Ok so I know this is a very random post, but do you ever just feel guilty? After trying for 5 hours off and on (ok 4 hours) to get Taylor to sleep (first a nap, then for bed).... she was FINALLY passed out cold at 9:45pm. At about 9:50pm (no joke) our nice 15 year old neighbor kid and his buddies fired up his buddy's 4-wheeler. Yep, up and down the street, circles in front of our driveway- it was SURE to wake at least one of the kids up. After the stressful evening I'd been through, and Jason as well, Jason was ready to call the cops on them.
I decided that I had the moms phone number, as I am throwing a purse party for her next weekend. I knew she was at work, but we were so worked up over this for some reason, I called her. She immediatly called her son, and within one minute they pulled that thing in and called it a night. NOW, her I sit, over an hour later, feeling so incredibly guilty.
1. For calling his mommy on him and being a "tattle tell".
2. Because she was in such a rush at work and not wanting to be on her cell phone, that I didn't have time to explain WHY I wanted them to "shut it" basically.
and
3. I'm not a confrontational person, hence not just walking the 10 feet to tell the poor little kid myself to please stop.
Now I feel guilty and embarassed- BUT it's 11pm and my kids are still asleep! Anyone else ever feel that way? Like if ONE more thing goes wrong, if ONE more minute of your night is filled with stress, you'll simply explode? Well, that was me tonight. I knew if they didn't stop, and one of our kids woke up, or I even had to listen to that outside my window (which is in fact open as our air is off due to the cool weather).... I'd go absolutely APE on this poor nice kid.
We really do like our neighbors- kids and all. This poor kid babysat for us a couple of weeks ago actually! He's a very nice kid, and I feel so badly for calling his "mommy" on him. But then again, Jason wanted to call the cops, and said he would have if I hadn't called his mom... sooo mom or cops?!
Ok vent over. Happy Friday night to you all, and I hope it was much calmer than ours! =)
