makes you crabby as hell!
So, I pretty much haven't slept in 2 days on top of the lack of sleep that's been ongoing for some time now.
Had to drive over an hour each way to pick someone up after midnight the night before last and last night my 13 year old disappeared. He walked out the front door and I assumed he was going to my neighbor's house because he didn't say otherwise. At 10 o'clock, my middle son asked where the oldest is. I said next door. He went next door and he wasn't there...I double checked and when I went outside his shoes were on the front porch and his bike was in the garage.
I began to panic.
I decided to text the parent of one of his friends nearby to see if he was there before I called the police. He calls me from his friend's cell and asks me if he can spend the night.......He asked me if he could spend the night after he left the house, at 9:00 at night, without telling me where he was going...Then was upset when I proceed to chew him out on the phone and told him to get his butt home immediately.
He came home, I sent him to bed. He had the audacity to yell back at me.
Now I have never beaten my kids, but I was so upset I told him if he yelled at me again I was going to get his father's belt (now, that being said, I don't even think I have a belt in the house so don't get all "child abuse" on me!). He stopped yelling. He finally figured out I wasn't kidding.
Now he is my slave for a week, his daily "chore" list is a full page long. Eventually I will win this war.
So laying in bed stewing on that, the two new kittens were going nuts playing in my room...I was up and down all night.
It's a good thing I don't own a gun, because the first person to piss me off might have gotten shot!
