Troubled Tuesday |

Troubled Tuesday is basically my complaint day to complain about all the troubles I have, which could range from what is happening on TV shows to who knows what.

I feel like I am back in school again having to get up early to put S on the bus. It has been over 6 years since I have had to get up every morning on a schedule. It has always when the kids get up I get up. Now I am craving the weekends again. I have to get off the go to bed late schedule.
P is having serious withdrawls from S not being home all day with us. When we get in the car she points to S’s seat. I know she is asking where is he, or is he coming. I tell her, S is in school and we will see him later. Her response, “Wa-hoo!”
I got to keep the windows open for 48 hours. It has been one hot summer and we have used our air conditioner 99% of the time. It has been in the 70s for the past few days and I have been enjoying every moment of fresh air in the house. They would still be open tonight if someone wasn’t burning. Why can’t they burn on hot days when everyone’s windows are closed? What really sucked is I could smell it in my living room, but when I went in the bedroom there was nothing. I love sleeping with my windows open but can’t. Maybe in the fall I will get a few more days.
What a night we have had. It was shower time and I was getting P ready to get in the shower and S was getting in his shower when I heard a shrill scream and cry. I thought he fell or something so I went to check on him. He was screaming crying in the shower telling me that his armpits were burning. I tried washing them with soap and a washcloth. He did not stop and say they were on fire. I asked if he sprayed something on them. He said no and when I asked him if that was the truth because I couldn’t help him if he didn’t tell me. He said he sprayed Citrus Fresh Air Freshener on his armpits like spray deodorant. The water from the shower activated it to make it burn. That was punishment enough and he didn’t need punished. He was punishing himself enough.
