My last weekend of freedom is over. Jackie comes home from Oregon in 4 days.
I am so happy she�s coming home.
The first 3 weeks she was gone, I was like �Whoo-hoo, peace of mind!�
But about 4 days ago I was done with it all. I�m ready to have my baby back. Yes, she�s 8 years old, but she�s my baby.
I don�t know what was going on, or maybe it was a combination of things, but the weekend seemed �off�. Everything I tried to do, either fell through or blew up in my face. I also felt like I was straddling a fence. Draw your own conclusions.
First, I must mention Lisa�s migraine, which had stayed for over a week, was still on. And my poor cousin, well, she�s had strep off and on for months and was symptomatic again over the weekend.
Both illnesses would make anyone tired, and weak. They were both not feeling their best. And it was hot girl! Mid 90�s plus all weekend. The humidity was horrible! My hair got all kinky and curly. I was not happy with the kinks.
I can�t remember for the life of me what we did Friday. Lisa and I went to Fashion Bug. I found out they get their shipments on Mondays. Yeah! I will so be there!
As far as the rest of the evening�.oh yeah. Some barhopping was in order.
First, me, my cuz and Lisa went to the Dam. Major suckfest. We sat there for over an hour hoping it would get hopping. We gave up after an hour.
Then, we drove over to the Phoenix. I really enjoyed it because it�s different, however we were seated next to the dance floor and the speakers, and one look at Lisa told me her migraine was coming back.
About that time, and after a drink, my cousin wanted to go to Woody�s. I just wasn�t up for it because of my issues but I told the girls they should go! Hey, don�t let me stop you from having a great time! I�ll be glad to go home, and I was.
The girls headed up to Woody�s. They weren�t even there for 45 minutes, it seems, before Jacq called me on the phone and told me she wasn�t feeling it so she was coming back to my house.
She told me she was going to walk, but I had a feeling that Lisa wouldn�t let her do that. I was right. Lisa brought Jacq to my house. We visited for a bit, and then we ate our barbecue sandwiches.
Lisa went home.
My cousin and me watched that awful show �Elimidate� which I LOATHE, but it was in St. Louis, so we went ahead and sat through it.
Then, I went to bed. I�m purty sure my cousin went to sleep right away too.
When I got up Saturday, Jacq was gone. I pretty much puttered around the house all day. It didn�t help that I�d woken up at 11:30. That pretty much ruins a day, you know!
I talked to Lisa, Rene� and my cousin throughout the day. I pretty much thought Rene� was going to the movies with me, my cousin and Lisa.
Lisa�s ex got home at 4:30, which left us no time to go to my cousin�s house to see her apartment. Bummer!
We hauled butt to the theater. Everyone wanted to see �The Wedding Crashers� so that was that. Lisa bought my ticket; hers and my cousin�s to save time.
We attempted to wait outside for Rene� and my cousin, but it was too darn hot! I was pouring sweat!
We went in. Eventually I realized that we needed to get seats, so I went ahead and got seated. I saved 4 seats. Me, Rene�, Lisa and Jacq.
Soon, Lisa and Jacq came in. But no Rene�. He never showed up. I was kind of mad at him because I felt it was so typical of him not to show up.
The movie was painful to watch in some parts. In other parts, it was very funny. Overall, I�d give it a B-.
I had been looking forward to going out to eat with my cousin, but her funds were low, so we called it a night with her. I was a little disappointed, but I understand money problems.
So, just me and Lisa. Like old times. We went to Carver�s. Supposedly they are famous for their �Butter burgers�. What makes it a butter burger, you ask? Well, it says right in the menu it�s because they put butter on the bun. How original!
As far as the burger itself, well, if you like your hamburger to taste like shoe leather you�ve come to the right place!
But my chilidog was good.
The kids would like it.
After that, Lisa took me back to her place and we agreed to meet up at my house. She had to change and I had to take my car home.
At home, I let Little Bear out to do his �bidness�. He peed on my rosebush. Turd.
Lisa made it to my house and picked me up. We were going to go to �The Rec Room� which is a little redneck for my taste but we would be okay. At the last minute I said, �Let�s go to Woody�s�.
I felt that I needed to have a conversation with that Mike guy and stop being a weenie. I also felt like I could deal with David and Chris being buttholes.
So we went in.
Woody�s literally stank that night.
Something to do with not having the same cleanup crew. Ewww!
Neither Mike, nor David, nor Chris showed up that night. Lisa remembered that she�s told David we were going to the Dam that night. Oops!
We called my cousin for a last call but she had settled down to watch a couple of movies. I was a little sad, but it was my last night of freedom for a while, so I tried to get happy!
The music was good!
Before I knew it, it was time to go.
When I got home, I called my sister Renee. She is having a lot of problems right now with an emotionally abusive husband. We also talked a lot about our mistrust of men in general. Literally, me and her are on the same page. We just do not trust guys at all right now.
Sunday, I slept until 11. I puttered around and cleaned house. Rene� called me and explained that he was feeling real crappy Saturday because he was still sore from falling when he was jogging by Anheuser Busch the other day.
I started watching �The Color Purple� while waiting for Rene� to pop over. I am just amazed and some of the stuff that Steven Spielberg puts out! What a fantastic movie!
I was amazed.
And that was my weekend. Today I was supposed to be in school but that fell through.
So, here I am. 4 more days until my baby gets home.
I miss her like crazy.
