Mother's Day here was nice. Husband had to go to work early for a bit that morning but brought home breakfast (hummus!) and a nice card. My stepsons texted me that morning without their Dad prompting them to do so. Yay for technology! It was a lazy day.

Now, as lazy as I can be, I like to know what the hell is going on. Like today.

Husband tells me that OldestStepson(16) is staying late after school so I don't need to pick him up early. OS texts me and asks me to get him because instead of staying late to exercise, he wants to come home and do homework. Okay. Good decision, kid. I go to pick up YoungestStepson(14) and am waiting and waiting and waiting for him to come out of school when OS calls and tells me that he's pretty sure YS has basketball practice today. A call to Husband confirms this and I go home.

This annoys me. I know I do a million things that annoy him but if I ask him to do something or know he's going somewhere for me then I'm sure to let him know exactly what's going on. I'd never hear the end of it if I let him sit somewhere for something and had told him the wrong time.

This morning he said, "You're going to the dinner tonight, right?". WHAT dinner?! The dinner at the school for OS's baseball team. I ask him if he's sure there's a dinner and he says yes because he had to buy tickets for it. Then why in the world didn't he tell me about it when he got the tickets? I need a couple of days advance warning to put my Soccer Mom face on good and tight before doing something like this. But, yes, I will go and smile and make small talk with everyone because Husband knows everyone and is on the Athletic Committee.

And the house is just such an overwhelming mess that I don't even know where to start. We're getting ready to do some remodeling and furniture is all over the damned place. I just want to go to bed and pull the blanket over my head.
