so.
it's friday and boy have i been busy.
working took up much of the week - but then again i was in jersey last weekend buying - dun dun dun - a minivan?
and then on thursday i got to take the kids out (sans jason) - for the first time eva. we went to mcdonalds - you wouldn't think that i was as excited as i got - but it was really awesome.
tomorrow i'm picking them up and we're having a sleepover - where we have the freedom to go to the park, the drive-thru or even the grocery store. the point is that this move is giving me freedoms (responsibilities?) that i didn't anticipate so soon.
amen!
whilst in jersey i made an effort to make amends with my sister-in-law - (note: NOT jdg's sister) - some of you may remember how i completely fucked every relationship i had when the disaster of 2007 occured and how now (and slowly) even people are coming back into my life (van, kids, family, friends) - (responsibilities) - it makes for trying to be good an honest-to-goodness real go.
speaking of kids - (heh) - braeden and zakkary wrote their letters to santa (ok, ok - i wrote bdg's) - but he wanted and wanted this bigfoot doll - so he's always my 'problem' child to shop for.
last year he wanted rescue heroes - he told santa that was the ONLY thing he wanted - so of course the fact that they stopped making rescue heroes in 2003 made it a lil' difficult.
but with the power of ebay it was easy.
the bigfoot feels like it may be the cabbage patch of 1984 - or that tickle me elmo - so i went to buy it now. now braeden - braeden - braeden - one-hundred bucks dude?
done!
he always takes backseat to zakkary and gives up everything for the twins.
so christmas morning (pictures coming) he'll be a happy boy.
me? i've been happy (enough). between trying to work a little bit more (to afford bigfoot dolls) - (or keyboards, or new bikes - yes these are items on lists) or even trying to beg zakkary to let me teach him to take his medicine (it's NOT gonna happen) (see: thank god they make concerta in a patch!) or even entertaining my first company or even making friends with some people at work (seriously).
i haven't had that pleasure since the early early years of 2006 when i left the credit union. i even started crafting some of the kids' teachers* christmas gifts (trivets).
even after working all day - i came home and cleaned my house and went grocery shopping, hooked up with a friend visiting his mom in hospital and made it home in time for some murderous 20/20 - morning star turk-ish burger and blogging (finally).
a picture dump coming soon. :)
