TGIF (?)

Just once, I'd like to be able to ENJOY my weekend. It seems like there's always something on tap.

Tonite, my BIL is coming over to help us run some new electrical outlets. We're moving things around in the next couple of weeks to give the girls more room when they're downstairs, and we need more outlets to accomodate all the stuff that's moving. So I've spent the last couple of nights preparing for that, because I know he's going to storm in here like Hurricane Mike and mow down anything in his path. The timing on this was not optimal, but that's what happens when you're depending on someone else to do you a favor, you need to work according to their timeline. Tomorrow night, we've got F and Mrs F coming over, and probably Mr and Mrs L. I can't stand them, especially his wife. Five years ago, Mr. L. was a complete loser. Lived at home at 33, no real job, you know the type. Then he finds this girl, and he marries her. In the grand scheme of things, she's made him a better man - but she completely wears the pants in their relationship. She's a total principessa who walks into my house and acts like she's going to get cooties from sitting on my furniture. Someday I'm going to get drunk enough and throw her out on her ass. My house isn't much to marvel at, but its MINE. Show some fucking respect.

I'd wanted to take the girls out tomorrow during the day, but the weather isn't going to cooperate. Figures.

Speaking of the girls, Miss S. is becoming quite the cerebral assassin. She's now hitting. And why? Because DH taught her how. He thinks its "cute". Now I have to unlearn this behaviour. She hits me, then puts her head on my shoulder, looks up at me and smiles like, "mommy, I love you..." She's no fool. I am in trouble with this one. The other day she was trying to open a jack-in-the-box, and couldn't figure it out - she had a total tantrum -- threw the thing across the room and everything. I said to DH, "that's all you. THAT is not MY side of the family".

Because we all know I'm just SOOOooo level headed, right?
