I started my day the usual way... yanking my daughter out of bed to get ready for school. She fights e to the very last second~I swear, she wants me to start drinking. I can be one of those stay-at-home mom's who hit the bottle the second the kids are out the door. I had a friend, who is a grandmother tell me that I should try to gently wake her up: In a sweet sing-song voice; "Kaaatherine...sweetheart...it's time to get up and get ready for schooooool!" I basically burst out laughing in my friend's face... "Seriously? Do you KNOW my daughter?!" There is a reason why I call her "The Beast" This is the scene:
Me: (In a nice, calm voice) "Katherine.....time to get up."
Katherine: "SHHHHHHH!!!!"
Me: (Still being calm) "Please don't 'Shhhh' me...you need to get up, or we'll be late."
Katherine:"SHHHHHHH!!!
Me: (getting extremely annoyed) "Okay - here are you're clothes...hurry up and get dressed and come downstairs!"
After about five minutes, I yell upstairs: "KATHERINE!! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!!"
The whole interaction continues until we leave the house...late!!!
Meanwhile... I'm stressed about other things in my life. Such as my job search. (siiiiiigh)
I submitted my application to Hannaford grocery store this morning. I just have this strong suspicion, they aren't in need of anyone right now. The woman who is the Manager (?) mentioned on the phone the other day that weekends were "a deal-breaker". Which is code for..."Sorry Sista - ain't happening!"
Needless to say it has put me "IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION..AHHA HAAAAAA!!!"
Anyway... I'm not sure if I should just wait for a definite "think not" or move on.
In the meantime...my laundry pile is growing into this huge beast which is going to overtake my house...now...where did I hide my hooch?
