I spend all week busy at school with a break in the day to go home, do homework with Avery, get dinner together, just to whisk back off to work until 10pm. I look forward to the weekend and the possibility (yeah right) of getting a few more moments in bed and cuddling with my kids and spending time with them. I am SO sick of being inside and doing crap at different facilities that I could puke, I really just want to be outside in the fresh air, sitting there (I should really be moving but at that point I am too damn tired to give a crap) while my kids run around like lunatics at a park or the beach. This weekend isn't looking good weather wise, this week looks effing fantastic when I have to be inside working. It's annoying. I was even thinking this morning if I could cut some hours at work, if I would qualify for government help again. I wouldn't and its a bitch. So I am left where I am now, spending more then I make every month because that's just how it is.
This weekend wasn't really that bad, they never are. We are just so busy that we rarely get some time to relax and hang out unless we are at my sister's and even then I feel obligated to do stuff and its annoying. Friday night I somehow got finagled into dinner at my sister's instead of the pizza and movie night my boys love (and I love because I get to read for a couple hours uninterrupted.) So that was hectic and busy for no reason at all.
Saturday the boys took FOREVER to get dressed and by the time Eli finally got his swimsuit on and some clothes over it, we were too late to go to his swim lessons (which I had been telling him for over an hour we would miss if he wouldn't hurry up, if not longer.) We went to the beach instead. The water was clearly too cold still, but they insisted they get wet, so I had them roll their jeans up to their knees and let them go in to their ankles. They loved it. It was really breezy and that made it chilly so we only stayed for like 25 minutes but they were so happy. Then my mom watched the boys while I drove to Akron to get my hair done, of course I said this took longer then it did so I could sneak some time in with Justin while my mom took the kids to the library to make some kind of activity thing she signed them up for. The afternoon was great for everyone, hahaha. My uncle made steaks for everyone for dinner and that was awesome.
Sunday the boys and I lounged around the house for a while until it was almost lunch time and we went to my sisters where my mom was just then making a brunch. So we ate with them and the kids played outside for a while. We did a trip to SAM's Club followed by the boys and I going out to Madison to their uncle's for a family get together on their dad's side. That was nice, the kids ran around like maniacs and I really like all of them. I got some pictures. There was some crazy drama with the lady next door and her drunk boyfriend. First he wouldn't leave, then he left, then he came back, then the cops chased him (he had multiple warrants out and I guess when he was gone he beat up his friend's girlfriend and raped her- from what was said, no idea if it was true.) The boy's dad called over there while we were there but only talked to his mother. Which is good as he really hasn't talked to her in months, or longer. He didn't call me, send me a letter or anything. Nor did he do any of that for his kids. If he doesn't contact us by Eli's birthday, I'm really just done with the whole situation. We deserve better then that. By far.
Sunday I wore a skirt and a nice top and Avery asked me why I was wearing that (I don't dress up often.) When I told him it was Mother's Day, he got really excited, got his shoes on and ran out the front door to pick me some dandelions. Clearly, Eli couldn't be left out and did the same too. It was adorable and I loved it. I couldn't have asked for more of them. I had them pick my mom some when we got to my sister's as well. They're sweet boys, I hope that never changes.
