So the weekend was just amazing. My NLIG got into town about midnight Thursday. Will and I greeted her with a glass of wine while the children (who had of course woken up) trashed Chupies room for the first of many times.
The oddest thing about being in the same room as my NLIG is that we are the same size. Rarely (read-never) am I in the same place as someone as small as I am. I noticed myself thinking �Damn, she�s really tiny� only to immediately realize �Dumbass, you�re the same size��It�s an odd thing we both find ourselves doing.
The rest of the weekend was very low-key. We lazed around the house watching Rachael Ray on Friday, went to Target on Saturday and then headed out to my step-dads house that night. Sunday morning I made a big breakfast and they left about noon. Like I said, very low-key but we all had a great time. The children got along great (as did the adults, even BD was sociable and chatty)
So this week I�m supposed to be throwing things out and packing�even though we don�t really have a place to live when we move. We have �leads� and that�s at least better than nothing.
Apparently it is Cut Your Grass at the Asscrack of Dawn season again, one of my least favorite of all the seasons really. Everyday there are at least three photocopied fliers from random lawn care companies stuck in our door. Does anyone actually make money doing that? I know the crackhead that wanted to rake the lawn last week didn�t have any takers, at least not on our block.
There was a spider in my coffeepot yesterday morning. We are under attack by them. The other night there we six on the kitchen ceiling and I�m pretty sure I have one living under my computer monitor.
Last night Chupie was �sad� because her request for candy was denied so she made a big mess in her room. She even told me �When I�m sad I make big messes�. Frankly I think she learned the �make a big mess� thing from the NLIG children since she hardly even played in her room until they got here. It will actually make it easier to weed out the crap toys when I get that far.
I am attempting to organize some sort of painting/packing party for next weekend or so. I have a few small projects I need to finish up here in order for us to get out security deposit back so I figure I�ll rally the troops and ply them with pizza and adult beverages.
Anyhow, I suppose I should go do something productive. My energy levels are super low because I didn�t take my supplements and vitamins for four days so it takes extra effort to do anything.
