As per my blog title, I would love to not be in Tacoma right now. I would love to be eating Chinese food, in China with Allan. Not because I am in love or anything like it with Allan but because he is in China and China is not Tacoma…
Things are complicated and irritating and loud and frustrating and lazy and messy and covered in snot here in my house (things are also good and loving and warm and tasty and full hugs or kisses and tickles here in my house). I keep yelling at my sister and her husband when it comes to their kids because I feel they are both lazy and they both feel like I am over stepping my place. My thought is this… when you kids are both coughing and sneezing and one of them is coughing so hard that his nose is bleeding, then you need to get off your arse and find something at home that might hold them over until their 2pm doctors appointment. Yes, I get that I am not their mother. I mean I seriously know that. I promise. But if no one else if going to do it then I will. I will give them their meds and I will wipe the bloody snot from their faces and I will lose my shit all over the two “adults” that act like children and bicker back and forth about who should do what. Do not argue, just do it.
I am making a promise to myself via this blog. I will be spending a lot of time in my upstairs office so as to not step in and then start flipping out. I’ve been flipping out a lot. Over dirty dishes, over unkept children, over attitudes and wandering husbands (not Ian). I am done. It’s not right and it is pissing people off. My sister is mad and slamming doors because I yelled at her for working out instead of insuring that her lazy husband gave their children medicine.
This is me taking a stand. I will not watch the children I love being ignored and left to fend for themselves when both Mummy and Daddy are present, but I also wont flip out about it. I will tell them that if they aren’t going to do it then I will. End of story.
As an ending note, I give you this picture. Calm down, I know it is amazing.
Peacock from zoolights earlier this month... I used my mothers camera and for some reason I always take blurry pictures with it.
