As It Turns Out

by The Momma

woman screaming
I should have stayed in bed this morning. I knew when I got up that I should go back to bed. I drank my morning Pepsi and I did a bit of writing but the comfy pillows and sheets were screaming my name. Begging me to come back and warm them again.

However, I stayed awake. This was my first mistake of the morning.

My oldest son woke up and apparently thought to himself…”What can I do to make Mom feel like she is losing her mind today?”

And then he proceeded to do just that. He is disagreeable about absolutely everything. It took us nearly an hour to get through TWO PAGES of math problems. Not even very difficult math problems. He wanted me just to hand him the answer on a silver platter and hello that won’t teach him anything so I made him figure them out. Mostly because I knew he could.

Then he complained about my plans for tonight and “why do we have to do that” and “why can’t we do this instead” and OH MY HELL STOP IT RIGHT NOW JUST STOP IT BEFORE YOUR MOTHER EXPLODES!!!!!

I’m not sure why some days he seems to take such joy in doing and saying things he knows will upset and irritate me. Honestly he is so much like his father somedays I just want to cry.
