Day 22

This has been a very long weekend.

It started off as usual, on Friday’s I work until about 6 p.m. When I got off of work, I did the usual running around with the kids and we went to dinner. (It makes a huge difference in your eating habits when you know that you’re not the only one watching your weight, others are watching also.) But I then did a few errands and came home to lay around until it was time for me to call Adrian… ahh, what a conversation we had. Sometimes I wonder why I bring certain conversation topics up… I have to learn to prepare myself for anything that might come with certain topics... LOL
So we had the normally GREAT conversation, and then said our goodbyes. Have you ever had to say good-bye to someone that you REALLY didn’t want to? I hated it. Something was just a little different about this one. Ill pray on it…

Saturday morning I had the greatest surprise.. Adrian called me to give me my wake up… (Can you say Cheshire smile..LOL) he has a way to bring a silly smile even at 5 in the a.m., our morning conversations are usually a lot calmer…so it’s always good to hear from him in the morning… LOL
Saturday afternoon I spent at Jalen’s ball-game. LOL... I still don’t know why a parent would put herself/himself through this year after year. I arrived about 2pm. The game started approximately an hour later they sang the National Anthem. So here we are, first game of the season and I’m already bored. LOL. It’s just not the same. When Jalen played in the minor leagues the kids rallied and the adults actually got into it. Now the parents sit in their cars the whole time and the kids are grumbling about how much longer.. (mind you they are on the field playing as they say this..)
About 10 minutes after 6 we finally were able to pull out of the ball park. We won the game, 12-1. Good job fella’s. Hopefully the rest of the season goes as well.

I decided to stop by my friend’s house to visit for a while, knowing before I got there that she and I would argue about something... LOL. It wouldn’t be our friendship if we didn’t. So on this already long day we decided to cook a few things on the grille. She actually had her brother in law cook and the teased me about being an anorexic or bulimic. LOL. Now if you know me at all, you’ll know that I am far from either. But let the joke begin. No biggie. As the evening progressed, I realized just how close it was for me to call Adrian. So I helped them clean up and told them of my plans. Jalen decided to stay with her boys so that he wouldn’t have to go with me on Sunday to Sign Corp.

I got home and I had missed 13 calls... LOL... all from the same young man looking for my son that wasn’t home. Geez, I never get phone calls. I got in the shower and called my favorite guy. We didn’t talk long because in my opinion, the conversation just didn’t flow. I know that he has a lot on his mind, so I try not to bring the small things up. But I wish that he would talk to me about things that are on his mind. It seems that we only discuss things that are relevant to me. He did however bring up the fact that he changed his MySpace page around… I was flattered… that’s another subject. Well we knew that Sunday would be very busy for me, so I hated saying those dreaded words… but all good things come to an end. I intentionally went straight to bed so that I wouldn’t cry myself to sleep. (We all know that I’m way to emotional)

Well finally Sunday rolls around and I’m up and moving at 5 a.m. (Am I crazy) and driving to Indianapolis at 6 am.. (Eyes still barely open...LOL) It was already a long weekend and I still had another 15 hours to go. I have a really good friend that helps bring a smile when she see’s that I’m not having a GREAT day. Actually I showed up at Sign Corp in tears.. it just wasn’t a great one.. I don’t know why… I just know that I wasn’t feeling it. I actually even told her that I didn’t want to go. She wasn’t going for it, and I appreciate that. I needed it. Sign Corp is important to me... And I would have regretted going later. We arrived in good timing, and we performed terrifically. (Not my opinion, others from the Church said so..LOL) I was impressed with the friendliness of the church members. If I lived in that area, I could see myself attending more often. So we packed everything back up and headed to a friends home for a picnic of sorts to pass some of the time away between performances. Once everyone ate, and the kids got dirty, we loaded everyone back into their respective vehicles and headed back to Logansport. Geez, we still had another 4 hours to go before I would be headed home. The Logansport performance went well… and the kids actually listened to me for a change. I can see Aubrey warming up to me a lot more.. (God is soo good). She and I spoke the whole time…I even think that she might like me... LOL
We finally got to head home about 7:45 p.m. I still had to go pick the kids up and get them settled for school today.
To end the evening, I called Adrian just to tell him that my day went really well, but as usual I woke him up. He doesn’t seem to enjoy it as much as I do. So I’ll try to figure out a different time to call him. Our conversation was very short… actually it was only 5 minutes in length. He didn’t seem like he wanted to talk, and instead of hold him on the phone I wished him a good morning, and told him to stay safe. I let him go so that he could get his day started and I could get some rest. Never the less, I didn’t go to sleep right away, actually I didn’t go to sleep until about 2:45. (Well that’s that last time I looked at the clock). There is just something going on and I cant quite figure it out…)
So here we are today, and the students are just being awful. I just keep telling myself that there are only 18 days left until school is out.. So I can handle it. We will see…

Stay Blessed….
