashed because it's my time off right? Nope had to get up and throw myself into house work because I don't want my grandson crawling around in the mess. Well what am I supposed to say to my children – Oh what an awful surprise. That I don't want to see them because because it's Mother's Day? They woke me up after only a couple of hours of sleep and they have other places to go today.
I tried to let them off the hook – Oh you guys do enough for me already and I'm sure you're tired from your trip and what about her mom and your stepmom and I'm sure you're busy, besides you already helped me with my credit card some as an early Mother's Day gift... blah, blah, blah. My son said said no the money was just because, the TV thing he brought over for the television was for Mother's Day, but they still wanted to see me and have lunch together. They'd be here in 1/2 an hour.
So I jumped out of bed, raced around swept, vacuumed, mopped, washed dishes, tidied up, did a prison bath, brushed my teeth, tied a bandanna around my head, made coffee, and now they just called to say they were running behind and they'd be maybe oh a half hour ½ hour, 45 minutes late "we're going to order food right now". Oh sometimes I swear I don't need coffee to weather these children I need drugs, hard drugs.
