Kinda went overboard yesterday with junk. Had a candy bar AND a protein bar after dinner.
Kid has lice so had to wash her and youngest up and still working on bedding and things. Bagged it all up last night and hubby sprayed their room. The school has an outbreak every other year. Last time the kids kept bringing it home and over Nov-Jan we sprayed the whole house at least 3 times (with tempo), washed hair with lice products every 1-2 weeks as directed, combed through three times a day and washed al bedding weekly. At one point after Christmas I had started washing ALL of their clothing every week which meant my washer and drier were going nonstop almost every day. Stuffed animals and things that couldn’t be washed were placed in bags and left for the entire time and up until spring break. The school wouldn’t make ingested kids stay home and only did a check twice during those three months. This year we received a note saying the kids had to stay home, be treated and couldn’t ride the bus until the school checked them and they were lice free. They can’t ride the bus but they can sit next to my kid in class. They can stand together in a group for performances with their arms around other kids and heads leaned in together. 😳 If it wasn’t the last week before break, also testing week with projects, parties and programs, I’d take all three kids out early for Christmas. But if I do that my oldest could become ineligible by missing at least 5 tests and my middle had her big project due the 21st and it’s worth a lot of her grade. So I’ll do three times a day checks again, separate the kids from each other, bag everything up and treat it like an epidemic. Man I wish they’d somehow manage to control it. We are a farm family that believe in chemical use. Traditional lice treatments aren’t working much anymore therefore we use products that we KNOW work. Once dry it’s safe for the kids and pets so we just have to keep them out of their rooms for half an hour after it’s done. At least now we know the house won’t have lice, bed bugs or any other tiny critters for 3 months! Of course we spray more often because I don’t trust their time frames. The school said about bed bugs last year but thankfully that never came home. It’s al time consuming and frustrating.
Inlaws showed up yesterday. Crossed all the boundaries we had set. I’m off my meds. Love saying that haha. Haven’t taken it in a week now. Stayed calm and collected but did raise my voice a bit high and it squeaked. Dead give away that my anxiety level is Hugh when that happens. Got the kids back to me and shagged ass. Now I’m in full agreement with the hubby: no holidays with them. If they can’t respect our boundaries and the kids are having anxiety over them not listing or putting the kids on the spot then his way so the best thing for two of the kids. The youngest is 4 and I don’t think she will be harmed by missing Christmas with them. The extended family gathering I’m still unsure about. Why punish everyone else for the misdeeds of a few? But I know they’ll do the same there. They have his 95 yr old grandma calling them to invite them to things when we invite her! Same for his sister. We can’t do anything with just the 5 of us without getting a call or text saying we are being unfair by not letting them come to every single thing we do. We are bullying them by asking that they let us invite different family members to separate events so that the kids aren’t overwhelmed with 10 people trying to talk to them in 5 minutes between games. So that when one group invited us to dinner we or they are paying for just 7-10 of us rather than 15-20. So that our kids have a change to visit with a couple and those family members can learn more about our kids rather than having another adult taking their attention.
And the lies! Omg! Saying we haven’t invited them to anything when I have texts proving that I did. They just didn’t show up! Having other family manipulate us because we are unfair in our need to have a couple things a year with just the kids and want to see people without it always being a large group. We are also bad people because I haven’t cooked for and catered to them in almost a year. We’ve been busy. We’ve had Friday nights free only. They don’t think we need that time at home with the kids and to relax. We should be buying steaks and cooking for them because not coming over means the kids aren’t getting to know them. Last time they cornered the Kids about games and why we don’t want them at every single thing and why we want to have a game with just us to eat by ourselves afterwards or to have the 4th of July by ourselves and the day after Christmas to rest and kids to play with new toys. But when I brought it up I was not he wrong because they have the right to ask my kids anything they want and I should make the kids answer. Ohhhh I wanna dig into those Oreos! Hubby got them out last night which is why I settled on a snickers. I wouldn’t stop on the Oreos because when I get going on talking about this then I eat mindlessly. I really wouldn’t even remember eating Oreos until the package was gone. So now my Oreo stash belongs to my Kids! Safest for me lol. I have one snickers left and I’m saving it. Want almonds but I eat those mindlessly too. So right now I’m making due with coffee. He gives them the contracts soon and it’ll be legal when he does. Then I won’t have to keep my mouth shut any longer. They wish to review it again until after Christmas. This is a way to get us there because they can refuse the contract if we don’t come. BUT they signed it before they gave it to us to sign so... BUT hubby had to retype some of it. They had the years wrong, forgot to take out a paragraph instead just crossing through it and adding some stuff in ink. He typed it all up to make it legal. Surely it wouldn’t be legal with everyone writing notes in margined and such. But they didn’t have time so signed the signature page ahead of time knowing it would be retyped and they can compare it to the other and see that there’s been no changes other than what had been hand written turned into typing. I’m done being manipulated. I’m done having my kids cornered or drug off like yesterday. She shagged ass when I Hillary’s for my kid to come to me. I mean his mom literally took off out the door and we didn’t see her walking out and it’s a long walk. She knew she ‘broke the rules’ and crossed another boundary. She knew we would make a scene as promised. She thought we were bluffing. The next time they show up I’ll say something immediately. They even sat by my family rather than his grandma! That way we couldn’t say anything to my family. My family knows all this and chose to just wave goodbye rather than bring them over to the kids. My family, the ones who came, respect our boundaries and my children. Extended family on my side have more respect my my kids wants and needs than their own grandparents on his side. Sad. My family understands that if someone doesn’t want to be touched you don’t touch them. If they have anxiety you don’t corner them and ask them questions until they feel sick and lash out. My family knows that you don’t ask two kids to spy on their parents and sister and report back to them. His family will learn that you don’t mess with my kids and I’m not afraid of public opinion. I may lose parents that sit with me at practices and games. I’ll just bring a book for practices and I’m good with just family at games. These moms may not want to talk to me again and that’s fine. The school May talk to em and that’s fine. I’ll be open and honest and I really doubt his folks want that. They’ve told us we can’t say a word about this to anyone lol.
Anywho, I’m avoiding junk as much as I can. I’m cleaning and doing laundry. My middle now has a tummy ache but we got rid of the lice. Have tons of stuff to do but I think I’ll call a friend and maybe grab a beer to calm down. A beer or two has to be better than a bag of Oreos lol. Thank goodness the kids ate the chocolate chip cookies because I couldn’t have refused those! Hope everyone doesn’t think I’m crazy but if ya do you know where the ‘unfollow’ button is 😉. Hope your weekend is blessed with sunny skies, nice weather, smiles to brighten your day and safe travels!
