Today has officially gone to hell in a handbasktet. I didn’t get anything I had set out to do done. How come the best laid plans tend to go awry and in such a spectacular fashion? And what is it about teenagers that make a parent feel like their head is going to explode? My teenage son has driven me to rage too many times to count but today takes the cake. It takes the cake and the plate it’s sat on. I had earmarked this blogpost for another story but that one’s gone in the crapper too, at least for today. This post is gonna be about a mother’s rage.
I had plans for at least 3 weeks to take my son to the doctor for a follow-up on his allergies. He decided to wait until the very last @$#ing minute as I was about to walk out the damn door to tell me he needed to take a shower and I said no and that it was too late. That turned into an argument. When he came down in shorts with a smirk on his face, I thought I was about to blow. Needless to say, that turned into a giant argument. On what level of sanity is wearing shorts in winter acceptable? There is @$#ing snow on the ground outside. Only a@$#ing fool would run around in shorts this @$#ing time of year. He was totally uncooperative and then added salt to the wound by crawling back into bed. Needless to say I was irate a this point. I’m still angry as I write this but that’s probably obvious. As he is well aware, I have a horrible temper, so it’s best not to press my buttons. I was so angry I thought I was going to destroy the house in a Jerry Springer-like fashion. I have never been that angry in all my life. Well, maybe one time comes close. The time he ate four @$#ing pints of my Ben & Jerry’s ice cream while I was sleeping. That was indescribably rude to say the least and talk about pissing a mom off to no end, but I don’t want to even get started on that. I felt more enraged today than I did on that day. That says a lot. This teenager thing isn’t going so well for me so far. Unlike Elmo, I ain’t got the moves.
I just don’t know what to do these days. Every time things seem to be going smoothly everything blows up in my face.Yesterday and the day before was a piece of cake and today he took it. What is it with the cake today? I think I would feel better if I had some. There’s definitely something to the power of suggestion, but I’m not about to bake one a 3am. Well, I’m off to get some much needed rest. Ciao 
Eating ur Ben and Jerry’s ? That’s not good. Not to mention like 4 bucks a pint.
It’s a thankless job being a parent. But it will get better, I promise.
You just don’t know how pissed I was about the ice cream especially at those prices. I had stocked up for the summer and I was shocked that everything was gone. It’s hard to finish 1 pint. How on earth can you eat 4? I he would have taken 1 probably would have let it go. I hope you’re right Steve.
Feelin’ better now? Sometimes it just helps to VENT!! Ya know what I mean!?! Get It ALL @$#%ING OUT!!! …. I hope you have a Shea Forest Cake kinda day tomorrow.
He is the most difficult child. It does make me feel a little better to vent. mmmmm……cake.
‘Like’ Gotta do what ya gotta do.
And it’s Black Shea Forest Cake…
