With my new job, I am able to spend more time with my wonderful children, Nyani and DJ. This is actually another reason I really wanted to take this job. I only work 3 days a week. With my previous job, they were always with their grandparents (who I appreciate more than a platinum mine) and I felt like a neglectful Mother. But with a traditional full time job and a being a PT student, what could I do? Needless to say I was ecstatic about spending this week with my kiddies since summer is ending and the 1st day of school is rapidly approaching.
I planned to play in the pool with them and just do all the fun things we usually don't have time to do. Duane and I even took Nyani to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. (Great place for elementary aged children. Lots of appropriate rides for them and a water park. All for ~$30 per person! I highly recommend it.)
You know how 'they' say you can have too much of a good thing. Well...'they' were absolutely right. Today, those 2 worked my last nerve. My son, wouldn't let me put him down for anything. Normally, he sits in his bouncer or swing. Or he will even lay on the couch or bed and amuse himself...but not today. All he did was cry and scream. Oh yeah, he learned a new trick too...PULLING MY HAIR! My daughter went to pre-school this morning. I picked her up and the nuisance began. It seemed like she borrowed the "How Can I Piss Mommy Off" book from the library and memorized every last page. By 5pm I wanted to sit them both on the curb with a bag and sign that read "Free".
Needless to say, both of them are going to bed early tonight. In fact, it's bed time now...I can almost hear the peace and quiet.
