Renegade Hangover

As you are all painfully aware the week after Christmas is here and if your house is anything like ours you are in deep physical pain right now.  We are one week into Christmas vacation with another week to go.  This week includes our kids with candy, new toys and no school days to make them tired.  Thus I give you the Renegade Christmas Hangover.  

I woke up this Monday morning with the sad realization that I was NOT taking anyone to school today.  Everyone was staying here and everyone had too much sugar, too many presents and too much fun.  Oh and yes they all have gotten on each other’s last nerve (my last nerve died a week ago on the first day of vacation).  Last night Zen was up most of the night on a feeding frenzy and Wylde was having sugar induced nightmares.  Needless to say I slept maybe an hour or two.  So this morning ReneDad got up and took both of them out of our room and I slept.  I am not sure if he meant for me to sleep in, so before you all go patting him on the back just know that I took it upon myself to go back  to sleep.  I tuned out the chaos of the house and slept my ass off until 10:30 (a record sleep-in for me and an early rising for RM2).  I woke up and felt like I had been hit by a train.  I have not felt this bad since the days of hitting the club with the $1 shots.  I have the WORST Christmas vacation hangover and I just don’t see how in the world I am going to survive a whole week of this shit.

Here are the things that currently bug the shit out of me:

1. “I’m bored!”  (words uttered via Green) WHAT?!! Seriously? Toys R Us just vomited in my damn living room and your BORED?!! Go Play Damn it!!

2. The other kids in the neighborhood who don’t have school (except Pink of course).  The little monster that tried to choke Green and got his ass kicked so he had to have his brother come tell on Green can kiss my ass.   I’m glad Green punched you in the stomach SO HE COULD BREATH AGAIN and I hope it hurt.  The other kid whose parents think I am the Christmas vacation free childcare…quit dropping your kid off at my house without asking me first! I don’t even want MY kids here why the hell do I want YOURS?

3. Fighting. Bickering. Fighting. Bickering. Fight some more.  Bicker some more. Does it ever end? 

4. ReneDad being a grouch. Ok really? Do you have to be a grouch too? I don’t like this vacation shit either so don’t make it worse okay?

5. Last, but not least…..when it’s over and school resumes I only get to drop ONE kid off at school. Damn home school. What the fuck is wrong with me that I am home schooling Princess?  Would it really be THAT bad to let her go to school and not do any of her work, flunk out and be a loser?  Do I REALLY want to go back to fighting over assignments, correcting the same rough draft over and over again? There really is something wrong with me that I am continuing to do this shit. 

The moral of this story is that if you are suffering in the same current state of “hangover” that I am complete with a raging headache then you are not alone.  Life sucks ass right now so at least if it sucks we are all in it together.
