Yep

It is Friday and I have left the property one time. That is it. One time, and that was to go grocery shopping. My life is boring!


Well Tuesday Austin leaves for Ohio. Wednesday he gets home. I have agreed to take him to and pick him up from the airport. He tells me that he told me what time he has to leave and the time that he would be getting back. I say BULL SHIT!! If I had been aware of the time I would have said no. Well I can't change it now so I might want to get over it.


Tuesday we have to leave the house at 3 am. Yes that is in the morning. Then on Wednesday I have to be back at the airport to pick him up at 11:50 pm. So I will get 3 horrible nights of sleep. Wonderful. I have already informed him that he is taking Friday off to help me get ready for VACATION. Then I spelled it out that his only job on Friday is to keep Mason from CRYING.


It seems like whenever I want to do something Mason cries the whole time. I take a 10 min shower and Mason cries. I wash dishes and he cries. Take out the trash and he cries. Don't think it gets better when Austin is home. Nope because he doesn't care if he cries. I have had to get rough with Austin. I don't like hearing Mason cry. Therefore I have explained to Austin that from now on while I am getting ready to go somewhere and he is to be watching Mason that if Mason cries, even little peeps, that I get to ask a question. The beginning of crying is one question and then if he continues to cry for every 30 seconds is another question. Any question that I want and he can't get mad and has to answer it. Last time I got to ask 10 questions. My husband hates questions. Not just nosy questions but any questions. Even if I ask him what he wants for dinner. That qualifies as a question. So hopefully he is more willing to not just let Mason cry. Otherwise he will have a long drive to Mt. Rushmore. 10 minutes of crying is 20 questions and he will have all day to let them add up. I also had to explain to him that he has to be nice to everybody while we are vacation. I think he got more upset about that than anything.


Next Saturday morning about 3 we will head up to Hwy 20 and then go west to Sioux City where we will be meeting the rest of my family to caravan to Rapid City SD. I told him if he is tired of me by that point that I can always drive Mason and he can ride with someone else. He told me no that it will be me riding with someone else. (See what I did there? Reverse psychology;) gotta love me) I had to make him feel like it is his idea. Therefore I will try my hardest to annoy him all the way to Sioux City. I have to be sneaky though. If he finds out what I am doing he will be impossible and I will be stuck driving the rest of the way.
