Crossroads

I was in the car listening to my XM radio yesterday and a new song by Bone Thugs 'n Harmony came on. Wow, I had no idea that those kids were still around. It did bring back a flood of memories of being 16. I sent Leigh a text message reminding her about that song. I remember turning 16 and driving the '89 Corolla around town with her and listening to the CD single. The same song over and over again. I don't know why we liked it so much. I pulled up the video on youtube.com and watched it. It's what I remember but I still am clueless why we liked it so much. On top of that when I looked into the song more it's a song about Eazy E a rapper from way back when. Doing some searching come to find out he died from AIDS back in 1995. Hmmm... if I only had a clue what it was about way back when.

This week has been a little hectic and semi-uneventful. Lee on the other hand has been working his booty off. The corporate trainers got in on Tuesday and have been working hard. His big boss has been in town and then the head of the entire corporation came in on Thursday. Friday they opened up for lunch for the first time as a VIP event. Special invitation until Sunday. It's a practice run for everyone. I went for lunch at the tail end of the shift on Friday. The food was great and there was a lot going on. The trainers were going over things w/ the servers, bussers, etc. I find it really interesting to see how it all runs. Honestly though I could wait on people better than some of the Russians they have in there.

I didn't do much of anything today. Okay, I worked my butt off on the laundry and kitchen. I'm so sick of seeing laundry everywhere. How in the world can we go through so many clothes? It's freaking insane. I was trying to straighten up everything. I know Lee is going crazy with work but it's frustrating that he just strews his clothes and everything all over the place. This morning before he left for work he was printing off papers for work and the ones he didn't need he just literally threw them up in the air. It's driving me nuts. He just has no regard for things. Then he wants to complain about the house and 95% of the stuff in the bedroom is his. Tags, metal hangers, plastic to dry cleaning, socks, shirts, pants, boxers, towels, papers from work, misc. papers from insurance stuff, old job interviews strewn all over my entire house. His excuse is that he doesn't have time to do anything but the truth of the matter is even when he doesn't have anything going on he does things the same way. It's so frustrating. I don't want to hear another word about the house or anything until he can clean up his act. Literally.

I wanted to get out of the house so badly today but I felt as if I couldn't leave until I took care of things around the house. I did make biscuits this morning (from scratch) and then cooked homemade mac 'n cheese for lunch. When I asked Jackson if he wanted lunch he kept saying mac eese over and over again. It's funny b/c that's what I was already planning to make.

We went over to visit Jana yesterday and he was so adorable w/ the dogs. Carrie's dog, Rio, is an American Bulldog. He's huge. I mean his head is bigger than Mackenzie's. He was a little apprehensive of the dogs, but he had a good time feeding them treats. He kept calling Cotton "Coco". He'd get all excited and started saying "Rio". It was so cute. Although I'm sure between him and Mackenzie they made the dogs sick b/c they fed them the entire box of treats.

Hopefully we can get out of the house tomorrow. The only problem is I don't have a clue as to where to go. I thought about going to the beach but I don't think Jackson likes the sand. When we ate at the Black Pearl the night before Lee went out of town we tried to take him on the playground on the beach but he wouldn't let his feet touch. If we did go to the beach I'd have to put a ton of sunscreen all over him since he's not the darkest kid and he has a farmer's tan.

I want some sun though. I want to get darker. I want color to my face and not just my arms from being in the car. Now little Miss Priss is already dark dark dark. She's so beautiful. She played so hard today outside with her friends. Riding bikes and jumping on the trampoline. She passed out so quickly tonight. Little man caught the end of Chicago with me. He liked the singing and dancing at the end.

I think I'm going to try and go to sleep. I stayed up late last night waiting for Lee to come home, which was after midnight, and he's still not home and it's 11:50. I think I'm going to go to sleep. Get some shut eye and be all bright eyed and bushy-tailed in the morning. Goodnight!
