It kind of cracks me up how my blog went from being filled with stories of my sexcapades to being filled with stories of what I did with the kid.

I'm okay with it, though.

Especially since Little T is going over to Grandpa T's house on Friday night and Big T and I are going to catch up on the sex we haven't been having. 
Yay!

My head hurts.  I woke up with a mild headache and though it hasn't gotten worse, it hasn't gotten any better either. 

Today, is a nice day.  We're gonna go to the library today and maybe the park.  Maybe a picnic in the park, nah, that sounds a bit over ambitious.  Oooh, and I need to go deposit my check and check my po box.  A friend of mine from back home was supposed to send me a heating pad that her mom made me (she made me one years ago but I lost it last summer) and I just got an email from her saying she sent it about 3 weeks ago.  I hope, I hope, I hope it's here!!

Okay, time to stop being a lazy ass and hop to it.

Ps.  I talked to my mom the other day and apparently her and the aunts (at least 2 of the aunts maybe all 3) are going to come out here next summer.  Plus I talked to Nathan and apparently he and the clan (Kathrine and Byron) are all planning on coming out here (moving out) next fall-ish.  I guess the plan is that they're going to get a place in Portland and stay for the lease then at the end of it they'll be moving out here.  (That's what the plan is, I'll believe it when I see it.)
Speaking of moving... the Terrorist kind of threw me a curve ball last night.  Mentioned something about living together.  It was only a mild surprise because last week when Nate was here he mentioned something about having "dibs" if Lesley moved out (I was joking that she'd be moving in with the boy I haven't given a nickname to yet.)  Which as he said.. It would make life a lot easier.  I would see him a whole hell of a lot more and I'd get the morning cuddle time that I now miss, plus I wouldn't have to get up at the ass-crack of dawn to shower and get up here by 8am* and though I'm not completely opposed to the idea I don't think convince is a good reason to move in with someone.   

* Ass-crack of dawn being 7-730a and "up here" being 5 blocks from my house... but still.  :-)  

Today was a good day.
Hung out in the morning, Little T played video games while I woke up. 
Then we found waffle recipes online and went to my house to make waffles. 

Oops.  Gotta go, it's 8p.  Time for some Tv togetherness time before bed. 
Aww, bed... that sounds delicious.

I'm exhausted. 
The alarm went off for about 40 mins before I could actually function enough to move.
It's only day 2 though. 
I think I'll get into the swing of things after awhile at least that's what I've found when I worked two jobs in the past.  Not that this is exactly a job.*

Yesterday was a good day.  We hung out, played some video games, watched some Tv.  (By Tv I mean some kid shows on the Internet... very boring but he seems to love them.)  There was some mild boundary pushing yesterday but it's all good because I can push back.  I've watched kids enough to know how they act and though in the past (mainly with my nephews) I was a bit of a softie... I've lost that aspect.  Plus, I know his dad doesn't take any crap so why should I?

Today, not so much of an easy day.  Granted, it's early, and the day could still change but it's a whiny day for sure.  That's alright.  I feel kind of bad though, I can't imagine hanging out with an adult all day makes for a great summer vacation.  I was thinking about going to the park today but it's looking kind of cruddy out so maybe we'll nix that idea but maybe not.  Possibly the library too.  He's a big reader, books would be good, I could use some books too.  I've gotta find some non-tv/computer things for us to do. 

I need coffee. 
I have tomorrow off.  That's awesome.  Granted, the T has some court thing tomorrow night so I'm gonna be watching Little T tomorrow night, at least I don't need to go to work, and I can go to bed early and get more than 5 hours of sleep.  YAY!

I'm getting the urge to roam again.  Hardcore.  Roam or Run?  I'm not sure which.  It doesn't matter 'cause I'm going to ignore it but I think (hope) that by acknowledging it will make it dissipate. 



*It is a job, and I mean no offense to any single parents out there but sitting and blogging or watching movies or going to the park with the kid are all things that I would do without the kid.  I have a point here but I'm loosing it somewhere in the muddle.

 

I had a dream last night that I was a heavy (cigarette) smoker.
Thinking I might be able to gain a little insight from my subconscious I looked up the meaning of this (as I often do with dreams.)
This is what it said...

Smoking

To dream that you are smoking, indicates that you are trying to shield yourself and others against your emotions. You have trouble letting others in.

Well, all I can say is, DUH!!
I know this already subconscious. 
Tell me what the fuck I'm supposed to do to fix it.

This not having a working phone thing is very enlightening. 
Not in a very good way either.

NO ONE HAS FUCKING CALLED ME!! 

In like 4 days, my phone has rang maybe three times, two of which were people calling to see if I was dead because they haven't heard from me in a while.  
I'm totally not feeling the love.
I understand that my phone is broken and most everyone knows this and they're probably not calling because I can't actually use the phone if I don't get it at the exact moment that they're calling me but come on!  I have voicemail!  Leave a fucking message, say hi!  Jesus.
Remind me that I have friends outside of the people I work with.
Fuck.

