We had a very late night last night partying for my birthday.  I think we ended up in bed just after 4 am.  Our wonderful son decides it's time to wake up for the day at 6 am so I get up with him.  Then our daughter is fussing around but not really ready to wake up yet at 7 am.  I try to get the husband up to go sit in the living room with Bret Alan (because he's just going to fall asleep out there anyway like he always does instead of watching the kids) so I can be in the bedroom with Halle to give her her binky instead of coming in every 2 minutes but he won't get up.  I can't get his attention at all.  I was physically punching him, laying on him, screaming in his ear and he was pretty much dead to the world.  When he finally realized I was trying to get him up, he got mad at me and told me to leave him alone.  Whatever. 

He had to be at work this morning at 9.  I told him 3 times he needed to get up to go to work but he ignored me.  So around 9 I put the kids down for a nap and I got back in bed to try to get some rest myself.  I told him one last time to get out of bed and go to work and he still ignored me.  Oh well.  It's his own problem now.  Well he owns his own business and his dad goes and opens the shop in the mornings and then calls our house 8 times to make sure Bret is out of bed and on his way.  (I hate this family.)  I think I heard zombie man get out of bed around 10 and leave for work but I went back to sleep. 

So I just checked my messages on my cell phone and there were 3 from my father-in-law saying if we wanted to stay out and party late I needed to be able to get Bret up and get him to work on time.  Excuse me?!  I'm not his mom.  I tried.  He's impossible.  His parents ought to know that.  If they're mad about it now, they should have done their jobs as parents when he was growing up and taught him how to get out of bed on his own and become a responsible adult.  I'm not raising him.  That should have been done already.  If his dad doesn't like him not coming to work on time, that's something he needs to talk to his son about.  This is why today is a pissy day.
