When It Rains, It Pours.

My boyfriend is out of town this week for a funeral. I feel for him and his loved ones.

My mom and sister-in-law also went to a funeral today, but I was unable to go as I was watching all the kids while they went. The man who died was a family friend, someone I've known for 15 years. I feel for his family and loved ones left behind.

Someone else is going to die, as things like that always come in threes - pregnancies, weddings, funerals, births, etc. Who else will leave us all behind?

Watching the kids today was a HUGE exercise in patience for me! My daughter was bossy, my older nephew was loud, and my younger nephew was defiant and disrespectful. A ceramic piggy bank got broken, a book got torn, and faces got spit in. "Time-out" was a recurring theme of today. Priviledges were revoked, voices were raised, and stress limits were breached. What made me ever think that I wanted a lot of kids? My two are MORE than enough, three or four would be complete insanity!

I am very much looking forward to my child-free night tonight. My son is going to his Granny's and my daughter is going to her Grandma's, and I am going to my boyfriend's house. I'll be there when he gets home tonight.

Gotto go do things now.
