I'm so f* tired of preparing for the holidays, with DS's allergies, DH demands and my lack of time I have spent the last 2 weeks running errands for a holiday I don't even want to take at all.
It doesn't matter that I have spent so many hours:
- searching the internet to find some special bedding to help keep DS asthma under control during hotel stays (it just goes wild if he is not sleeping in his bed)
-Finding food to take for the holidays as DS is just short of being allergic to air.
-
Searching for a dog walker as usual one couldn't do it, rang every single respectable kennel and finally found one that could do it, just to be told yesterday she can't. I have arranged for another one but he is just moaning that it's too expensive.
-
I wanted to stay in a hotel and without asking me he asked some friends if we could borrow ojne of their apartments in a more "permanent" basis. Friends kindly agree and to my HUGE embarrassment they won't allow us to cooperate with the expenses of getting it furnished! but asked to provide a list of furniture and models I would like and they would get it for us . So... I have spent 2 weeks searching stores to find furniture that can be ordered also in Spain and trying to convince said friends (without success) to allows us to pay the expenses.
-We have said we would spend some days by the beach and he has been shuddering at each one of my hotel suggestions, however, the budget he planned to spend would be enough to pay for half a bed in a hostel 345 years ago.
-I have cleaned the house several times, preapared all the clothes to go into the luggage and find gifts even for his family, who can not be more hostile to me if they wanted.
-Finding DS a new school and arrange for everything just in the week we are leaving for holiday.
-
Spend a huge time going from a doctor to another in order to get a letter that help us to get a permission to get Epipens is our hand luggage. And for medicines alternative to the syrup one DS needs to have always with him.
-
I have yet to send more details to new school, talk to the nursery about DS changing hours, pick up letter from the doctors, return a damaged telephone to the provider, send some wall paper samples to a client , send a letter to cancel DS's place for next term Tumbletots, send a get well card to previous dog walker, clean the house and write instructions for the new dog walker tour this evening, bake puddings that DS could consume during the holidays, get more food for the dogs and a cake because it was my birthday last week and I totally forgot to take one to the office ([bluff]), cancel a place in another preschool, do the packing. Get DH medicines from the pharmacy, and all that has to be done before 6 o clock today as I'm working tomorrow and he ahs just told me that he plans to work tomorrow even when we are meant to leave at noon!
And all this to see his hideous family that are so mean, ofensive, and rude! wonderful! I feel like trashing the house and telling him I'm not going!
And what is DH's idea of pre holiday things to do:
- Shuting down his laptop
- Stand by the door and say "HURRY UP, you always make us late!"
