It's been a week since I wrote last. I wish I could say that sooooo much has happened since then, but my life just isn't that exciting. I did start my new classes...business law and math. Best part is there is a conspiracy guy in my law class. You know the kind...thinks cops are out to get everybody, all judges are corrupt, big oil controls everything, and there was another shooter in the JFK shooting. It's so hard to resist poking him & getting him going on a rant. Two classes may not seem like much, but they're from 530-1030 and by the time I pick up E-Bee & get us home & in bed it's 1115. When you get up at 4 am...that's a veeeeeery late night. I thought I was going to die at work on Friday. Nothing like a warm office & a comfortable chair to make you want to close your eyes for just a few moments.
Friday night was Tiggo Bitty's pre-baby dinner. I love getting together with her because she is a blast. We've known each other since we were brand new in the Navy. Some of the stories we have...oh Jesus. One of the best involves the phrase "Your vagina smells nice". Both of us have been through so much & come so far in our lives. From drunken trips to McDonald's to get double cheeseburgers to choosing a restraurant because our kids can color on the tablecloth, we're completely different and yet oddly the same as we used to be. Our daughters are less than a year apart & our second children will be the same. Her newest arrived in the wee hours of the very next morning. Congratulation Mr. & Mrs. S on your new baby girl! I cannot wait to see her.
Saturday I had a baby shower for yet another pregnant friend. Her third...she's a baby making machine!!! Lots of kids there for Bee to play with, but one who is about to turn two was a bit of a spoiled bully. Bee was perfectly happy sitting in one spot holding her little toy & eating apple slices. The other little girl kept taking her toy which E-Bee didn't react to. My little girl is such a push over sometimes. I kept retrieving the toy & becoming very frustrated with the other mother who didn't think it was a big deal since kids need to learn how to share. When the 2 year old took Bee's apple slice though...my sweet baby swung back & whaled the girl in the face and took her apple slice back. Other mom freaked out of course, but all I could do was laugh. My admonishment of "No hitting E-Bee. Hitting is bad!" probably wasn't very effective while laughing. You can take her toys, but you leave my little fatty's food alone!!!
Sunday I went out for date night with daddy. We actually managed to spend 4 straight hours together without arguing. Granted two hours of it was spent in a movie, but I'm counting it!!! Thanks to preggo cravings I decided I absolutely HAD to have steak so we went to Ruth Chris's Steakhouse & I paid. Expensive but totally worth every bite of that filet mignon. That is probably the only restraurant that when the waiter says the not to touch the plate because it's very hot, I believe them. The fact that my steak is still sizzling on the plate is proof enough for me!
Side note...why do we believe it when somebody says there are billions of stars in the sky, but when the waiter says "The plate is extremely hot", or a sign says 'wet paint' we just HAVE to touch it???
Anyway...since I chose dinner, daddy chose the movie. I groaned a little when I saw which one he chose, True Grit, but was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. All three main characters played their parts very well. After movie we went back to his place & just spent some time talking. I resisted the night coming to an end, but I didn't want to stay too late & be too tired to drive. Before everything happened, it wouldn't have been an issue, I would have just stayed the night. But we're not there right now. As much as I agree that we do need to learn to be friends & build a solid foundation for a relationship, it's very hard to not have all the little physical things we used to share. Like sleeping next to each other or holding his hand while walking. First things first though & we'll have a long future ahead of us to get in all the physical contact we want. Seeing all his things packed up brought a big lump to my throat. I've known for a long time that he would be leaving, but actually seeing those boxes made it seem so real. In just a few months, he really will be leaving and E-Bee & I won't be going with him. I know it's not forever and January will be here again faster than I think, but the thought of him across the country without us hurts. Oh well, we're not the first family to be split up by distance & if they can do it surely we can as well. Just hoping we're in a more stable place before he actually leaves. Long distance is hard enough on a solid relationship...never mind how hard it is on ones like ours that are held together with fragile bonds. It's too hard & long to explain now & one day will have it's own post.
Monday I stayed in all day. Mostly on the couch. Bee had a fever that went up & down & came & went. She barely ate which is unusual for her, but she slept her normal amount. She was a little crankier than normal, but considering how happy she usually is, I can deal with the occasional crabby day. Sleep last night wasn't so smooth though. Up every hour from 1230 on. Mommy is tired today...and once again...my office is warm...and my chair is comfy...and I feel like if I could just close my eyes...for...one......sec.........ond..........................
