O/T Ish I made a fart joke-I've got to be kidding me....

So without offering TMI-SO made a suggestion to me last week for us to spend some couple-y time together. You know, something that deviates from the typical exausted gazes across the speghetti strewn table, created by the Self-Proclaimed Spaghetti Princess who wields marinara sauce like Elsa wields Ice. Or the long, awkward-not-meant-to-be-cuddles-but-there-is-nowhere-else-to-sit on top of the heap of laundry I think the couch may be made of.

OT: whineeeeee

I am exhausted. December is frozen hell at my job-but it's nice sometimes. Today it was busy busy on the road for 9 hours.

I want a warm cup of coffee. I want the remote. But I don't want to move even more. SO just tucked kids in and killed a spider. Don't think he'll make me a cup of java and gett new remote that's literally at the other end of the sectional.

Sad

The Grinch that stole SS's Christmas-or just didn't care enough.

She's been in and out for the last 9 months but even on Christmas she cant help but blow her kids off.

We have asked her numerous times to stop making plans and promises to SS11 if she can't keep them. Even her sister has told her to stop. In fact her sister screen shotted texts between them where she tells BM that she either needs to be in her kids lives on a regular basis or she needs to leave them alone and sent them to SO and I.

I don't care! My kid just puked all over me!

So SO went to drop CS off with BM2 who is really starting to get on my last nerve lately.

It's no secret I'm a social worker. December in this feild has been described as riding a bike. Except the ground is on fire, the bike is on fire and you're on fire because you're in holiday hell. I have worked well over 60 hours this week. Which has left SO and my mother both rather reluctantly helping me with the kids.

Update to that time last week when I lost my mind....

So it's been about a week since I felt like I was on the brink of serious mental breakdown. I had my moment (which incidentally lasted a few days) but I put my big girl panties on and handled it. Thank you guys for all of your support-I really needed some grounding and as always, ya'll delivered.

I tried to talk to SO about it last week and I would have gotten further with the wall. I sat my not-so-happy bum on the couch for the better part of 3 days doing only what was necessary to keep my 2 year old clean and safe from her crazy self. This was my mini-strike.

O/T How do you get into the spirit?

This morning I did my holiday basket delivery for work. In years past I'd take an old client of mine with me to drop them off but this year he couldn't come. He did however send me this year's playlist so he could be with me "in spirit" in his words.

As always, Larry the Cable Guy's Redneck Christmas song was first on the line up (he knows it makes me laugh) and is generally followed by hours of ungodly Celtic music that I hate. But I listened to the whole thing anyway because-you know.

What usually gets you in the mood to celebrate whatever holidays you celebrate?

Uh.....what?

I received this message at 5:32am:

"You're the best was just cruising Facebook and reading your page I feel so responsible for most of your exhaustion but want you to know how thankful I am for you [mommadukes] you're the best"

I posted something to the effect of "I am woman hear me snore"

I've had bronchitis, strep, two sick kids, moved, SO got laid off and then found a job, had family drama (Spaghetti Land aftermath) and work all in the same week. I whined all over Facebook about how miserably sick I was.

Kids In Bars.....

Yes you read that right.

BM took and by took I mean we dropped off with clear ideas as to where SS would be and who he would be with the whole weekend-at BM's uncle's with BM where BM is now habitating after ex gave her the boot for getting a DWI driving his car.

And we're out

We officially out of Spagehtti Land!!!!

We have worked day and night these past 3 weeks to make sure this happened and to make sure the house was safe for the kids. She's not done yet-but

Spag-gal is FREE!

Oh and apparently BM got a DWI.

La la la whatever.
