Not much is going on around here. The schedule of having the boys here during the school week and at the coaew’s on the weekends seems to be working out pretty well. It’s weird to not have them here every other weekend but it’s better for them this way. They will be here next weekend because she’s going away “to celebrate an important occasion”. I believe it’s her anniversary. I’m glad.
I want them here for two weeks at a time and then at her house every other weekend. I’m greedy and selfish and I miss them on the weekends. It kind of sucks to only see them during the week while we are all busy with work and school. I like doing fun things with them too. We’re not even a month into this schedule and she needs a weekend away. Good. It will prove that she can go two weeks without seeing them when it suits her.
I’m a bitch and have no care for the feelings of their biological mother. So fry me.
BB has a weight lifting class this year and I know he’s fixing to get huge. Like, Jolly Green Giant huge. He’s already a bit over 6 feet tall and over 200 pounds and he sleeps a lot now. I swear, I can hear him growing. The boys just started the fall baseball season and are able to be on the same team with the way their ages fall. This happens every 3 years or so. It makes it so much easier when there’s just one practice or game to go to. I’m glad that they aren’t always on the same team because they are so competitive when they are that it’s crazy around here for a couple of months. They were comparing things that they had done years ago on the drive to ball practice the other day and BB said to me, “Don’t you love sibling rivalry?” and LB remarked that being on the same team really brought it out in them. At least they notice.
The cough that I spoke of a couple of posts ago is going strong. I’m going to the doctor this week to knock whatever shit is in my head out. I’ve taken to sleeping on the couch in the area of the house that’s the farthest away from the bedrooms so the boys and Sweety aren’t disturbed with my all night coughfest. Tiny Dog doesn’t even want to sleep with my sick ass. But it’s okay, I outweigh her and am able to put her in a headlock and force my love on her.
My Mom is on Facebook. That is so weird to me. She left me a message. Hi Anna I read your facebook.Love Mama I think it’s cute. I just taught her how to save phone numbers on her cell phone this summer and here she is mastering the internet. Now, Facebook is the sanitized version of me. I was on the phone with her over an hour yesterday. I think I’m a little homesick. We start doing our vacation bids for next year tomorrow at work and I’ll start daydreaming about my next vacation home. And yes, yes…I like my life here. But it’s always nice to go back to where I came from.
*For crying out loud, man! Breathe!

I feel a tiny bit bad about being an “evil stepmother” but 99.99% of me doesn’t. BB is excited about being here for 2 weeks because he mentioned it as soon as he saw me today and said it had been forever since they’d been here on the weekend.
I started cleaning up my FB act when the neighborgirls (10, 12, 16) became my “friends” on there. Mama just makes me even nicer.

You are the Best Bestest “Step-Mom”…In reality, you may not by their Birth Mom…but you are their True Mom! May that lady (?) need lots of weekends away…..!
I dearly hope you get that cough figured out with the doctors help, and get it “gone”….! Take care, my dear.
I love that your Mama is now on Facebook…..Did you hear that line of Conan O’Brien’s? Twitter and Facebook merged and it’s now called FACETWIT! LOL!

I really can’t wait for the boys to be here this weekend. It’ll be nice to be able to just chill out and not have anywhere to be.
Pretty sure the cough is caused by a sinus infection. Going to the doc’s tomorrow so I should be right soon!
Heh, Facetwit or Twitface – they both about sum it up!

I just love how you described BB’s growing spurt as ” I swear, I can hear him growing.” That is priceless! I am glad that you are such a wonderful loving and caring mom to the boys. You will never know what you have done for them by loving them like you do and accepting them. Awh… you are such a sweetheart.
I hope you get your vacation time when you want it. That is neat about your mom being on FB.
Hope that you get over your sinus infection and your cough.
Enjoy your life… because it sure does fly by fast.

The boys growing and eating! I’ve always heard that teenage boys were eating machines but thought those claims had to be exaggerated. Nope. They are always hungry!
I’ll put in my time & cross my fingers! I’m thinking next year that Sweety & I will have more vacation time alone instead of with everyone.
The doctor fixed me up yesterday with something that totally dries my head out so the cough goes away & antibiotics. I’ll be glad to be able to breathe normally again!

I almost had heart failure when my Dad joined facebook, but thankfully he’s keeping a low profile. He did it just to keep up with us.

I only have a Facebook account so I can be friends with other people. Far to many co-workers and other acquaintances are on FB for me to really be myself. My parents don’t do much if anything on the computer; but everyones else I know does.

Most of the friends I have on FB aren’t “real life” friends. I’ve hidden my profile so people can’t find it because I really don’t care what someone I went to school with is doing.

My entire fucking family is on Facebook…. real parents, in-laws, aunts, uncles. Whatever. You name it, they’re friends with me. That means every time I post “Today is so great” it translates to “What the fuck! I need a stronger drink.”

Poor puppy! LOL. I wished mine would take a hike, he’s a pain in the ass. LOL.
I agree that it is always nice to go back home, just for a little while until the family reminds you of how disfunctional they are and that’s the reason you left in the first place :)
Hope you feel better.

Tiny Dog is learning that she has to earn her keep here. Part of that is comforting me when I’m sick. She retaliates by dragging her ass on the carpet though.
Yeah, after a couple of weeks of being “home” I’m ready to come home to my own bed.
Yes! Feeling much better! I hope this isn’t temporary!

Maybe he’s just there to spy? My Mom sucks at using/checking her email but has sent me more mail through FB’s service than I’ve ever gotten from her. (Um, which is a grand total of two.)
