OH man! No kidding about that lunar eclipse. I kept thinking it was the aide sitaution for Mike but he knows as of Friday she will be back tomorrow.
It was so bad when my inlaws where watching the young ones so I could take Cait shopping (DH was at a funeral) they had to call me about his behavior. I think they were scared. Fortunately they are getting wiser and just gave him his space and he calmed down and was just off on his own for the last 1/2 hour but they have never had to call me before due to behavior. UGH. He usually is fine being babysat at grandparents as long as there aren't any cousins there.
Oh and that is after I had to get a bath and shower getting him out of the pool on Saturday at Special Olympics. He put on quite the show and nearly clocked one of the assistant coaches.
Here's hoping tomorrow is a better day. Well at least they will be at school.

Oh I know the mommy thing.... lol. There's things only I can do, and no one else. PERIOD. I am so used to it, I don't know any other way lololol.
I told Tony he is the one that puts nicholas to bed, because chris will only go to bed for me. And bedtime is not fun with both of them, so I figure I will only deal with half the stress LOL.
Dad can't make the hamburger, because I am the only one that can do that. Dad can't do this or that, cuz I'm the only one. UGH.
The thing that irks me the most, is when I know Chris can do something himself, and is capable, but insists that I do it. I'm trying to get him to do more, but it hasn't been easy.
His latest Garlic bread obsession has to be like this.....
I mix a chunk of butter with a squirt of garlic in a tube, then stick it in the microwave to soften the butter. I grab the bread and butter one side and flop the unbuttered side onto the griddle (he absolutely won't take the toaster, has to be the griddle) then I turn it after the other side gets browned. If its not done this way, there's a meltdown.
Its been this way for a month. Over and over and over again.... sometimes morning noon and night.
So I will do the beginning part, but by the time I throw the unbuttered side on the griddle I hand him the spatula and tell him he needs to finish it. He has been doing it, and likes doing it, and I thank god because its my little way of making him be independent....
I get so tired of this sometimes..... hopefully yours will get thru that phase soon dee. Mine has been doing this kinda stuff for years. Its not easy. I send my condolences lol.

Yup, it the Mommy Thing! We get it here too.
I spent 2 years not working and when I started back to work full time it was frustrating. Still is actually. I work from home and the girls can't grasp that when the office door is closed that means mom's At Work and they need to go to their dad for everything. I've been back at work since November and they're still at it. Dad won't do, only Mom can handle thier problems.
In a way it's very flattering. BUt at the same time it's frustrating as heck and drives me absolutely nuts to be right in the middle of a project that's time critical and requires me to put myself into Supspension of Disbelief Mode and have the door burst open and a little voice sceam "Mommy! Can I have a hot dog?"
Although, I have to say, the look on my 7yo's face one time was precious. She came in asking for something while I was editing a sci-fi story's timeline, and I turned to her and said "Doctor Adams is about to be hung by his own followers and the super-warrior Eve's too far away to save him, and YOU want ICE CREAM? At a time like this? ARE YOU CRAZY?? The fate of all humanity rides on Adams being able to complete his genome project and he can't do that if he's dead! Is ice cream going to save him?"
She got wide-eyed and then kinda scrunched her mouth up to one side in thought, and calmly said "I'll go ask Dad." and closed the door. Tee Hee.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one going through this!!! DH is a wonderful dad - he tries to spend as much time with Alex as possible, he's his Cub Scout den leader, etc., etc. But Alex always wants to be with me. He even goes so far as to tell DH he doesn't want him around sometimes. I don't get it.
A couple months ago, Alex performed with his class in a show one evening. DH met us at the school since he was coming straight from work. Even though I told Alex that he'd meet us there, once he saw him in the audience, he shielded his face during the entire performance (we didn't understand why he was doing this until we asked him why after the show). It was the weirdest thing.
