This entire month has been a test of my patience and sanity. My neice and her children moved in with us on July 1st and I am so ready for them to be gone. They have pretty much destroyed everthing in our house and I just do not know how much more I can handle and really do not want to be tested on it. Not only are they destructive but they do not mind, do not think that the rules apply to them and treat Lanie like an unwanted dog. I, in turn, am turning into a first class *BITCH*! I seem to yell all the time, have a constant frown on my face and just cannot seem to enjoy anything anymore. I would rather be at work than at home. I would rather go hungry than go out to breakfast with them. The only reason I don't go look for a second job is that I really do need to be home with Lanie in the evening.
The girls leave on Thursday or Friday of this week but we will still have Levi and Toni. Toni has an interview today so hopefully she will ge the job and be on her way to getting her own apartment. Maybe she will even take a shower today! What a relief that will be. Their room stinks like body odor and cat litter box. What a joy!
Ok, have to leave this on a positive note:
I am having a hard time finding anything positive to put in here today. I find it very difficult to be positive at all right now. It is even hard to be happy around Lanie-at least for any length of time because the three hellions interject into our time. The only time I truly get alone with Lanie is if I sneak her off to the grocery store with me or when it is story time at bed time. I do love sitting on the floor and reading her stories at bedtime. She is so cute and is memorizing the stories because she will say them with me. This weekend instead of putting kisses in her pockets, she is putting them in an envelope and takes them out and eats them. So incredibly cute!
