Sitting here…

I’m sitting here in a bra and panties with cholesterol stuff in my hair. Waiting 15 minutes to get into the shower.

The Wizard of Oz is on.

The spawn is running wild.

…With a string…

…The cat is chasing him.

Fun fun life I lead! Ha.

I need to buy jeans. And I have the money to do so. Just don’t have the time. And I want to get my nails done. Again, I have the money. Just not the time.

How do I find time.

Please … if anyone else figures it out, let me be the first to know!

“Awesome”

Zach’s new word. Haha. He says “Mommy, that’s AWESOME!” It’s so cute.

You know, there are seriously some things you never thought you’d say in your lifetime … until you had a child. I find myself saying things like that all the time. A couple of these things I’ve caught myself saying today would be …
“Get the cat out of the garbage or mommy is going to get mad.”
“Get OUT of the dishwasher!”
“No, you can’t fly, not even with your blanket.”
See? These are normal mommy things to say. I’ve learned. It’s not just me. It’s really, really normal!

However, I’ve also found myself talking to C the same way this past week. Yes, prepare for a laugh (but not this part!). His car is having “issues,” as he puts it. It’s the water pump. He needs a new one. It was overheating and the belt was screeching and he doesn’t know much about cars and was throwing a tantrum. Of course, I guess being his “special friend” I had to hear all about it. Right? Sure. Okay. That’s truly okay with me. I listened to him whine and throw fits and all of this until his friend finally looked at it to see what was wrong with it….
Then we started aWHOLEnother playing field. We got into the whole “I hate being stuck at home” blah blah blah. He tells me about how he can’t even walk to town, and he feels helpless. And so “SCREW IT!” He says. “I am about to cry!I’m going to walk to town.”  …. So of course, here it comes. “I understand you’re frustrated but it’ll be okay. Don’t cry. And you can not walk to town, either.”

Yes. That’s it! Do you see something there? A pattern. Haha. I got a good laugh at the poor guy. But it’s okay. He didn’t try to walk to town. And he didn’t cry either.

Now it is Friday today. I am extremely ecstatic about this. It means only TONIGHT. Then a whole weekend off! Woohoo! I’m going to see C in the am after work.
And next weekend he is spending the weekend here. Ohhh boy… Get ready for this!
So.. as you see.. things are going great with him. I really like him a lot. We’ve talked about that. Not official or anything like that. But we’re “Special Friends” for now. Yes, kinda lame. But it’s okay with me.

One more thing I learned today… I REALLY need more jeans. Time to go shopping.

Mac N Cheese

I’m here. That’s all. Just here! I don’t know what else to say about all that. I’m here and I’m hungry! Someone come cook me some food!

….The weekend went great. I like him more than I did before. Oh boy oh boy! Things are seriously going great with C.

He met Zach. All worked out great there.

Again, not much time today, but I *promise* I will do a long update one of these days…

Don’t worry ’bout me steppin’ all ova ya feet!

Sooo yea my friend babysat Zach Sat night/Sunday morning. She had music on. He told her, “dance, Tas!” she said she didn’t want to dance.. he said “well MOMMY dances!!”  … haha makes me feel loved.

Tonight I start my backpacker training, I believe. Fun fun. It is pretty fun though. I like it. Plus, after I pass the test, it’s a 50 cent raise! Now that’s pretty damn good!

My weekend was awesome. Zach met C. It all worked out good. I’m glad. Hopefully next weekend he’ll come and hang out here on Sunday. I’m happy with him! It’s all good.

Sorry so short! I need to jump in the shower and load the dishwasher and go to work. Blah.

Cat liter everywhere

So the devil child is in rare form today. This is for damn sure. Not only does he not listen (of course this is a daily defiance thing) but he is just into everything. Sure, it’s a normal two year old thing to do. But who can deal with that on two hours of sleep within 24 hours? …Not me! So anyhow, he goes upstairs to the loft. Mommy yells at him …. Zach get down here now. He runs. What else is new? It is not a game to me though!!! ….Chases the cats. Again, mommy yells. …Follows the cats to the LITER box. Again, mommy yells. Louder this time. And THEN the tragedy happens …. somehow, and I won’t mention names, the whole liter box (including kitty goodies) are spilled all over my floor. So then mommy really starts yelling. Zach is REALLY running now. I’d probably run too if I was him with a sleep deprived crazy(er) mother. So um yeah. Anybody know how to get cat liter out of carpet?  ….I tried everything. It just won’t work. And after about an hour of crying and yelling and stomping around, throwing my adult temper tantrums …. I still can’t get all of it off the floor. I don’t know what to do.

On top of all this… I swear, there’s got to be some kind of scheme to let me not sleep … and the whole world is involved. The world likes me sleepless. I am telling you. I’d even bet money on it.

This weekend…

So this weekend is Kaitlen’s birthday party. Now, being the best friend of the mommy of Kaitie, I get recruited for decorating! Mind you, this is after working 10-6 every night Monday – Friday and averaging 4-5 hours of sleep a day. So Friday night/Saturday morning (technically Saturday) I get to come home after work, get maybe 3 hours of sleep … maybe. Then get up and get ready for the party. Help Sarah get ready for the party. Maybe she’ll watch Zach so I can get some sleep during the day.. but highly unlikely. We will probably be busy, I am sure! The party is at 5. I’m kinda excited about it a bit!

Other than that… I’ll go home. Get a shower. Get dressed. Go out! Tas and Jose are going to take me to meet up with C. Excited about this! We are meeting at the bar. Tas and Jose may go in to have a drink with us. Then I’ll leave with C. We’ll go back to his house, probably watch a movie, spend some time together, ya know. I’m spending the night there this time. Then Sunday his plans are for us to sleep in and then go out to breakfast. Then he’s driving me home. He’ll be meeting Zach as well. Probably spending some time here or whatever then he’s going home to watch football.

I’m really excited/nervous this time. I don’t know why. It’s very odd. Not like I don’t know him! But all the better, right? Butterflies is a good sign… right?
