Not a fun night

16/07/2010 By Katrina

Today was pretty much a bullshit day. Work was work, but nicely broken up Oliver (who was happy as usual). Before going home we ran over to Wal-mart so that I could buy some Tupperware to organize the pantry. This is where the crappy night begins.

When I pulled into the driveway Oliver fell asleep (literally), so I unpacked the car then went out to get him. As I took my sleeping boy out of the car nana and papa pulled into the driveway to drop off a filing cabinet (one that was not accurately described to me, FYI, it’s SO heavy and old…it’s just going to end up in the trash I think). They stayed outside talking for about a half hour, which is fine, but totally screwed up my schedule for the rest of the night.

Bo got home about 10 minutes after they left, found out I spend $80 on Tupperware and got seriously mad at me. Rightfully so, and I said as much. I thought that my mat leave pay was still to come, so I checked the back, expecting another $400, but it had already gone in and I didn’t notice, so that $80 made us really tight (beyond tight really). So, Bo didn’t talk to me the rest of the night. Lovely. He did go upstairs to take a dump though, so I was still on my own with Oliver. Not that I mind, I don’t. I wish I was all the time. It’s just tough to get dinner going, and now it was almost 7:30 and I hadn’t started our dinner yet, which takes an hour to cook. The night just sucked.

So, I made Oliver a grilled cheese, which he didn’t feel like. He ended up eating cereal bars and crackers. The second night I’ve sucked as a mom this week. Thank good I give him good healthy breakfasts (and his lunch at daycare). Then I made our dinner, but not exactly what it was supposed to be. Bo was pissed, I was getting upset at the fact that he never tells me that I’m a good mom, or do a good job, or thanks me for doing any of the things I do (everything) around the house. I’m pretty sure this was just a defense mechanism to divert the fact that he was rightfully mad at me, so I didn’t say anything. Anyway, all we had for dinner was the pork tenderloin and roasted new red potatoes. I wasn’t up for the cauliflower and apple crisp. I just didn’t care any more.

Oliver crashed very shortly after eating his dinner for the night, so thankfully I was in bed by ten for a change. I was absolutely exhausted.

My fingers are crossed for a baby sitter tomorrow night (nana and papa), so that I can go and see Inception. I know, but we have no money!!! I’ve got enough scene points for two adult tickets, a large popcorn, and a large drink, so we’re covered. It’ll just cost us $5 for a second drink, which we’ll need, it’s a 2½ hour long movie.

Hi, I’m Katrina…

I used to be a graphic designer who slept in every Saturday and ate out more than in. Now, I'm a stay at home mom of three little kids who loves cooking great tasting meals at home. I hoard a ridiculous amount of cookbooks, have been known to bbq in three feet of snow, and am obsessed with keeping things organized (though you'd never know it by the state of my house). More about me here...
