lonely, i guess that's where i'm from

soooooooo tired.

i have managed to wake up but i didn't want to. i thought if i slept till tomorrow that maybe i would've - a. caught up on sleep, b. less emo and 3. felt better in general.

i'm not saying i don't feel good - between hanging out with my kids yesterday; the bittersweet feeling when vin cries when i leave and um - meeting a guy (kinda) i had a really really good day.

we went to see doawk and at the second-to-last-minute zrg had a change of heart and let brae come. that was sweet - although it really wasn't a movie brae could get in to. zrg loved it - he finished the book a few weeks ago so he was really really into it. he knew all the parts and that made this mamma proud.

then we went to barnes/noble and i got zrg a book about the presidents and brae a batman/joker combo - that bn is most definitely in the heart of henrico where i have gotten in trouble over and over so when they tried to leave the store without paying - all i saw was blue lights, social services, tray food and courtrooms - i told them we had to pay like it was a foreign concept.

and then we hit up friendly's - those kids made me laugh and laugh. brae is finally at an age where he can stand up for himself and zrg likes to be hit (kinda) so it makes for a win/win (sometimes). we had dinner and ice cream before i took them home and went in to dress the babies after their bath.

yknow - vinnie is sometimes my most favorite kid in the world (1. i know i am not supposed to have favorites but i do. 2. i know you thought it was always zrg but it changes everyday) - but he really really loves his mamma and when i take the big boys from the park to wherever and his dad comes he cries and cries - and yesterday he cried when i left for the movies and i know i shouldn't think that's a good thing (like ever) it makes me feel like vinnie is "getting it" - and well that puts him right up there with zrg (see - somehow i knew this would turn full circle to zrg) :P

and the dude.

after i dropped everybody off i went downtown to see this chick who has rented space for tattooing. she does custom work and is booked up till august - so i thought i might try and get a spot and lo and behold - i got a spot in october! fuck.

anyway i was talking to this dude who just got a piece and it was beautiful. he came from kentucky to get it - and he was going home today. he opened the conversation up further by commenting on my visionstreetwear tshirt (something jdg commented on too) but he asked if we could text or something and it hasn't stopped.

he told me that i would be sick of him because he's a world champion (aka stalker) texter - i told him he might of met his match.

i'm worried about him though - he has read every single page of my blog on his drive to bedford kentucky.

weird right.
