Well my son is cutting teeth and therefor been in a rather bad mood most of the day.  I'm finding that very frustrating and I'll be glad when he's done with it.  Of course I had to get him to sleep tonight twice...the first time he went to sleep fine then my goddaughter woke him up with her loud voice etc. Of course as soon as I get him into bed and leave him there fast asleep my husband has to call and he's the one that gets angry if I turn the ringer off on the phones in the bedroom so now I've got a baby crying at me and I have to spend the next hour trying to get him to sleep again.  How much do you want to bet when my husband gets home he wakes him up AGAIN!!!

I'm irritated also about this goddaughter of mine.  She wants to come over every day and just "hang out" because she doesn't want to be around her family.  The girl is 20 and will be 21 in just over a month.  Normally I wouldn't mind her coming over but she's starting to act like she owns the place.  First their was the pantry.  She moved something I placed in the pantry, just came up behind me and moved it and then complained that I'd put it in the wrong place.  That's MY pantry I'll put what I want in it however I damn well please! 

She's over for dinner and has started to complain about the time I cook it, or how I cook it.  Tonight she tried to help herself to pizza as if dinner was just expected.  It was old pizza and when I told her it was probably no good she asked if it was the stuff from the other day.  I couldn't believe the attitude she gave me when I informed I don't buy pizza everyday.  I mean really I'm not made of money!  The fact that she will plop herself in the worst places and expect everybody to walk around her, doesn't help out much if at all, has lately wanted to be on my pc chatting with her friends, almost constantly texts someone and then when she does want to engage expects to be the focus of the conversation.

I'm also getting tired of her whining and complaining that nothing is her fault.  She gets bad grades but it's always the teachers fault.  Fights with her family but it's their fault.  I mean it's gotten to be ridiculous.  She even gets pissed at her best friend when he doesn't react the way she wants and when they fight she HAS to be right.  She needs to grow up.

So how is the rest of my life going?  Well I'm still trying to unpack and get this new house organized but it's going SO slowly I often feel like I'm not making much progress.  Hubby is too tired to be of much help until the weekends and often his mood is so foul it's not worth asking him for help.  I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to clean up after him and others which wouldn't bother me if I had everything else taken care of but right now it's just exasperating.  Maybe I'm just expecting WAY too much out of myself...after all I still have to take care of my son who is only 10 months old and clingy as well as trying to organize the house, do the laundry and cleaning and cooking.  I want to achieve perfection but it's beyond me at this point.

    You've got a lot going on if you're unpacking and caring for a teething baby.  As for the goddaughter, you need to lay down some ground rules for your sanity.  That's what she avoiding by hanging out with you.  If she's going to be there she needs to live by your house rules.
     
    Teething is so hard on everyone.  I'm sure you're doing all the normal things to help those sore little gums.  It will eventually stop, but it never seems to be soon enough. :)

    It is very straining for a young  woman to have a new baby and a new home and a man who works a lot. I know that. It is also very straining when the baby is teething and this girl does not exactly help you. Maybe you could tell her in a nice way that somethings could be her fault.

    it's time to put some rules in place about your "goddaughter"-  she's 20 yrs old, and she shouldn't be coming to you every day for dinner-  you've got your own responsibilities to worry about.  why not suggest she stop by once a week?
     
    when your baby's not sleeping, you're not sleeping-  and everything begins to fall apart when you're sleep deprived- 
     
    speak your mind. i'm sure she'll understand....

    You guys are right I should put down some rules.  My husband just wants me to tell her she's not allowed over for a while.  The bad thing about this girl is she throws tantrums....at 20 it's pretty pathetic.  I also think I would have handled things better 10 years ago when I was 20.  I just don't feel that young anymore.  Sad isn't it?

    but it's never to late to begin!

    You are right it's certainly not.

Last night I was so tired from work and studying all day that when I came home I instantly fell asleep on the floor while my son was playing with his toys. What a funny picture huh? Here I am in my nice working clothes, tight black-long sleeved shirt,...
I'm here, I promise I didn't fall off the face of the planet. :-)...
