Case of the Mondays, anyone?

ramfan05

Today is shaping up to be a pretty crappy start to the week. DS (he's 3.5 for mobile users) has been having tantrum after tantrum today. He growls at me and stomps his feet, I tell him he needs to cool down, he yells no and starts screaming bloody murder, I carry him to his room to calm down. This cycle has happened at least 3 or 4 times today. 

On top of that, DD is not napping at all today. And I found out today that the teaching positions I applied for (I applied for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th at the new school in my neighborhood where DS goes to preschool) have all been filled. I didn't even get an interview, and I've worked for the principal there for 4 years previously. I thought for sure I'd at least get an interview. This makes me feel like there's something I'm doing wrong in my teaching that he never told me about. I always thought that he really liked me as a teacher and thought I did a good job.  

I can't take much more of this Monday. I need a drink! Anyone else want to vent about their Monday?

Yep, case of the Mondays here too. It's cloudy and rainy and LO had her 2 month shots today. At least DH is bringing home City BBQ for dinner!

Hope LO is doing alright after her shots! BBQ sounds good though

Ugh! That sounds really crappy! My 3yo is ca-ray-zee lately. He acts the same way your DS acts. Today, he was actually pretty good, but I'm starting to wonder if it's just the calm before the storm. :-S

My Monday has still been shitty though. Mainly because my lazy DH is still in bed. And I'm in San Diego, so it's after 3pm here. He does not have a job, he does not have boobs so he doesn't wake up for MOTN feeds or anything, he is just a lazy douche bag today. And it's making me irrationally angry.

So, there's my Monday story. Ending with WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, DH?!

@JA82406, I say the 2s are easy, it's the terrible 3s you need to worry about!

And I'd go roll DH out of bed, hand him the baby and tell him that it's his turn! Then go get a latte (or, you know, something equally delicious!)

@ramfan05‌ I have been trying to wake him up since 10am. But he just goes right back to sleep. How does someone do that??

A Starbucks sounds so good. I have to go return LO's swing at Target because I don't like it and if he doesn't wake up and go with me then I'm going to spend all the money. And he can just suck it!

DH, should I grab you by your ears and help you, or do you know what you're doing?

Add me to the crazy 3 year old and crappy Monday camp also. DD1 is melting down and DD2 has decided it's better to cry then sleep. I feel like crying too. I could use a nap. Counting down the hours until DH gets home and bed time. But DD2 likely won't sleep then eiher. And DD2 will be up too early.

I honestly don't think I know any grown adults who sleep until 3 p.m. That's ridiculous.

He's the only one that I know of. It's beyond ridiculous. He just woke up.

Well, good morning, Sunshine.

Why did you let him sleep? I know you said you tried to wake him up, but... wow. It doesn't sound healthy. That shit would not fly here, unless he was sick or something.

Agreed. I'd be rolling DH's butt out of bed. Now that he's slept so late, he won't sleep tonight, and the cycle continues...

Trust me, I don't "let" him sleep. I tried everything. We live in a small apartment and the baby cries during the day, my 3yo is loud and playful, I did dishes, straightened up the house... All of which makes a ton of noise. I went in the room and shook him, tapped him, pulled blankets off, moved him around, turned the light on, kept telling him to get up, and even vacuumed. He just simply wouldn't get up. It doesn't fly with me either, but I don't want to fight with him and waste energy.

Thanks @TyrannosaurusLex, but the principal at the new school has known all school year that I was planning to apply for next school year. I've talked to him about it multiple times this year when dropping DS off for preschool. I'm super bummed about it because I'm not really happy at the school I am going back to but will have to suck it up for one more year. My school is pretty tough and I'm not looking forward to some of the issues I know are coming my way next year. Hopefully next year will be my last there and I can find something new closer to home and on the same school calendar as DS.

@ramfan05‌ I'm sorry. Hopefully after this next year you'll have a better opportunity somewhere else!

Thanks Tlex Meant to say before that I'm sorry you are dealing with a sick DH - that is no fun at all! Hope you are enjoying your Subway and Frozen and snuggles with your little girl!

Oh gosh TLex I'm so sorry. The same thing happened to me (sort of). I was so used to being out with DH that I went out with my mom and she pulled out in front of another car. I flipped my lid!! Then everyone around was either hacking or sniffling or smoking by our car... It was awful. I didn't realize how much safer I felt with him there.

((Hugs)) for everyone! We are over here recovering from a 9 hour road trip. Haven't done much today! B is sleeping for the first time since we got up at 10:00. his whole schedule is messed up.
