So, I'm sorry if I haven't been around much this week... we had family visiting... read... driving me absolutely crazy! But have no fear, the countdown has begun... less than seven hours until they are on a train headed back home! I don't mean to sound... well, crappy... but OMFG! It's just unreal... I mean, if I took my kids to visit somewhere for a week, I would be all over them to pick up their stuff, and not leave a mess everywhere, and be quieter, etc... but I swear to you... I have picked up more empty juice boxes, and toys, and shoes, and just general disorder... they took the batteries out of my remote control! You know, the one they left on the living room floor that I had to pick up, while putting the couch cushions back on the couch the right way :wacko:

Anyway... so I haven't gotten ANY writing done because of said visitors and because I worked some unusual shifts this week so I'm exhausted and refuse to write crap... (unless it's already crap and then someone should just tell me so I CAN write while exhausted) But, I just HATE that!! I have this whole story growing in my head and I want to get it out on paper... or computer screens, whatever and I just can't, but, it's like.... I'll be driving along, and all of a sudden I'll see something or hear something that will provoke a whole scene, it could even be something as simple as a single word... like the other day I heard the word chauvinist.. and a whole scene flooded my imagination and all I could do was try to remember some key points till I got home and could make some notes.

So my son taught me a new rhyme he learned at school, along with motions that you obviously can't see here, but it's too cute...

Cluck, cluck red hen, have you any eggs?

Yes sir, yes sir, as many as your legs.

Have one for breakfast, and have another for lunch,

Come back tomorrow, and I'll have another bunch.

::Giggle::

So the boy my daughter has/had?? a MAJOR crush on... I mean, we're talking DESTINY here people!! They are meant to be together because they are both left handed and both have nine letters in their first name... and you know what that means right? Right.. we saw him walking home with his new girlfriend on Friday... She shrugged it off while I sat appaulled that these are eleven year olds... and growing up WAY to fast for my taste... and then dutifully decided that they were too young for all that.

So my angel is off spring breaking... and hopefully not going too crazy around all the hot boys he's with but I miss him...

And my sweetie had a whole week off and he rescued me mid-breakdown about the visitors I mentioned at the beginning.

So last weekend, Rich had to help his brother move into a new house, and I had to work so he had the kids with him. Naturally, when I got off of work, he wanted me to go pick the kids up from him, and since I had never been to the new house before, I looked up the directions online... and you have to go on a street called Gay Way to get there So when I get there Rich and all his friends, most of whom I had not met yet, were all joking about how they got stuck on Gay Way so I commented that Gay Way isn't such a bad place to be stuck right before they told him, "Dude Rich, your wife is the BOMB!!!" Which of course made me giggle, until later I realized that they must have went all typical male fantasy on me, and assumed I was talking about me with another girl, not them with another guy...

Anyway, I'm off tomorrow, and with our visitors going, I am gonna spend a loooooooong time in bed tomorrow Hope you all are having a good weekend...

Hugs and snuggles,

Viv
