More of stupid Cortina

Camilla is suddenly the nicest person on earth today. She does not apologize, but she smiles very nicely and says good morning. She cleans up and makes breakfast, dresses the girls and makes their beds. I dunno. Last night was pretty bad. I think something happened that set her off and she took it out on me. Maybe she’s mad because her husband is never around.

I am hesitant about her now. I didn’t think she would act like that towards me and she obviously feels bad. Today is Sunday and I’m not supposed to work today. I work all day, of course. If things don’t return to normal in Rome … I will say something. If the situation is still bad … I will leave.

I take Peter to a new playground today. This is a great spot. It is a playground in the snow, but the ground is firm and the toys are great. It’s a sunny day and he doesn’t cry at all. I packed a lunch and he eats everything. He went down the slides and he loved the swing set. I am much happier if he is happy. It’s a lot more difficult if he is crying.

We left the playground around 1 p.m. He slept all the way home and once at home he slept until 4. I cleaned the entire house while he was sleeping. I mopped the floors, cleaned the kitchen and wiped the windows. I cleaned the bathroom that I use and picked up the children’s rooms. Camilla came home with the girls at 4:30. She didn’t even realize I cleaned.

Tonight Camilla went to pick up Federico from the airport. She left at 5:30 and came home at 9:30. The girls had to finish homework. Great. I had to help with homework, watch Peter, make dinner (not supposed to cook while watching children) ??????? give the kids a bath, put them to bed, clean up toys. I have absolutely had enough. I need to be told thank you. This better be over once we return to Rome. I hate to write such awful tales, but I am not happy. I’ll try to make the best of the situation, I guess.
