Hey y’all. Sorry its been awhile. Things have been nuts. Works been crazy, Andrew has been driving me up the wall, I finally got my house in order. I rejoined a band as the lead singer and then the drummer and guitar player got into an argument about god knows what. So now I have nothing to do with my spare time that actually gets me out of the house for a couple of hours. I am on a 13 day stretch at work before my next day off. Today is day number 9. Andrew has spent the last couple weeks in full on tantrum mode. I’m talking screaming bloody murder just because he is put in time out style tantrum. The other day he screamed at me that he doesn’t want to live with me anymore. All because I made him stand with his nose in the corner for lying to me. I am at my whits end with this kid. After he screamed at me I sent him to his room and called J. When she suggested that I sit and explain to him why he lives with me and not her, I told that that is a conversation that she needs to have with him herself. I understand that hes young and doesn’t understand. I remember being his age and wondering why I didn’t live with my mom. I know he will understand later on that this is what was best for him. But you child screaming at you that they hate you and don’t want to live with you is something you expect from a teenager, NOT a 6 year old. J is coming up this morning to spend the weekend and help me figure this situation out… I just hope something changes. Between all the drama and work and the drama at home with the kid my life has been insane. I don’t know how much more I can take. Oh, AND I have to find a new babysitter… Wish me luck.
