2 week reviewHello all. I know, I'm a total slacker!!! It's been almost 2 weeks since I've updated but I've been so busy w/ S home that I haven't had a chance to even sit and think!
We're having a great time together. We're both readjusting to the fact that she's here. She's been very much a mama's girl for the past couple of weeks while I'm gone to work. It sucks but what am I going to do? I can't just rush home every time she wants me. Only a week left until school starts and then we'll really get back into the routine. There's a fair this weekend in a neighboring town that I was planning on taking her to but now her friend from school asked her to go w/ her family so everything is up in the air. I'd really like to take her. Plus, they just opened a new Applebees up there and S LOOOOOVES Applebees!!!
Things w/ BT are up in the air. Who the hell knows. He really is trying hard and I'm giving him a ton of credit for it but I can't help to think that I'm going to wake up and everything will be back to "normal". It'll happen. No one can change like that over night. He has been so good though, I don't know why he couldnt' be like this from the beginning. IDK. I'm not trying to lead him on but I just really don't know how to act at all. I feel like I'm just waiting for the floor underneath me to cave in. Save the lectures, I already know what I have to do, it's just a matter of doing it... I really don't know if this can work...
My bald pussy...er, I mean, my cat (Mork) has a tan. Yes it's hard to believe but he does. His head and in between his shoulders is striped like a zebra. It's funny. I'll have to try taking a picture.
I talked to my Grandma a week or so ago. She forgot my birthday this year. The first time since I was born. My cousin T's bday is 5 days before mine but I bet she didn't forget his. Granted that this is from my sperm donor's side of the family so I don't talk to them as much as I do my family here. Then again, that's their choice, not mine. I tried for many years and I'm done. I love my gma to death and I know she's getting up there in years so I excuse her for it but not the rest of them. I did get a card from my Aunt (on the sperm donor's side) that lives in FL. I guess my Uncle's cancer came back and he's undergoing chemo again. He's not doing so well. He and I really bonded a few years ago when they came up. He's a good guy. My Aunt was supposed to come up in September or October and drive my Grandma back down to FL because she really shouldn't be driving by herself but now w/ my Uncle in his condition who knows what will happen. I'd love to drive her down there but we'd probably end up killing each other in the car. :) She's an "old school" teacher from back in the day. OMG some of the stories she'd tell him while growing up about the kids!!! Most of them were from a bad part of town. Many of the fathers were out of the picture for one reason or another and most of the mothers were prositutes. She smacked one kid w/ a ruler and broke it and swatted another on the ass w/ her hand so hard that she broke some blood vessels. She'd told the kids that someone better come in w/ a belt the next day because she wasn't going to do that to her hand again. Sure enough, the next day one of the kids had taken his dad's (or whoever the guy was in the house at the time) leather belt in. She hung that right up on the back of the door in the classroom so they could all see it and they knew what was coming to them. The funny thing is that she gained respect from the majority of the kids. I remember being in Meijer or wherever with her during the summers that I was there and there'd be a student wherever we'd go that would recognize her. She'd always tell me that she couldn't figure out who they were since they'd changed so much since they were little kids but their smile always stayed the same. I can't say that I every recall her NOT remembering someone that came up to her after they told her their name. Magic Johnson went to her school and her good friend Pinky taught him. He used to go over there all the time and play bball w/ the kids in the neighborhood.
I turned up the hot tub. It's freaking cold here at night already!!! When did this shit start happening!? One of our customers called today because they're leaving to go back to Southern Cali around September 01. Lucky bastards. All the calls will start coming in now. All the snowbirds will be leaving heading back to FL, AZ and CA. Some of them hold out until after Christmas and come back in May. But the true snow birds will start flocking earlier. Fuckers.
Oh anyway, so I turned the hot tub back up. I guess it'll just be me and S if I kick BT to the curb. He never really liked to sit in it anyway. I think we went out there once besides the time we were in there w/ B&J for 4 hours and I got sick. Imagine that?! Ya, it was fun at the time but not when I got out. I. WAS. SICK!!!! No more 4 hour crap!!! We're going to try having a girls weekend either this weekend or next since my cousins hubby is gone to guard training. I told S that she and L can have kiddie cocktails while me and Auntie will drink beer. :) She thought that was a cool idea.
Well, I have to get going since S is laying down ready for bed.... I'll try updating more often!
