Some Days are Tougher than Others

Today was one of those days – It started with my grandson running around the house, locking himself in the bathroom and refusing to go to school because he didn’t have time to put his hair in a Mohawk for picture day.  I made the mistake of letting him be online and asking him after he started his video if he wanted to fix his hair.  He said no, but promptly changed his mind when it was time to go.  Then the teacher had to call my husband because our grandson was acting up in class and was not going to be able to take his computer exam because they were out of time.  This was the first time the school has called about his behavior, but they have sent home lots of notes.   All I can think is “life isn’t fair” and sometimes you know “life really isn’t fair”.   Why am I raising my grandson when my friends are all off having empty nests?  I want an empty nest, I want to be a grandmother, I don’t want to deal with all of this nonsense.   I have had to work hard not to have a complete pity party today.  I have had to remind myself that everyone has bad days, everyone has hard times and we just have to get through them.  Today is my day to press through and know/hope tomorrow will be better.
