So, my "friend" or frenemy was here this weekend.. TMI? sorry.. but relevant to my mental state and comfort level.. lol.. and so where the skids. We had a work event for my dh on Saturday. Dh goes and gets the skids, I take the baby and go make our appearance on time. Dh and skids are almost 2 hrs late.. no big.. I am having a good time mingling w/the baby and people that I know.. and meeting people that I dont. Its amazing how a baby is a conversation starter.

Anyway.. they get there, and its going good.. I mean.. I had no complaints.. then its getting later.. almost toward the end.. and apparently it had been too long w/behaving.. it may be just normal kid stuff... but let me say, they were the only ones that did this.. ok.. so its time for the balloon TOSS.. they tell people to get a partner for it. My skids run up, grab 3 balloons EACH and start whipping them at each other and neither is attempting to CATCH the "TOSSED" balloons. Then they go and grab 3 more each. Now there were people that hadnt even gotten over there to grab 1 balloon to toss to their partner yet. So I tell my dh to go HANDLE it.. that they need to play right, or not at all. Leave balloons for others.. I am mortified. There are several groups playing correctly.. not skids. Dh did handle it.. then I just looked away, in case they didnt follow instructions.. I would have snapped... Then the group hands out water guns to all the kids.. no problem... they are playing this right.. UNTIL they run out of water, and I hear SS10 as he is walking by me say, no problem.. I will just fill mine w/PEPSI!! I was like.. YOU DO, AND I THROW IT OUT AND YOU DONT GET A NEW ONE!! he then tells me.. I was just kidding, I said, well.. in case you werent (which I doubt he was.. he didnt realize he was walking by me) you know what will happen if you do!

We then went home.. the rest of the day was pretty uneventful.. THANK GOD!

Now.. my dh took the door off of the upstairs bathroom last week to paint.. its still not on.. but we do have a bathroom on the first floor.. so they didnt feel comfortable using the upstairs bathroom, even if we were all downstairs.. no prob. I get that.. so here is where irony plays a hand..

Sunday am.. I am in the downstairs bathroom.. taking care of business w/the door closed of COURSE.. and in barges SD10.. at this point, I LOSE IT!! I screamed at the top of my lungs, as I am slamming the door closed on her, JESUS CHRIST, DONT YOU PEOPLE KNOCK?!?!?!? and my dh is now yelling at her.. the door was closed, why did you do that? and she says.. ready for this ladies?!??? no it wasnt!!! OMG! DH was like, YES IT WAS!! you need to apologize, and honor closed doors in this house!! so.. irony.. they wanted a door on the bathroom upstairs, but couldnt honor the CLOSED bathroom door downstairs.. so what did it matter if there was a door upstairs or not?!?!?! I dont get it.

Later in the day.. ss10 was playing we.. sd10 was sitting on the couch and holding the baby (she asked.. washed her hands, and dh let her after she was sitting and stuff) so ss goes from a normal motion on playing the wii w/his remote in hand.. to almost hitting the baby in the face (w/his oober exageratted swing) after dh turns his back to the couch. I yelled at him (as I am the one that saw it), if you come even CLOSE to hitting that baby again, you will NOT be playing anymore Wii.. he is lucky that my dh was between us, as I am sure I would have ripped it from his hand and broken it!!! I wanted to THROTTLE ss. If he were my kid, and he almost hit his baby brother, I would have spanked him and sent him to his room.. it was DELIBERATE! Like I said, he had been not doing that motion til sd10 was holding the baby on the couch.. then he got all exaggerated. Same game, same area of the game.. nothing needed to change. Sd at this point says that she is done holding the baby. Not sure if she thought she would be guilty by association, or if she too was worried that ss would hit her and the baby if given more time.

Lets just say, I am glad that my weekend ended.. they dont come back til the last weekend in Aug.. and I am just thanking god for that one.

ss10 is a very angry child, I wish they would get him counseling.. or something.. and to imagine he called the baby clueless last time they were here, yet he displayed clueless behavior all weekend w/his stupid ideas, and lack of impulse control.
