That's a good color to describe me right now.
A blue beyond the blues.
But not quite the blacks.
Woke up at 1:15 this morning to find Wolf sitting in the kiddo's room. Turns out said kiddo had gotten up about 1 am to watch a movie. *buries face in hands, sobs*
We spent an hour and 15 in his bedroom, MAKING him explain himself. He knows the rules, he repeated them without prompting and even knew the consequences.
Finally got him to admit he's playing with the electronics because he wants to.
I'm almost out of ideas.
Wolf is talking about getting a motion sensor alarm and booby-trapping the hallway, above the cats' level so they don't set it off, but not so high the kiddo won't trigger it.
I'm all for this idea.
Anyhew, we were both still so depressed over this we treated ourselves to a lovely lunch at a new sushi place.
Then Wolf went out and bought cigars.
>_<
I tried so hard to be good. No, we shouldn't spend any more money. But damn it all, how come he gets his treat on top of lunch?
We compromised.
I now own my very own copy of Spirited Away.
And my Soot Sprite is due any day.
I'm still really upset about the kiddo, but I'm working on it. I've talked it out with a few of my coworkers, both childless but very sympathetic. That helped.
The school situation still isn't resolved either. Wolf spent the morning getting him on the list of five more schools the daycare shuttles to. Hopefully one of them will have an open slot. Worst case scenario is nobody has open spots, we enroll him in Samuels in our district and take them up on their before and after school program. It's not as good as our daycare, but it would cover the time we need. Might have to tweak my work schedule a little to make absolutely sure I can get there before six, but hey. It's a contingency plan.
I need contingency plans. They keep me sane.
