It's Saturday night and my son has the TV blasted and my daughter has the music blasted. I tried turning it down and he flew at the TV. I wanted to smack him. It's Saturday night and I'm feeling sorry for myself being stuck here with no quiet time to even read my book.

The neighbor's dog was left out in the rain last night and whined and barked all night and they never brought him in all day. I had to close my bedroom window because it's dark now and he's starting to bark again. I'm so mad that nobody is doing anything about that poor dog. I feel like going out there and putting him in my cellar for the night, anything is better than the poor thing outside soaking and hungry.

The next three days are going to be trying. I have to work 7a-7p and then I have a 5 day stretch off. I don't have the kids next weekend so I am planning on taking some much needed "me" time. I usually take the kids extra on Fridays, but I may have to swallow my guilt in order to have some time for myself. Some people from work have dinner/drinks every Friday night and they always invite me so I might take the chance and actually go this time.
