How dare she! The nerve of some people!

I thought I was going to enjoy another break from the in laws this week but instead I endd up dealing with the other type of "in law" taking over...stepson's girlfriend. I have in the past few days come to understand why MIL's can seem so miserable. 'Girlfriend' and I normally get along but she has been really...well she's been trying to take charge and run everything. Last night after I cleaned the kitchen I found a big package of frozen ground beef on the counter. I had no idea why it was there but figured it belonged in the freezer not the hot kitchen so I put it back. An hour later she wanted to know where it went, I told her and she acted all annoyed, stomped to the freezer and took it out again....that was around midnight last night, 13 1/2 hours later it's still sitting there. Normally, they stay up all night long and their room is across the hall from mine and the walls are thin so I hear every movie or video game (or them them arguing) all night until they finally go to bed, usually after 4-5am. Then they sleep until 3-4pm. They took off early yesterday morning without telling any one (I remembered later she had a dr. appointment), but were gone until after 5pm. When they did get here the went straight to bed until 10pm and then were up until nearly daybreak. Now, I'm a mom so I sleep light and my 5 year old has a hard time falling asleep if there is any noise. So between him not being able to sleep until 2am because of the tv, the little one waking up at 3am, s/o's alarm clock going off at 5am, and then all the little outside critters waking up at dawn...we slept in late today...all the way until noon which gave me about 6 hours of sleep....interrupted several times by stepson and girlfriend coming and going, slamming doors and his obnoxiously loud car. I'm a person that needs sleep, so I was not and am not in the happiest mood right now. But what really got me riled up and prompted this discussion was 'girlfriend's' comment when she walked by my bedroom the last time...I was awake but laying in bed with the sleeping baby..."I can't believe they are still sleeping this late!" all in a snotty, disgusted voice. Argh! How dare she criticize me when it's their fault no one can sleep around here unless they are gone or sleeping...telling them to quiet down does no good, I can't count the number of times they've been yelled at already. I think their behavior right now is in retaliation for the "talking to" stepson got yesterday about a lot of things. He doesn't think he needs to follow rules or do anything as asked and it's all gotten way out of control...which I knew it would but I didn't get to have a say in how he was raised... I think I'll be handing this problem over to his mother to deal with...maybe the two of them can go stay with girlfriend's parents...then I could move into step son's bedroom which is twce as big as the shoe box I share with two other people now lol
