This past weekend was insane. Did a freaking ton, and slept very little. I can tell too. My mood reflects how exhausted i am. I am doing better than i normally would be at least. I can still manage a genuine smile, and at the end of the day that makes a huge difference. There are just so many things going on right now that i feel like it is never ending. Every weekend between here and the new year has something planned for it.
This last weekend we had a tournament for a game we play called Noble Armada. It's pretty kool. Spaceship stuffs. But we went over to help set up and all that jazz. Well, i didn't have to be up until 6:30, and instead i woke up at 5. Yeah, it sucked. Then we went over and set up, and hung out for a while. Then brought the girls up and went over just in time for lunch. So we went for a walk down by the lake and came back just in time to go get the girls from the sitter. Then i took them back to the hotel to visit and swim. Didn't get to swim long cause there were a bunch of rude kids in there. So we ended up back in the room with the gamers. I was having a good time, but the girls got a bit crazy. Ended up falling over the trashcan and another dad got on to them (cause they weren't listening to me for shit) which embarrassed both THEM and ME. So i ended up leaving earlier than i wanted. I was having a good time, so it wasn't fair. But i guess that's the life of a stay at home mom. They are my full time job, and i don't get vacation time. It's less than a year away from Desiree starting pre-k, and then i will actually have a couple hours in the morning (or afternoon) to myself. That will make a big difference, i'm sure. I guess we will just see what happens.
Then this week is Ruben's payday. And we are gonna finish our christmas shopping. We really don't have a whole lot to get done. Shouldn't be too bad. Already got a freaking ton done for the females. And sometime this week i hope that the ornament that i ordered will show up so i can actually get the order for my friend done. If it doesn't, i might just see if she will take a clear round one for hers. it's irritating that they are taking so long. I ordered it almost 2 weeks ago. I guess we will find out on that too. If nothing else i'll just trader her two round ones for the one star one she ordered. Just sucks. I hate not being able to find them local. Friday is Ruben's Christmas party up at his job, so we need to get the gifts for that taken care of. Then Saturday i think we are gonna take the girls out to Drapper to let them play on the beach, and try to find some rose rocks. Let them get dirty, get some pretty pictures, and just enjoy the weather. I guess we will see how the weather is gonna be, but it shoudl be fun. And then that night we are having friends over for some games. And of course Sunday is laundry day.
Monday Ivy's christmas holiday exchange stuff is due. They are doing stocking stuffers instead of an actual gift exchange. So that should be better all around. Then the christmas party is Tuesday. Then winter break starts Wednesday the 21st. That weekend is christmas eve and christmas day. The following week is gonna be kind of a week off to enjoy with the girls. Then that following weekend is new years. We are HOPEING to have a new years eve party with some friends and games. But i don't know what's gonna happen. We've tried that before, and it didn't happen. So we will see.
I am ready for the new year. Just have to see what happens, but there are some big plans for next year. I'm not making set in stone plans because they always end up not happening or making things worse. BUT, we would LIKE to take a trip to California to visit with Ruben's bestest friend and her family. We want to go to Gen Con. We want to make semi-regular trips to arkansas so he can take martial arts from our Sifu. Stuffs like that, ya know? I know that next year when Desi starts school i'm going to try to find something to do for work while she is at school. Even if it's just cleaning a house a day. Yeah, she'd probably have to be in latch key, but they don't charge a whole lot and it would only be for a few hours a day. I guess we will see what happens there too. I just know i will want to get out and do something. Gonna be too quiet to be home alone with Ruben sleeping all day and both girls gone. Gotta do SOMETHING or i will go crazy.
I think i'm going to start my own business. Lots of ideas. it will be a few years, i'm sure. But as long as Ruben is paying the bills, it would be extra money, which is always nice. IDK, we will see. Neway, i'm outta here for a while. LATERS!
