so....i didn't leave the house till 5pm yesterday.
my car was in.... it needed a new rack and pinion...... it had been sitting in the yard for about three months.
the mechanic took about an hour longer than he said he would.
i then found out that i had a separated tire.....
i don't know what that means.....but it's not repairable.
so ......dad took me to les shwab...... where ...by the way.... i was asked out by a decently adorable tire guy.
but..i was headed out of town to see my guy.... so i turned him down.... even though technically i have the ability to date other people.
ANYWAY...... i got the kids stuff together..... cause the two littlest were coming with me..... i was dropping them off at my sisters for the night.
oldest is staying with my parents....cause she's quiet as a mouse and can take care of herself......she just needs adult supervision cause of her age.
ANYWAY.....so i took off later than i'd planned.
MUCH later. *sad*.
it was sooooo foggy.
ridiculously foggy.
but with every mile behind me i could feel that knot in my back between my shoulder blades that has become such a constant companion that i barely notice it anymore just start to melt away........by the time i reached the floating bridge it was virtually gone.......i couldn't turn on the radio....cause middle had a headache.....but they were good and we were all talking and having a nice time.
I got to the ferry....and low and behold the first truly good thing happens that day.
just as i was paying for the trip and pulling into line.....the last of the cars are unloading....which means...it's barely a five minute wait before the waiting cars start loading WOOHOO!!! sometimes i have to wait an hour or more.
and the fog lifted....so that was good.
i drive to my sisters......they recently moved so i called for directions....
i'd been there once before but couldn't remember the way exactly.
the directions were unclear....so i called back ....this time my brother in law answered.
i CANNOT decifer his accent sometimes when he's standing right there....so on the phone it was hopeless.....he stutters slightly on top of it.....so i gave up and decided to find them on my own.
so long as i can find this one particular school campus i'm fine.....i can find it from there.
so i drove around the area a bit and found them.
unloaded the kids.....got their pajamas on them....tucked them in....and took off.
called the guy...... "FREEDOM!!!!! I AM FREEE!!! FREE AT LAST!!!!""
he called me cute and told me to call him when i got there.......approx. 2 more hours of driving at this point.
he still lives with his ex.......yes i KNOW you were just talking about this UNI and how much it freaked you out when that guy was still living with his ex.....
they don't share a bed....or even a room. he lives in his sons room. .....it's financial....i've already posted about his rotten job luck.
ANYWAY.......his ex hates me......so to avoid problems i don't go over there when she's there. I love her son.......she takes me being there out on him. ....he's only just turned 5. I don't care that she hates me for my sake.....or for the guys sake......but for the boys sake......i avoid her.
so anyway....i get there about 5 hours later than i had originally intended to.
*sad*
so we really didn't have a chance to go out and do anything.
i checked into my hotel. and the receptionist commented for the third time that her sister lives where i live....so we joked about htat....cause she always says that but never remembers me.
the guy called to see how i was doing and said he couldn't leave cause the boys mom wasn't home from work yet. she works nights
i was going to wait for him ...but then i remembered his christmas present i was bringing him.
*laughing* thick cut deli specialty peppered bacon.
yes....crazy christmas present.....it was frozen when i left....and now was merely really cold.
so i asked him if i could at least bring that over.
he said cool.....so i went over to his place.
his son was getting into bed when i got there......after hugs and kisses and him showing me his stuff.....and his latest star wars jedi moves. ....and talking about ben10......he was in bed.
we snuggled up on the futon in the living room....horrible thing and got all cuddly......he was rubbing my back and stroking my hair. made me feel SOOOOO much better.
stuff started happening....... :P
ANYWAY....we'll skip that part.
*blushing*
so....then it was time for his ex to come home so i made an exit back to my hotel room to wait for him. ...we'd planned on more cuddling and some special time together.....
usually he doesn't show up till 1 or 2 am......but then it got to be 3......3:30......4.....and he still wasn't there.
i'd taken a shower...and went to sleep knowing that he'd wake me up.
anyway......he never did.
called me at 10am.....sayin that the boy had woken up right after i left......and that he'd cuddled him back to sleep and fell asleep with him........and how very very sorry he was. :(
i figured that had happend......i was disappointed....but i hadn't cried about it like i usually do when that happens...cause it does.
anyway.
so ....i checked out of my room and went and got breakfast. and drove around town a bit.....
he does have a part time janitor job he does on the weekends and he was at work till 1.
he calls me and says his ex isn't leaving for work till late....so i'm just glad i had a book with me.
i went over to his place......and i was reading my book while he was finishing something with his friends on the game they play online.
then he and i and the boy started playing video games together.....
soooo exciting i know.
anyway. he asked if i could watch the boy while he ran some errands....i was a little disappointed but said sure.......i just have to leave by 5:30 so i can be at my sisters by 7 so they can go see a movie...... they haven't had couple time in MONTHS.....this is repayment for them watching my kids overnight.
so 5:30 rolls around and my sis is calling me asking ifi've left yet......i can't leave till he gets back and he's not back.
he didn't show up for almost another hour.....BUT......he's got a serious job lead!!!! YAY!!! so it was worth the extra hour.
anyway.....sis and hubby went to a later show and out for pizza....she founda place that has gluten free pasta and pizza so she was excited to try that.....
ANYWAY......so here i am....typing away on my sisters laptop.
kinda bored.....but reflecting.
even though it wasn't the passionate exciting weekend i'd had in mind it's been a nice break.
i'm not looking forward to going back.....but i can handle it better than i could before i left.
i've GOT to move.
