First of all, for the record, today reminds me why next year, when we're gone in the RV, we will NOT be coming back until March. Stupid ass Minnesota. SO not going to be here. Gross.
But I love this morning anyway. It reminds me of soft, quiet days. Light the candles, have a fire in the fireplace all day long...the kids wanted to get up and eat and go outside before "the storm" hits. Yesterday was so nice to have just my own kids here. Which I suppose makes sense. I'm watching other people's kids ALL. WEEK. LONG, and to only have my own and not have to worry about anyone else's...awesome! Well, Payten's here but she's practically mine anyway.
CJ and Josh had a BLAST at the Swarm game. Josh really likes lacrosse. <---note to self. I don't think I could ever put them in basketball and so far none of them have asked. Far too many games and crap to be going to all the time. I hate football- CJ loves it though and I might have to cave for one year. He's still all over it even though one of his cousins isn't going to play again (damn, I was hoping that would sway him!). I have no idea how parents do it, especially when there's more than one kid, and more than one activity going on. Where is the family time???? When is the down time? WHEN DO THEY DO HOMEWORK? No way. I would never keep the kids from playing in a sport they really like (even though I really want to) but I simply cannot see putting them in everything and anything. CLEARLY kids do better when they are in a sport. It keeps them out of trouble, puts them in a "team" setting where they need to do their part to support the team, etc. All that is good. If I only had ONE kid, or TWO, it'd be different. There are FOUR here and I'm tried just imagining all of them being in something at the same time.
Anyway- Josh likes Lacrosse. HAHAHAHA!!!!
I had the best snuggly dream last night. It was just snuggly- you know that snuggly feeling, when you curl up with someone, and it's not about the sex. It's about wanting as much of your body to be touching as much of their body as possible. It's magic. I got that, all night long. It helped, since going to bed without my Cullen made me cry. They were just out of Grand Island Nebraska (Trade Secret Salon 7735, the biggest franchised Trade we have...oh, Pure Beauty now...is there. Shoot me for knowing that.)(One of my favorite managers EVER, Jo, worked there for ever. Her grandson lives with her. He's 15 now. He was 6 when I first "met" her. She told me about how she was getting concerned with his bladder because he couldn't stay out of the bathroom, and he took his backpack with him wherever he went. She finally went through his backpack. Playboy. hahahhaha THAT is what we're in for, ladies with sons friends. HAHAHAH!!!) on their way to Cheyenne, Wyoming.
The coffee is just getting finished. Today I will go clean Suzanne's house, and resist buying an overpriced coffee. I will resist because I just made some. Who needs the expensive stuff anyway, dammit! I will clean, and then the kids and I will go get more crickets. And THEN...oh, f*ck me, I have to go stop by and see my mother in law. This stresses me out. More than likely she will be sleeping. Either I can call and talk to Tool, or I can just show up and get "stuck" there with him. Both make me sick and I might avoid the situation all together. I love her and I miss her and if there were any sort of guarantee that I'd get HER...I'd go. Hm.
Okay. What else will I tackle today? Throw more shit away. Yes.
HAHA Julia just came in, crying. She was curled up on my lap telling me what was wrong. "My hands are cold and CJ and Payten and them are playing school and now *SOB* I miss the fun parts of school and I can't go back til Tuesday!!!" hahahahahahahah! If I could capture that and keep it for later....
Tonight after the kids are in bed I will write some more of the book. Go, ME! And if you haven't YET checked out damnyouautocorrect.com, GO DO IT. Funniest site EVER. Michelle had me crying from laughing, and sadly (?) after she left I kept it up for another hour by myself.
CJ is doing mathtime with the kids. They all love learning time. YAY!
PS- first knock on my door of the day from Chuckie: 9:22am. My rule is not before 9am, which he has obeyed. But COME ON. Oh well. I let him in. CJ is now doing school for him too. Payten is doing her 2nd grade math stuff. That poor girl is going to be bored out of her mind in school
Enjoy!
