good morning.
i am sleepy today and want to go back to sleep. i have been off for a couple of weeks and have gotten nothing done. i need some motivation or maybe just some assistance from i don't know who. ugh! i had that headache for the longest time but it is finally gone yay!! i had to up my meds and that finally got rid of it.
so today is my mama's birthday. i was going to go visit but it turns out thursday will be a better day to visit. she will finally have her new house which has been quite a mess trying to get into so i am happy for her about that. so addie and i will go visit her in her empty house on thursday. that will be kinda fun, actually.
so last night was interesting. addie and i had a bit of a battle of wills. she has been throwing a little fit every night at bed time and won't go through the whole "nite-nite" routine so I finally got mad yurned off her light, shut her door and told her enough was enough and that she can't have any of her night time privileges if she was going to act like a brat every night. She didn't like that at all. so then she stopped screaming and started crying and then we were able to actually talk to her about how it hurts our feeling when she acts like that at night, blah blah blah. It went well. But then she wouldn't go to sleep because I let her nap to late. Ooops. Then I went to tuck Ethan in andsay prayers and he was being difficult and I was trying to talk to him and what made him happy, sad, worried and he wasn't giving me any answers and so I got upset with him that he didn't know what made him happy and so I started going through his room saying I was going to start taking everything since it obviously didn't make him happy. he started thinking of things real quick then. Then we ended up having a good talk and he finally broke down about the move, which i knew he wasn't happy about but he'd never really gotten upset about. So, that was good. Now if only Derek and I could have a real conversation about the move we'd be set. he is still coming up with stupid ways to get out of the move. his new plan is to do a sleep study or something and get some kind of weird profile (a medical reason to not go anywhere). I don't know what his deal is. Yay for counseling. We still need to buy airplane tickets for him to fly back there but he keeps telling me a weekend but not dates to fly and doesn't understand how the flights work...now i'm thinking I should just go back there because he's being ridiculous about the whole thing. he thinks he can do everything on the weekend which just doesn't make total sense and I'm just frustrated. ugh!! Stupid boys!! He can sure get his 3-day motorcycle trip planned no problem though. i love it!!
so today i have to go get cpr recertified. i still haven't gotten laid off from job. not sure what that is about. i'm supposed to get a call from hr at my work, but i haven't gotten it yet. no complaints from me. the longer the take...the longer i get paid, ya know? i'll take it.
so, things are good in my world, i swear things are not just a pain. my parents came to visit this weekend which was nice. they live so much closer now, although they are in a motel at the moment. they came down sunday night and hung out and weren't in a hurry to leave, which was awesome. i loved it. saturday i will be leaving to go to michigan to see my dad's side of our family. i haven't seen most of them in 6-7 years. it will be a lot of fun. my cousin is so worried we will be so bored. i'm not sure how bored we can get in 3-4 days. it will be fun. i'm excited about it.
okay, i'm getting sleepy. i'm gonna go. iwasn't gonna nap, but now i am. i'll chat soon.
chris and linda - sounds like you guys had rough weekends, beginnings of the week. i hope your weeks do nothing but go up from here.
Linda - i have to get a plumber too. ugh! no fun at all. i'm putting it off a little though. i need to do some clean up first. i hope it is an easy fix.
chris - how sweet that gary let you sleep in. sounds like you have a list of crap going on though. maybe if you drink a bunch of vodka you'll wake up and it will al be fixed? okay, maybe not, and maybe alcohol doesn't fix anything...but one day i'll have a drink with you and we can act all stupid and not care about any of our problems for a day and it will all be okay and we can say "The hell with it" and take care of it tomorrow cuz I'm pretty sure it will still be there but we'll have had fun that day, right?? Maybe once I move to NC, I'll drive to VA, get Linda then drive up to NJ and we'll just hang out for a long girls weekend. So, when you have a crappy week look forward to that weekend gathering, which will happen this year, and it will all be good. K?? Love ya girlie!!
Andrea - Yay for the Army fixing their own mistake. Unheard of!! So, hot and humid and then yucky and rainy? This is what I have to look forward to, huh? great!! LOL!!
Okay ladies...I'm off.
