Beck and Call

Okay, so I haven't really heard much from Michael lately...but when he does call, it's like he thinks I have to be at his beck and call. I'm sorry, don't get me wrong, but when did this become Michael's World? Like just because he doesn't have a life, I don't either. Like I don't have two kids to take care of by myself...I don't work...I'm not taking classes...
I was sick last week, then my mom got it, and I thought it bypassed the kids. This weekend I spent some quality time with Elijah making cookies. I was supposed to take my History exam Tuesday but was shown grace by my professor due to my illness. So now I have more time to procrastinate...I mean, study. I was hoping to do that yesterday, but got a call right when I walked in from work. It was the daycare saying Mikey was...well, to spare you the details...sick. I really didn't see anything out of the ordinary, and just thought it was teething and they were being cautious. Then he went down for nap at 3:30...and didn't wake up until about 5 am! Okay, maybe there was something there. So because of that mess, I was told he has to stay out for 24 hours. So I've been home all day, another day not being able to study.
I was planning on studying while he slept, but that has yet to happen...and it's already 2:30!!! He actually did sleep, but only for a half hour and I hadn't even cracked my book at that point. Oh the aggravation! Even as I type he's peeking over baskets with a stupid grin on his face...(If I knew where the cable was, I could upload the pic.)
So in the midst of all of this chaos, Michael called 5 times, not counting the cell phone. And there may have been more just without leaving a message because our phone is broke...just the machine. Every time it was "something important". He asked me why I was so hostile towards him lately and I told him that I feel like he thinks I should be at his beck and call...at one point, he asked if I could call him back in five minutes because he had to pee...I asked why and he kept saying, because I have to pee...okay, that's great, but if you don't have anything else to say to me, why do I have to call you back?
Then he tells me that the probation office is going to violate him because he hasn't paid his fine...the fine that he told me, just $80 and then it's paid off...so now I'm in the whole because I spotted him the extra to be done with--and avoid more service charges. You would think that since he paid off the one at the beginning of the month, they would give him grace period for the remainder.
Sigh!!! Anyway...'Tis the season, eh???
Back to the rugrat...as soon as I get the pic uploaded, I'll update the post.
