I am having mixed feelings about last night.
Ian likes Jayme, its pretty freakin obvious, and she gave me permission to give him her phone number. I told him to not get his hopes up because "I don't think shes looking for anything right now". We'll see. I think its cute because I got to see his face at work when I was on the phone with her and when I shared the news with him. He hasn't told me straight out yet, but he has said, "I want to forbid my wife to see other people, and you can infer the rest. *grin*" Yeah, well I'm inferring alright.
One of my kids was feeling sick all day yesterday, but my boss and I knew that she was voted one of the Campers of the Week, which is a pretty big honor presented at the end of the day every friday to a couple select campers among 240 kids. So we, of course, didn't want her to go home and miss her award. I am so proud of her, because she stayed and stuck it out. She cried a couple times to herself, and rarely left my side, but to see her smiling face when she stood in front of everyone with that award was worthwhile. She sat back down and I whispered, "See, aren't you glad you didn't go home?" and she looked at me, having figured out that I knew all along, and she hugged me and said "Thank you."
Have that happen to you and try not to melt.
Work is good, my job is wonderful, I care alot about *most of* the kids, and I am getting paid to have fun.
So, yesterday I worked, which I've found usually makes me tired. Last night my mom offered to take my brother and I out to dinner so long as we also accompanied her on her quest for a couple specific articles of clothing that my dad needed for this morning's baseball tournament. It took us 15 minutes to find a royal blue T-shirt, but we continued to search for 2 hours for royal blue baseball or soccer socks with fail. It was hard to find places open after 9, and if they were, the socks were nowhere to be found. So, after accepting that we were sockless and hungry and that wasn't going to change, we went to Outback for dinner. If I hadn't had walked around shopping so much, I probably would have been okay, but working plus shopping completely wore me out. I had, however, some very good food. I had the Cyclone Chicken which was fantastic, probably my new Outback fave. I came home and it was already after 11, so convincing my mom to let me leave again would have been not only difficult, but pointless. I watched some Friday Night Stand-up, and apparently fell asleep shortly after lying down.
I hate it how I woke up and found a missed call from my love from shortly after I fell asleep. I hate it. Because last night was alright, I spent time with my mom, I ate good food, but I didn't get to see my boy at all. And when the opportunity came for me to atleast talk to him, I missed it. Grr.
I love to hear my phone ring and see his name, I love to hear his voice on the other end, and I love to know that he loves these things too.
