How was my weekend?
Well, it involved shark attacks, baseball games, pools and valium.
Pretty action packed.
It started off on Saturday. I had a packed schedule:
7:30am drop off cable box at Cable TV...I switched to DISH, Cable TV was killing me with the bill....
8:00am go to Freshmart and get Miss C her lunch snacks..
8:20am therapy...
9:00am Doctor...get him to fill out ANOTHER Medical exam...The school asked for another form to be filled out at the last minute.
I was there till 12:00pm...True was at my place making sure my DISH was being properly installed....
Got home, took a shower and made my way with Vietnam to his company's Family Day.
After a 40 minute drive we arrived.
Miss C went ballistic when she saw the clowns.
She and clowns don't mix.
So I tried to make things work...mentioned a pool. She got happy. Only to have happiness sucked out of her, when we got there and they closed the pool in our faces.
Needless to say: ALL HELL BROKE LOSE.
My hand bares a huge bruise, souvenir of the bite she took out of me. She screamed, wailed, Vietnam was embarrassed, people looked on, raised eyebrows, made comments...I lost my temper.
I spanked her.
Yeah I spanked her.
Sue me.
I looked and said very out loud: "If no one is going to help, then stop staring!!!"
We spoke to the lifeguards, they didn't give a crap.
It wasn't until an Employee, high ranking employee of Vietnam's workforce, came over and decided this could not be allowed. He demanded that Miss C be let in the pool.
They let her in.
But it was too late.
It took an additional half hour to get her under control.
I was enfuriated.
I spent the rest of the day in the pool, sucking in tears.
As they day ended I started to prepare Miss C and tell her that we were going to be leaving soon....
A life guard came by...with a smirk on his face:
"How are you gonna get her out??? You got any valium??" ::chuckle chuckle::
and he walked away before I could say anything...
We went home and Miss C continued her hell-tour....I ended up spanking her when she reached out to bite me again.
That was the last straw.
I cried and cried and cried.
True got home and saw the whole mess...
He tries to help the poor dear, but sometimes it's just hard.
There are days like this weekend that I don't know how I can deal with her.
Days that even though deep down inside I want more kids, I don't know if I can deal with her and ANOTHER child.
Sunday, went by the same..more tears....more frustrations....
But today is a new day...a new week...and she starts school....so it's less time with me...so it all works out for now...I need the solo time...
This Wednesday I will be on TV, talking about Autism....so I'll be sure to post about that....
How was your weekend???
