The Man comes home tonight and I promised him that I would have the house as cleaned as I can possible get to help with his allergies. Yesterday I spent a good part of the morning cleaning and getting what laundry I I could do done before noon. Yes my house looked like a train hit it because I know that while he's gone I can do what I need to and he won't be there saying, "Get this out of my way." I clean badly where I start upstairs and throw dirty sheets and stuff over the loft wall and leave it there until I come downstairs. With him being gone I left it there while I cleaned the whole upstairs and it was nice. I did all the stuff that uses electricity during the morning and did the manual cleaning (bathrooms and mopping floors) during the peak hours.
Luckily I put the kids in daycare yesterday because it was a hot one and I wanted to keep the air off as long as possible. I spent a little while in the bedroom because it was the coolest room in the house. After our tiff about the cat I really have been doing my best to keep the house and cat as clean as possible so he can't say we have to get rid of her again.
She was so cute Monday night, after we took The Man to the airport I gave the kids a bath/shower. G was taking her bath first and normally Tatum stays downstairs but she came up that night and watched as G took a bath. G thought that was the coolest thing ever. Tatum was very lucky that she didn't fall into the water because her stitches haven't dissolved yet. Crazy cat.
The kids were having a hard time on Sunday night because they aren't used to The Man leaving, the last time that he has gone to California was back in December and I think we with him but not too sure. Either way they're doing better and they know that he comes home tonight and we get to pick him up at 8pm and they get a later bedtime.
Tomorrow I do go in for my CT scan and the genetic counselor. That's going to be a nerve racking day because you can't have metal on while doind the scan and I have a pair of earrings that I have never taken out (because I don't know how to) since I got the piercing almost 9 years ago. How sad is that I don't know how to take earrings out? Hopefully they'll be able to let them stay in, my MIL said that when she had her scan that they were able to tape on hers.
I'm under an incredible amount of stress and I can't seem to not let it get to me. I was always yelling that the kids this weekend and just flat out angry with them and any little thing they did wrong I just got all in their business and it just made it that much worse. I really have to work and that and I am really trying to it's very hard to remember all the things to try and keep calm.
All I know is that B is going to a better school, G is going to stay home, my surgery will be scheduled next week for sometime in May I assume and that things should be getting back to normal for a little while until the storm hits again. Luckily this time the storm does not include The Man's dad, I would have to kill myself if that ever happened again. Either that or I would just leave until his dad was gone but I doubt it will ever come to that./
