Fourteen Yellow, Six are Blue
First off I'm a total geek because I watched the movie "My Stepmother is an Alien" today and laughed a ton because I haven't seen the movie in forever and found it highly amusing that Alyson Hannigan goes on a date with Seth Green in the movie, which ironically could have been a precursor to the Buffy love plot between Willow and Oz. I know that Nate and maybe Paul will be the only folks that may find this amusing if they weren't already aware of it, but my life is dull therefore I can find humor in the littlest things.
Second of all I found this rather disgusting:
AN ACT TO PROHIBIT CERTAIN FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS FROM SERVING FOOD TO ANY PERSON WHO IS OBESE, BASED ON CRITERIA PRESCRIBED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH; TO DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT TO PREPARE WRITTEN MATERIALS THAT DESCRIBE AND EXPLAIN THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A PERSON IS OBESE AND TO PROVIDE THOSE MATERIALS TO THE FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS; TO DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT TO MONITOR THE FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ACT; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES.

Personally I think that's just wrong, I know that America needs to be more aware of it's physical and mental health but denying a large or overweight person food just seems against their constitutional rights. I could probably rant and debate this topic for hours but I'll shut up for now.
Finally life is going pretty well, Parker is happy and healthy and starting to sleep better at night which is a relief considering I'm not always at home at night to put him to bed because of work. Speaking of work I love love my new job. Everyone who finds out I'm working with mentally disabled adults tell me that I must feel so good about myself for working in such a challenging career. Personally I don't find it a challenge at all, they are just the same as everyone else they just dance to a different drummer. My main issue with work is my schedule. I thought I was going to love the 7 days on 7 days off overnights. I don't have an issue with them but I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of time with my kid. I know that I have the rest of my life to get to know my baby but he's still so little and cute. I got home from work this morning and almost cried because he was sitting in his bouncy chair and he saw me and his eyes just lit up and he smiled and just started talking away. I guess it could be me being sappy or it could be the total lack of sleep from working a 16 hour shift. I don't want to give up at this job because I love the clients that I work with but I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle being away from Parker so much. I would much rather have a 9-5 gig that would let me get him up in the mornings and put him to bed at night. I know I could always go back to Aveda and be on days in no time but I would feel like a failure for quiting so easily plus all the old guards are gone and it would never be the same.
Relationship drama as per usual. Mark hasn't talked to me in a week, which I'm okay with I guess. I mean I didn't expect to date him and marry him but I did think that we could have atleast been friends. I've been in that funk lately. Although I would love to meet a decent guy and date him I'm more into the idea of just meeting new folks and getting a bigger group of friends. I love all my friends but it's not easy to always work out schedules with everyone and I think if I had more friends not only would I become more socially active but I'd have more oppertunities to do so. Haven't heard from Dalton all week either. I know he's been on call for work and has been at the fire department all week and I only text him once so I'm not going to flip out or anything but I guess I'm slightly dissapointed after our great date last week.
