survey

Sunday Night

/ life, survey, weekend

Another weekend has passed. Went and got Aidan from my mom’s yesterday. He was being as silly and cute and sweet as ever. Getting back into mommy mode is always a challenge after these long breaks, though.

Yesterday, I finished reading Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, and now I’m reading Pretties. Specials is ready for me to pick up at the library, so I’m going to do that Tuesday. They’re very intense books, hard for me to blow through like I do with most YA novels. Interesting stuff, though.

Today, I watched The Covenant. It was predictable, but the guys were hot. Not a favorite, but it was enough to pass the time. I had a pretty lazy Sunday. Reading, resting, sitting in the glider while the electric heater blew directly on me, curled up in a blanket. It was restful. I didn’t get bored until the middle of Family Guy this evening.

I blew a fuse yesterday evening. Or tripped the circuit breaker. Whatever it is. I was typing away on the computer, enjoying the really warm air from the electric heater on my toes when PHOOOM. Half the apartment went dark. “Nice,” I muttered. Then I noticed night lights glowing in the other room. I knew then that I’d tripped a circuit. I fixed it and vowed to never put the electric heater on II again. This place can handle I, but not II.

We got a lot of snow, so driving tomorrow is something I am not looking forward to. Everything is prepared for work tonight, so tomorrow morning, I won’t have to rush, and I will probably need extra commute time. The freezing drizzle has me really nervous. That’s the dangerous, scary stuff. I hope the roads are okay by the time rush hour hits.

Lots going on in my mind. Just a lot of thinking I need to do. But scared to start muddling through it all. And paperwork. I’m so gosh darn sick of paperwork. Seems like there is always a problem and people want to point fingers instead of owning up and taking accountability and getting things resolved. I just know I’d like to RELAX fully and completely for once, but I can’t because there is always something to worry about, some issue to deal with.

And God do I need a massage. One of those ninety-minute ones from Gentle Wind by Heather Lane. I just need some Reiki, Swedish and deep tissue. Mmmm. I’m all tied up in knots and it hurts.

But anyway, before I go, here are a couple of surveys.

/ aidan, conversations with aidan, mommyhood, survey

I wasn’t going to do this, but Rosa had to go and put my name in the “two people who will fill this out” section, so of course I had to. Yeah, yeah, that’s it. It’s all HER fault!

I had the BRIGHT (not) idea to go to the mall today with Aidan in tow. GRUMBLE. What the hell was I thinking? He was fine the first half of the trip. We looked around a few stores, he played in the Zoo Court, and asked cute questions. THEN, he turned into little MONSTER Aidan. I thought he was hungry, so off to the food hall we went. Oh nope. He threw a tantrum there, and we came home. So I figured–oh, he’s tired, we’ll just take a nap. Sure enough, he was falling asleep in the car on the way home, but of course, something happened in the 30 second transition between car and bed. He woke up and proceeded to be annoying for 90 minutes. *sigh* So that means I’m still tired, and I am hesitant about going out later because he didn’t actually nap which could mean yet another meltdown, but I’m so antsy and really not wanting to stay here all day. *sigh* So now what?

Although, the places I’d go this evening would be places that involve shopping carts, so he’d be somewhat restrained, anyway. But man, he and I do more arguing than I’d like, which is frustrating. I try to keep the upper hand, but he always has the last word! And sometimes he’s so unreasonable. For example:

Ronni: Aidan, stop yelling.
Aidan: YOU STOP YELLING!
Ronni: Aidan, I’m not the one who is yelling.
Aidan: YES YOU ARE! NOW STOP IT!

o.O

So whatever else happens, whatever fun thing he was doing gets taken away when he speaks to me that way. I am NOT trying to have my kid on Jerry Springer or something in a few years cussing me out up and down the coastline.

Anyway…

Now it smells good here because I just made Aidan a pot pie. Ugh, I am so freaking tired. 🙁 No rest ’til tonight/tomorrow, though. I think we will head out to a couple of stores tonight, though, to keep me from going stir-crazy.

Later!

The Seal Has Been Broken & Other Randomness

/ christmas, music, survey, thanksgiving

I TRIED to wait until Friday, I PROMISE, but you know, I’m starting to feel the spirit a bit, so I decided to go ahead and play some Christmas music. I also thought I’d wait until Friday to start holiday shopping, but nope. I ended up picking up a few things at Target for Booba and some other people. Considering the situation, I am definitely going more frugal this year, but that doesn’t mean the gifts I choose will be any less personal or special.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!! It’s going to be weird, I’m not going to lie. Those of you who read Chris’s journal will know why. But I’ll make it. And Friday I get to see my mommy and my little Booba, who I haven’t seen since last Friday, and I miss him! I’m glad he’s with my mom, though, because he’s so happy there. All he could talk about last week was how much he loves his grandmommy and how excited he was to see her. I love calling her and telling her about that, because it makes her so happy. She’s thrilled to be spending Thanksgiving with Aidan again.

I walked to the post office today to mail a letter (starrlyte, watch your mailbox!) and buy stamps. It was a pleasant walk. Nice weather. Then I came home and lit a Nag Champa and for some reason, I sneezed about 10 times. It was weird. I’m okay now, but still. That was so strange.

I booked a LONG trip to Chicago in February. I was planning on going anyway, but not for as long as I ended up booking it. February 9-18, 2007. It’s going to be a busy week. So much going on, with book releases and 30th birthday parties and all sorts of other things. I’m really looking forward to it. It’ll be just the perfect thing to break up the endless Ohio grey days.

I managed to get ahold of a copy of the Philly Dylan concert I attended. I listen to Desolation Row over and over because the arrangement on it is just so freakin’ amazing. I also keep listening to Tangled Up In Blue and Highway 61 Revisted. It’s fun to think “Wow, I was sitting in the audience and bopping my head during this song!”

Tonight, I will be playing on the computer, journaling, and writing letters. Reading, relaxing, all that good stuff. Should be peaceful.

And of course, a survey.
