My FIL is still here and when Jamey got home today they were hanging out outside and the kids were playing happily so I thought to myself..."Yay, I can read for a few minutes inside!!!!" WRONG! During the 30 minutes I attempted to read Riley came in twice with flowers she picked for me that I HAD to put in water ASAP, Riley came in another time with a package she needed me to open...I honestly do not know why Daddy or Pop Pop couldn't open it...she walked up like 17 steps to ask me to do it, Riley came in yet again and announced that she had to go to the bathroom and to make small talk, Sam came in once to get me to completely change him because he had gotten wet from head to toe including shoes this process included trying to find him some dry shoes that made him happy which was not easy to do, Jamey came in just to ask me if Riley's teacher had sent home her tuition envelope today, Penny decided she would lay beside me and constantly lick her butt which makes a very gross sound so I made her get down but then she just started pacing around and the sound of her toenails on the floor was grating on my nerves.....so I just gave up!!!!! It is so crazy to me that no one can stand the very idea of my relaxing for a few minutes...even my dog wants me up and about.
Now we are getting ready for dinner and hopefully my children and dog will go to sleep and my husband and FIL will be watching Monday night preseason football in complete bliss. Then and only then I will be able to read in peace and quiet!!!!!!!!!
That sounds like the story of my life! They probably aren't doing it just because they think you shouldn't have a quiet moment off your feet. It's probably more like they are clueless that you have any needs/interests other than serving them constantly. Pure ignorance. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you got some quiet time in the evening.
