Harley's birthday was Wednesday and my little sister's high school graduation was Thursday, so that means family is in town. And this particular family saps my energy. My dad, stepmom, and baby sister flew in from Colorado, and while I love my dad, my sister has no sense of personal boundaries and my stepmom likes taking the initiative on things, even if she shouldn't.
Point in question, getting together this week. I haven't had a day at home since Monday (I think), and being a stay-at-home mom used to being home as well as an introvert, I am completely exhausted. Harley is too, her nap schedule is totally screwed up and I know she hasn't been eating like she's supposed to. I need a good 12-hour night, and that may still not be enough.
Anyway, my stepmom's been bugging me to spend time with them. The problem is, with Harley's party tomorrow, Anthony and I have been making a mad dash to clean the house. It's nowhere near ready, and I won't have time to clean it the rest of the way. Stepmom told me yesterday, "We're picking you up at noon!" without giving meany say-so in the matter or letting me talk to Anthony about it. He's working today, so no worries for him, but it sounds like Stepmom is going to try to fit eight people, including two car seats, in a car meant for five. Kindergarten says that will not work.
Besides being forced to go somewhere when I have things that need to be done and am too exhausted to really do any of them, I haven't had coffee all this week. I really don't think I'm going to make it through the day without some and even then it might not work.
Wish me luck.
