Day three of living at my cabin for the summer:

May 18th 11:00pm

I'm ready to strangle both of my uncle's who are here, my 14yo sister, my brother and his friend. But my parents, aunt, 17yo sister and two best friends are absolute angels. (And my baby sister and cousins are too cute and little to be mad at.)

I got home tonight at 5:00 after leaving for work at 7:00, and having only gotten 4h of sleep after last night's shift; only to find out that my uncle hadn't even swept the mouse droppings off the floors, or gotten rid of the mouse poison, or cleaned up the soot that was piled up around all the un-sealed windows (wildfires last summer were nuts and almost got the town) or washed the dishes (some of which have been rotting in the sink since Sept when he locked up for the winter) or started the washing machine full of sheets needed for tonight.

My aunt and other uncle had arrived with their little boys (4yo, 3yo and 1yo) while I was gone and they were trying to get everything cleaned up, but their efforts were limited by the three toddlers running around their feet and trying to put mouse poison in their mouths. So, without even sitting down for a minute, I began frantically helping my aunt clean and keep the boys out of everything (the older two refused to understand why they were only allowed in the kitchen, and the baby is too little to understand) while both of my uncles spent the whole 2h that was going on setting up the patio. After a few hours my dad and brother and his friend got here, and my dad started to help, and got the babies out of the house by setting up the trampoline. But the two 11yo boys were monsters who refused to do anything to help and yelled at me for asking.

When my mom and the girls got here it had been 8h since I had eaten at my lunch break, and I hadn't sat down since then either; I was exausted, stressed (because guess who took their ADHD meds today!) crashing from my meds wearing off, and I couldn't feel my hands from cleaning so much. I rarely cry, but I almost burst into tears when my one best friend texted me about the fact that she's taking care of my dog for the weekend, and then again when my 17yo sister handed me a bag of books that our other best friend is lending to me for the summer (all but two of the Lemony Snicket books on my headboard library are hers and I'm so excited to read them for the first time/first time in years!!!!)

After asking my 14yo sister if she could vacuum the upstairs and getting yelled at in response I completely broke down and started hyperventilating and dry-sobbing (I honestly don't know why I physically can't cry) and instantly was wrapped in hugs from my mom, aunt and 17yo sis until I could breathe again. And was told to go sit down and take a break by putting my books away, while my mom put dinner in the oven and she and 17yo sis took over cleaning.

But 14yo sis had done a less than half baked job of vacuuming (how do you miss huge piles of mouse poison!?!) and I got in another fight with her, which caused me to breakdown again. Then my uncles got mad at me for having a breakdown despite the fact that I still ended up cleaning while hyperventilating and trying not to punch both of them in the faces.

At that point my Mom sat me down on the couch and told me I was not allowed to clean for at least half an hour no matter what my uncles said. By then almost everything was done and everyone was taking a break to eat a very late dinner, and open my baby sister's birthday presents. Yes her reaction to opening her Slytherin robes and wand was as dramatic and over the top as expected, as my ears are still ringing and she immediately put her outfit on and started trying to levitate our brother.

Tomorrow I have the day off and plan on sleeping in late, before spending time playing with my 4 tiny minions who are running around the cabin. And I do have to work on Sunday and Monday, but I also get all my birthday presents and leftover cake from baby's party on one of those two nights, as no one will be here for my birthday in a few weeks.
