One more day. Just one more day.
Tomorrow will be my last day working for the summer. Then I actually get to have a vacation of sorts.
Going to Yuma isn't a very relaxing way to spend my vacation time, but I do want to see my sister and my girls. James is overseas and he should be back around January, so the girls are kinda.... whiney. Kelsey is taking it like a champ; according to Cin, whenever she's caught crying she dries off her face and states that she doesn't miss Daddy that much. This is the first deployment that Kelsey will remember (she was too young for the last one), and being a HUGE Daddy's girl, I hear she's taking it kinda hard. I'll see when I get there. And of course, Abby is taking it like she always does; she spontaneously breaks out into tears constantly. I think it also serves as an attention-getter, but she's a kid and what are you gonna do.
Sac is taking care of the dog while I'm gone. Hopefully he'll do a better job than he did last time. Here's hoping.
Espanola will be interesting. I've never been up farther than AppleTurkey. Supposedly, Sac's mom told his family that I will be going up too, so now I have a dinner in my honour. I'm kinda nervous about meeting his entire family. It's almost like sealing the deal on me being his girlfriend. I don't think I've ever sealed any deal this far before. Meeting your significant other's extended family is way more intense than meeting the parents. I've met his mom, I like her and she likes me. But it's just wierd to be paraded as Issac's Girlfriend rather than Some Strange Girl Named Cat That Wondered In Here For The Free Food.
I don't think I explained that well enough. It's difficult to put into words. Yeah, I love the man. And yeah, I enjoy being with him. But meeting his extended family and being labeled as his counterpart almost makes me feel that I'm losing my identity as Cat and being forced to take on the persona of Issac's Girlfriend. I've jumped from guy to guy for so long I don't really know how to take that. Hell, if I ever get married to anyone, I don't even know if I would want to take his last name; I've always wanted him to take my last name.
It's difficult to understand it in my head. Maybe I'm just nervous about taking a step that I've never taken before. Maybe I'm just blowing everything out of proportion. Maybe I'm just stupid Cat that does stupid things when something is different.