The Good News:
I got my new phone today!  (I haven't blogged about it but my old phone decided it doesn't want to work anymore.  Well, the keys, have decided that they don't want to work anymore.  I can still receive calls but only if I answer it while it's closed... very frustrating.)

The Bad News:
After installing my sim card, memory card and battery into the new phone I powered it up and everything was fine, until I tried to load the memory card.  That's when the screen went blank and would not work again.  Now, I have two useless phones!

The Surprising News:
I called Cingular, they're sending me the newest Razor, and sending it priority.  Yay.  Though it still means it probably wont be until at least Monday before I get my phone.

Stayed at the Terrorist's house last night.
Since Nate's been around this week I haven't seen him much and I missed him, so I bribed my coworkers into letting me leave early, since it was his last kid free night.* 
Got up early, brought him to work, went and picked up my laundry and came to the laundromat.  When I first got here it was silent.  It was so weird.  I've never been to a silent laundromat.  Even if there are no people in it there are at least washers or dryers going.  (I say I've never been to a silent laundromat but I know that's not true because I used to go to this 24-hour one in South Portland that was empty at times... but RECENTLY I haven't been to a silent laundromat... especially not during the daytime.)
Since Nathan's gone that's my official notice to get off my ass and start looking for a new job.  Which I learned yesterday kind of freaks the T out.  (Because I'm playing the role of babysitter to Little T while Big T is workin')  I guess I can't really blame him because if the situation were reversed I'd probably be freaking out as well.  I have a master plan though.**  Lesley is talking about quitting the Caldera before she goes to Singapore so maybe I can just slip in there.  They don't open until 5p  Shifts generally start at 4p and it's a block from the T's house.  Sound perfect to me.  If it doesn't work that's okay, I'll find something that does.  I'm a patient person.***
I start kid sitting on Monday, which means today and this weekend I'm going to clean my apartment and make it more kid friendly, not that we're going to be there often but if we happen to stop by I don't want anymore "Watch me wax your Pole" moments or anything of the like.  I also need to clean out my car.  That'll be tomorrow.  It's getting really disgusting.  There have been a variety of beverages spilled in it and... it's just fucking gross.  This is my kick in the pants to get it done.

My laundry is done, I've gotta go fold it and do productive things.

*Okay so I didn't really bribe them, all I really did was ask if they minded... but "bribed" sounds so much more dramatic.
**We're not going to mention how my last mater plan failed miserably.  I'm glad I didn't end up in Toronto madly in love, I don't think that would have made me happy, well, it could of but now that I'm were I am in my life I don't still wish for it.  Things happen or don't happen for a reason, my original master plan failed for a reason.  Something better is in my cards.  It's like that god song by Garth Brooks... What's it called... Unanswered Prayers.   Anyway, this minor master plan is going to work out awesome, I just need to get all the details ironed out.
***Anyone who knows me knows that that is a total and complete crock-of-shit but I'm also a master of denial.  Which makes anything possible.  :-)

Today was just one of the many court dates that the Terrorist has had to deal with regarding this whole custody battle over Little T.

The difference from today and the other days...

Today, he won!

No more annoying court dates, no more dealing with DHS (I think) none of it. 
Super fucking awesome.

Now I need to go find something to wear that's only mildly dirty so we can go out and celebrate.

Vacation is over. 
Nate is sitting over in the C concourse waiting for his boarding time. 
I'm sitting here at Coffee People waiting for the Terrorist to get out of work... or for me to get bored, whichever comes first.
It's different with Nate leaving.  Generally I'm the one to leave and though I am sad that I'm leaving my friends/family I'm also excited to leave Maine/go where ever it is that I'm going that I don't really get all that sad.  That's not the case today. 
Today it's just fucking sad.

We went shopping today which was fun. 
Got a pretty new dress.  Yay!
Even got a compliment from my coworker when I swung by here to get a drink.  (And use the free wifi.)

Just got a call from the Terrorist.  He's going to be here a lot sooner than planned so I'm going to end this.

If I don't procrastinate to much then pictures of the vacation will be up at some point.

Here are a few things that I learned while Nathan was here on vacation.  (He's still here... leaving tomorrow unless I can convince him to miss his flight.)

• Working while your best friend is in town is just stupid.  Even if it is only one night.  You will hate it with every fiber of your being.
• Taco night is a great thing no matter what coast you're on but when with new people its best to get a variety of bean types.
• Monopalova is yummy.  Especially with Sprite and Sunny D.
• It is not a good idea to go to Multnomah Falls the day after (somewhat) intensive drinking.  Because Nathan will suggest going to the top and neither of you will be wearing the proper foot gear or be hydrated enough.  It WILL suck and it's not even really worth it.  (It's even worse if it's the first day of your period.)
• The Mount Hood Loop is kind of really fucking boring.
• What the fuck is a snow park?  (And why are the majority of the Snow Parks spelt "Sno Park"?)
• As much as going to a clothing optional beach sounds like a great super way to rid yourself of tan lines, it's best to not do it when seriously intensive cramps are present.  And if going with someone who burns even in the shade, it's best to bring at least two sheets to lay on or someones going to be not satisfied with the logistics.

I think that's it for now.  I need to go take a shower and get ready to go to the coast.
