I know I am such a whiner. I'm just a little...put out, I know its my own stupid attitude, and I will be fine and happy but I just gotta say........
Dang it my stupid brother!!!!!!!! I need to nicer, but OK, I'm still pissed a little. Short background.....He's basically a single dad (because his x-wife is a selfish loser)and he's doing his best, but.......He is going SURFING with his friends and wants me to watch his 3 year old daughter for the weekend (this is happeneing every 6 weeks now). Oh- but he has to catch his flight right after work, so I need to watch her all day friday, and he has to go to work early, so its either bring her over at 5:15 AM tomorrow or tonight to spend the night. He couldn't have planned that a little better?? I feel SO taken advantage of. I make him pay me, just out of principal, and because there would be no trading of babysitting, and its just so he can go screw around and drink. But I still feel guilty, because its family. I KNOW he thinks, "you've got 5, whats one more?" Which seems true, but its NOT!!!! She's not really naughty or anything (usually)but she just gets the boys so hyper, the running, screaming, playing, extra messes, she dosent really like to wear clothes, and I really can't go ANYWHERE with 3 preschoolers. And Mark is out of town, which tanks, and I will have to take her to church (which she needs, I don't mind that) but its just like, I have a lot to do and going on, it just adds MORE. And I feel bad because I let her sleep in Sadie's room, and Sadie gets tired of her after a while. GAAAAAAAAHHHH! I'm finally getting rid of my moms stupid DOG I've been babysitting for 2 weeks and now I get an actual extra kid. CRAP! OH well, nothing I can do but suck it up. Dammit!!!!! I think I need some cleaning therapy.
Which brings me to rant #2. (3 total for the day now, lovely) The DOG!!!!! I am so glad to be getting rid of this dog today. He's a nice dog, he dosent' really bark, he dosent jump (he's too fat) just lays around all day, but its the HAIR. This is the sheddingest dog E V E R!!!! Big GLOBS of hair everywhere. Its aobut 4 inches long and black. I have all light tile and carpet, I sweep it all up (as best as I can)and vacuum, 3 hours later, hair globs everywhere. We brushed him, still hairy. I am gonna have to spend hours cleaning out all the floor areas of all my closets because big clumps of dog hair are in all my closets. its all in the little metal things that hold the closet doors on track. and the baseboards. Any litle drop of sticky liquid that gets on the tile is instantly coagulated with black dog hair. Its about to drive me to madness. I finally gave up yesterday, he's leaving tonight, I'm not gonna waste precious computer time vacuuming dog hair that will just reappear. AAACCCKKK!! Sorry dog people, I just can't jive with the dog thing.
