wow...
I'm happy to report that I forgot January 14th. Well...I didn't forget anything about that day two years ago, I just didn't dwell on it like I did last year. I'm pretty proud of myself. I think it might have had something to do with the fact that I was kinda busy that day. Sunday. We had company over and I couldn't cry in my room all by myself wishing it never happened. Then we went and saw a movie, and it took my mind off of things. The 13th and the 15th is when I actually thought about it. But I'm glad that it didn't ruin my whole week like last year. I couldn't even tell anyone last year at Publix when they asked me what was wrong. I just told them it was nothing and went on with work [[after being in the bathroom for about 15 minutes trying to stop myself from crying]]. Enough with the sad stuff. I'm over being sad all the time. I'm a pro at it by now.
So anyways...on to the present/future. This man at mom's work, Fred, just moved back down here from Boston with his wife and 4 great kids. Belinda, Elizabeth, David, Emily, and Rachel. Belinda was in a skiing accident and broke both her arms, and being the awesome person that I am, I am driving the kids and her around and helping her do stuff she can't do now. I got there yesterday at around 1pm and they were so excited to get out of the house! We went to Bizarro's for lunch, then walked to Surf Style and Elizabeth bought a bathing suit while the other kids hung out at the beach. Then when she finally found one that she liked, she met them on the beach. Belinda and I went to my BCC to see if she could get Elizabeth into Dual Enrollment for French 2, because apparently we're really dumb down here or something. Nothing compared to the school's up there, which I can believe. After we found out that it was too late to enroll her we went to Wal*Mart so she could get groceries. She was pissing me off! She kept trying to get the stuff herself! Bless her heart. She doesn't like asking people for help, just like I was. I literally told her, "Stop trying to get everything! Tell me what you want, point at it or something, and I will get it!" lol. She started laughing real hard. She's totally cool. Then we went and picked the kids up from the beach. It had gotten cold and they were wet so they chilled in Starbucks until we got there. I felt so bad, they were freezing. lol. Then I took them home. She was so grateful. But I totally understand. You're helpless and it's nice to have someone help you. Granted I am getting paid, very well, but still, it sucks. I only had my one arm casted and I couldn't do anything! I can only imagine how she does anything. It must suck real bad. Today I woke up at 6am to take the kids to school. They go to Covenant Presb. Church School. Right by Kevin and Jason's old house. [[did I mention they live beachside? that was a lovely 45 minute drive. with 4 kids in the civic. lol]] It was weird being back there after not having gone to their house for so long. It's been like...wow..3 years? Yeah cuz we graduated in '03 and I'm sure I didn't go there during the summer. lol. But yeah, then I gotta go back to Belinda's at around 1, maybe earlier, cuz she has PT at 2pm. Maybe something earlier before that. Then pick the kids up at 3. I'm gonna be a soccer mom for a lil while I guess. Don't laugh...got the van and everything. lol. It's great. Well...I guess that was a long enough entry to hold everyone over for a while. and if not...too bad. get over it. hehe. Love to all and hope everyone's well. MUAH!
