One of Those Days

Yes I'm actually posting again just to vent so I don't totally lose my temper. Little man doesn't seem to be feeling good today because he is crying and cranky about everything. He usually LOVES bath and he was screaming and sobbing because he didn't want to go in this morning. Then after about 15 minutes he was fine and playing. I've noticed his nose running and R has been sick so I'm not sure if he's coming down with something or not.

Lately, he's been only wanting to eat PB and J sandwiches and his response to anything you want him to do or ask him to do is, "No I can't". I know part of the problem is that I'm not devoting enough attention to activities and doing things with him. It's been hard since we've moved because finishing school work didn't allow for much time to unpack and get things organized so I've been trying to do it during the day with Little man here. I got a preschool curriculum book earlier this summer and I'm going to have to get back on schedule and plan things for us to do throughout the day so that he keeps busy and less destructive. He loves to pull out every toy in his room and bring stuff into the living room.

The house is taking up a great deal of time too. Yesterday we had an inspector come out just to be sure everything was okay before we signed the contract and we've been dealing with water issues in the basement. The water softener has hoses that are supposed to drain into a wash basin but my wonderful husband thought it would be a great idea to take out the basin because it was nasty. Which is fine but dammit be sure those hoses are put in something properly so they can drain somewhere other than the floor. Usually R is very good at fix it projects and handy man work but this time he overlooked something important. We are never down there when it happens though so we aren't sure exactly if that is the problem. Just things to deal with when you have a house.

I'll be so glad when we are fully settled and things are all taken care of at least for a little while. Making it through the holidays certainly will help. I need to get presents wrapped today and things organized in that department because they have overtaken my closet. Oh do I miss the days of Little man's 4 hours of napping through out the day! Ok there is my vent thanks for reading!
