I found the most perfect gift to give Jackie, for Christmas! I’ve already gotten her several things, but I couldn’t resist this…
I’ve got her pajamas, fuzzy slipper socks, a new electric blanket (she’s mentioned hers doesn’t work as good as it used to), and I’ve crafted a couple of things for her, too. I’m doing pretty good, with my Christmas gift shopping. I’ve got a whole lot of people shopped for. I still need to find a few things for some people, and I’ve got some craft projects I’m working on yet, but I’m feeling accomplished. I’m excited about it all.
Last night, Adam pissed me off. I felt he was being a jerk, and even “showing off” to Justin. I didn’t appreciate the way he spoke to me, or his attitude towards me. It just wasn’t necessary. The truth is, I could’ve responded to all of this better. I definitely got defensive and gave him attitude right back. I cursed him out, and showed little restraint. If he hadn’t been acting the way he was, I’m positive I’d have been in serious trouble for the way I spoke to him. I got frustrated and upset, because if he expects me to be respectful and careful with my tone, he should give me the same things. I can’t pick him up and put him over my knee, which leaves me struggling to show him my upset. I should control my own attitude, but it’s not an easy thing to do in those situations. We didn’t end up going to bed angry. We both understood what went wrong.
Today, I’ve got a sick little boy here. One of the littles isn’t feeling well. He just wants to lay on the couch, under a pile of blankets. I’ve had it with all this crud making everybody sick! I swear, it’s been nonstop! I’m already ready for this day to be over with. It’s only 9:30am, so it’s going to be a long one, I’m afraid.
