Day after Day
After getting up at 6 in the morning everyday for the past week and a half... I can feel it drain on me. Getting there at 7 and the kids are CRAZY!!! They don't stop fighting EVER! It's a constant battle because someone is chewing the wrong way or they want something the other one has. They are 11 and 8!!! The 15 year old sleeps til about 2 in the afternoon so I rarely see Shireen.
So, finally started to work at the Kerry Piper. It's been good except two reason... 1) With me getting up at 6 and the time I go to work at 4, I am exhausted and then I have to work til 11. 2) With everyone getting ready to go back to school - I miss seeing everyone. Dan is going back to school next Thursday and I think everyone else is going back sometime that weekend. It's going to be so lonely when they leave... lots of trips to ISU and EIU...
Dan, Graham, Bob and Jim went to the Cubs game today all decked out with paint and their nails... I swear to god my boyfriend is gay... haha. :) But I get to see him today after trivia. I think Jen and I are getting there early and having something to drink and then splitting dessert because everything is half off to me... WOOHOO!! After trivia, we are going to Graham's for some kind of party which basically means bonfire in the backyard and more mosquito bites.
This weekend, is kinda pointless. I have to work on Friday night at 4:30 and still not sure what I am doing with babysitting because he said he might just take the day off of work, which would be great for me so I can finally get some sleep. And then after work, party at Jen's. I'm not exactly sure what that means either and I don't think she knows. Saturday - nothing until work and then Sunday i have to do Junior Entertainer's Workshop for Murphy Roche... hopefully I'll be done by 5 and then I can still have a life after working with kids for the whole day.
It's been so weird lately. I've been thinking (I know... it was a shock for me too) and I can't believe how fast time is going. Everyone is going back to school and over the summer, some people stopped talking and then others became best friends... it's funny - it seems like high school all over again. I thought that the time you go to college was a time when people grew up but I guess it is just life experiences. I mean, Dan and I and Jen and Graham have been dating for almost 2 months now and it still feels like the first couple of weeks. (It's funny when one of your best friends has the exact same anniversary as you but it makes things simple). I leave for Ireland on August 24th - two days after school starts. Last year, I was gone for three weeks... I miss being over there. I don't know if it is because I don't live over there or because I feel so much more connected but the week I am overseas... I feel home. I know that sounds crazy but it's true...
So now, Jen just walked in - saw how long this journal was and she's wearing a towel... see - public nudity means nothing to me anymore after having Jen as a friend. :) But I don't think I have anything else to announce... so I think I am going to go watch Jen change...
