So today is MLK Day. All but 4.5 hours we have had another 10 day winter break this past week due to snow. And LJ's private school that has built-in snow days, so no make up days to be had like public school. We only had one week of school after Christmas' winter break before the snow hit, which means I've only had one week of sanity before we went back to unpredictable life for 10 days. My husband has also recently had a 4 day weekend, and another 3 day weekend right in a row. Don't get me wrong, it's fabulous having him home and helping so much. It's also a catch-22. Yesterday he asked me twice in 10 minutes when I was going to do the finances. Supposedly, he handed the finances over to me in December so I could re-evaluate my budget and help him make better decisions since he always claimed we never had money paycheck by paycheck. I tried to explain it was a juggling thing, but he struggles with big picture concepts. So now, he's stressed out apparently because he can't stand how I do the money (because he's going behind me and checking up on me), and he's obsessing about refinancing the house, which means he's started obsessing about cleaning the house (and pressure washed it yesterday with lots of great toxic clorox that gave me a headache and did who-knows-what to our kid with ASD who doesn't need anymore environmental toxins invading him). His most recent comment to me is to stop telling him I told him things 10 minutes ago...which means he's tuning me out. And I'm going to be repeating myself all day. This is my definition of insanity.
So all this whining means I am getting itchy myself for routine. I'm ready for school to start back up. I'm ready for hubby to go back to work and mind his own business. I'm ready to have my household back. I'm also ready to stop coughing so I feel like doing squat. But that may require a few more doctor appointments.
Meanwhile, I'm HOPING we can get out of the house today after EK's speech and do something fun as a family. Maybe shake them all up out of their despondency and OCD. Or else this mama is disappearing and not coming back till Wednesday!
