Well, today was not the best day ever.
Work was OK. Just the usual. Christian took the girls over to his parents' house for dinner, which gave me some time to catch up on some stuff at home. So, not bad
When they arrived home, I could tell the girls must have been acting up, because Christian seemed annoyed and frustrated as soon as he walked in the door. I was trying to get them into they jammies so Amelia could get to bed, and we could relax and settle down for the night. Olivia wasn't having any of it. On top of that, she was being SUPER rude and disrespectful to me, and I was getting really upset. I finally told her to lay down in our bed. No jammies, no TV, no bathroom break. Bed, immediately. Closed the shades, turned the nightlight on, lights out and walked out. Of course she started throwing a fit. As I got Amelia ready for bed, Christian went into our room and started consoling her and babying her, like usual. This of course led to a huge fight between he and I.
I don't know why, but somehow Olivia became really attached to Christian, and Amelia to me. It's always been that way, since each of them were born you could see an obvious attachment to one parent over the other. The problem is that Christian totally thrives on Olivia's attachment to him, and almost encourages it. So, she continues to treat me crappy, and disrespect me, because Daddy always comes to the rescue. It's really upsetting, and we had it out over it tonight. With some other issues we've had going on, this was just kind of the last straw.
I finally just went downstairs, did my workout and watched TV to cool down for a while. By the time I went upstairs, he was passed out, snoring away and I just went to bed myself. Stress, it just seems never ending!
We have couple of nests under our deck, that seem to get used randomly, here and there. A couple weeks ago I noticed the birds coming in and out of one, peeked inside, and saw a couple of Robin eggs. So, I've watched them over the last couple of weeks. There were only two, and those suckers grow fast! Tonight, the nest was empty. So, our birds are gone for the season. Here is their little growth collage...
