THIS IS A RANT FROM MY BELOVED AND ONLY BROTHER... positive vibes and happy thoughts his way would be so muchly appreciated!!!
Holy Shite balls batman! ...
I have no idea where to start on this one. To simply say that things have definitely not gone my way would probably be the understatement of the year. Well we will start with my new babysitting situation, My babysitter can no longer watch Ian during the day so that means when I get off work I have to pick him up. That means somewhere during the day I have to get enough sleep to be able to function at work that night. So far my record is 3 hours of broken sleep during my work week. I have to get up and find out what disaster Ian got into while I cat napped for 20 minutes, anything from using the toothpaste as finger paint in the bathroom to taking all of his clothes in his dresser and strewing them about in the house. Its not always bad he will usually nap with me for an hour maybe at max 2 if I can con him into it, but those first few hours in the morning just suck.
To make matters even more fun, work has been sucking hard too. The powers that be have instituted more steps to do during our dispatches, as if what we are doing isnt stressful enough to begin with. Combine this with my new sleep schedule and you get a fun filled evening of me being pinballed in some sadistic machine at a chuck e cheese with 10 birthdays going on. Not to mention that my boss, who being the uptight, holier than thou, pansy thinks that all these ideas are great..but of course he doesnt have to do them, and he has no clue what we have to deal with. A pox be upon him.
Its not all bad, though some days it does feel like it, Ian finally went potty in the toilet. He has done it once and once only so far but its better than where we were at. I figure if I just keep beating my head on that particular wall I'll succeed or give myself a tumour and someone else can deal with it..win win situation lol.
Today I took Ian to Fathoms of Fun, a yearly fair thing. This year they decided not to have any rides .. so its kind of sucked. Ian did get his first horse ride and some time throwing rocks into the ocean, playing on the playground, and some time in a bouncy house so it wasnt a total loss but nowhere near the fun I wanted him to have.
This new schedule of mine has massively limited my time for anything other than trying to get some sleep, housework, and being daddy. So if you all have any prayers/good vibes you can send my way that helps me find a cheap and understanding babysitter you would have my undying gratitude.
