Why, why, why & just
why
I know in my heart that mum thinks she is helping, but in reality, she makes me more work & if I've been battling all day, it's just too blooming much
Day before yesterday I spent 9 hours (with help from a friend), emptied the garage, filled 2 bins, moved lots of things around & knew it would take a few more hours of solo sorting to put everything away properly
Yesterday, it was OT taking out rails & putting up proper stair rails. Next time I slip on the stairs, I can grab them properly and not bounce down
. Mum has something to hold, so hopefully will stay upright
So, today, I thought I'd spend a few hours in the garage again. Carry on the good work
. First, I had to do some "dumpster diving"
, as the rubbish bin was full & wont be emptied for over a week. Mum was wittering about it
Disposable gloves, lots of "uggg" but I took out non food stuff ( I blooming told her not to put any stuff out) but I eventually ended up with 3 bags that will not interest the foxes (I hope) & a bin with some room. Going to be chatting up the bin men next week to take the extra bags
Then I started on the garage, I have 2 shelve units with busted supports, I pulled one out, fitted supports for the shelves, put it back & filled it. Checked if various tools still worked & got a lot sorted. By this time I ache. Everywhere. So let mum have a look at what I've done (she was wittering again) & closed up
I'd found 3 curtains, 2 of which will go in my room
, washed, hung & bought 2 in. The 3rd was still damp
I've cooked, mum laid the table, no knives. Glasses out but no drinks. Same as usual. Half the job done. So it feels worse than nothing done. Then she goes to the lounge & ignores me. Same as usual
I suggest TV, she agrees. She pulls the curtains, half way. I set up a film & she disappers
. Arrrggghhh
Film finishes & I let the dog out, clear glasses, pick up the clean dry curtains so I can hang them in my room & finally block out the "nasty neighbour" lights. But no. Mother has decided to help. She's bought in the one remaining
wet curtain & put it on top of the dry curtains. So now they are wet
I lost it. It's blooming midnight & I'm up for another night in a floodlit room as the "nasty neighbour" puts his lights on, with open blinds & I thought I'd have curtains
. I have blinds, but they don't keep the light out.
So mum has stomped off to bed, telling me I'm not nice, she was only helping as I'd not bought that curtain in, she'd put it with the other two &
what is my problem???
Yay
I'm wrong again
Same s**t, different day
