I have an excuse, actually two. The first being that I am a mother of 2 eighteen month old toddler boys that are busy discovering the world with a vengance. The second is that I just haven’t had much to bitch about. That was my main reason for starting this blog, I had a lot of frustration I wanted to vent but lately nada.
Well that might not be entirely true. I would like to vent about the fact that tonight is the first night in four nights that my boys did not go to bed crying and upset. That would be because this is the first night in four nights that we didn’t have any frickin company over. Husband’s family is divorced with remarriages and subsequent divorces leaving us with a total of 3 grandmas and 3 grandpas and potentially a new grandma in our not so distant future. It’s ridiculous really. Most of them can’t stand to be around eachother leaving us with 2-3 calls a week of grandparents wanting to come visit the boys that cannot be over on the same day. So instead of having occasional visitors, we have visitors several times a week. The boys enjoy the company and attention but it is killing Kevin and I at bedtime. The boys are so wound up by the time they go to bed and our lovely company leaves us with two screaming boys that don’t want the fun to end.
Holidays are a load of fun too. Trying to make everyone happy and spend an equal amount of time with everyone is sport in itself. Its sad really, I never knew just how sad divorce really is. Even though husband’s parents have been divorced for 22 years it still is a painful and constant pain the ass for him. FIL’s inexcusable behavior that repeats itself over and over which has caused this huge mess makes me want to beat him over the head with an ore.
