Mad

At the whole world. Seriously. Part of my problem is that I give and I give and no one ever gives back when I need. So.... I turn to things like cigarettes and beer to take my pissiness away. One of those is soon to be gone. I really am fine with that. I can handle it. But.... along with the smokes is going to have to go the stresses. This shit of having parents that bring sick kids to my house (yes.... AGAIN with this....) and just expect me to take them in. Like I am some sort of sickhouse that they can come get care in. This is a DAYCARE not a NURSING HOME!!! I went off on one of my daycare moms today. She works at the school as a para. It's the last day of school. One of her kids has a fever for which she took her to the doctor yesterday and she has a virus and the other kid has diarrhea. WONDERFUL. I have a ton of things to do for the last day of school. A gift to buy for the teacher whom we have had since Kindergarten and have to say goodbye to today (I'm sad, and so is Addison). Treats to buy for the class because I love them all and Addison asked me very kindly this morning if I would do so. No problem. Except that now, rather than my normal brood of children (including daycare), I have one extra kid and of all four, two are freakin sick. I have no choice. MY CHILD comes first. Thus, I must suck it up and go. Forge through. Again. For what? Not even a thank you from the mother. It's just EXPECTED. All so she can go have fun and sit in a lounge all day and eat junk food with her coworkers while someone else takes care of her SICK kids. I give up.

THANK GOODNESS for summer!

Have you quit smoking yet? Or are you on your 3rd last pack???

We'll get through this together - we just can't quite (except of course the smoking, which goes without saying, but there I've said it...oh.)

Quite? QUIT. I meant QUIT. Damn fingers - get ahead of me sometimes.

I haven't officially quit yet.... quit date is Sunday. So far it isn't going too bad though. I am supposed to smoke the first week I am on this med though. I will let you know how Sunday goes.

June 23rd? Anyone? Anyone?

I'm praying for you in your efforts to quit. Sunday is a big day!
