SS8 comes back tommorow after 2 weekends of freedom.....

Well SS8 hasn't been here the past two weekends because friends of DH and I's had two weekends of wedding stuff planned and as DH was the best man we had to be there. But SS8 returns tommorow night and lucky me we get him two weekends in a row to make up for it. It has been so nice and calm without him here, two weekends were DH and I didn't fight and got to do as we pleased without having to detor plans because of things we can't take SS to because of his behavior. It is really sad that I can take my 16mth old anywhere and have no worrys of her behavior, she has never thrown a tantrum in public, ever but I have to worry about an 8yr old boy throwing one everywhere we take him. So I'll rush all my errands into tommorow morning so that nothing needs to be done while he is here and then spend the weekend cleaning up after him, listening to him whine and to top it off put up with MIL who never shows her face around here unless SS is here. Ugh......I hate visitation weekends.....is it 2021 yet?

I love the "Is it 2021 yet? I too get a sense of tranquility when my SS11 is gone. The house becomes a war zone when she is home. Know the feeling, Bless you MOMMA!

Oh man...2021!

That just knocked me upside the head. I mean I know I have 11 more years until SD is 18...but I had not thought of it as the year 2022. That sounds like crazy far off into the future. *sigh*

Well, at least you had those 2 nice weekends...
