Happy Monday everyone!!
I don't think I posted about TV last week and I'm going to skip doing so in long form now too. DWTS is boring me this season. I can't get past it. I know I need to be a good sparkly fan and vote all my votes for Lance...but I can't seem to do it. So I use half my votes for him and the other half for Brooke because she is the best so far. I'm SO over Cloris too. She needs to go. I may vote as much as I can for Rocco this week just to give him a little push over her maybe. I thought most of my other shows were pretty good too. I can't really remember thinking that I wasted an hour of my time while watching any of them so that must be a good thing. The only disappointing part...no hot cop this week!
And I'm already behind for TV watching this week. Army Wives and Brothers & Sisters is sitting on my DVR along with 2 episodes of The OC from last week. *sighs* I hate when I feel pressure to watch freaking TV. LOL
Let me tell you why I am already behind...
My weekend - I had promised myself that I wasn't going to do anything, make any plans, nothing until I cleaned. Then my SIL decided she was having a little get together at a park for my nieces b-day. This is actually B's family that we hardly ever see. I even tried getting out if myself and asked B to take Kaden by himself because I just don't have any use for at least half of them. But, then I felt guilty because while 2 of his brothers are douchebags, the other one and his wife and their kids aren't...and it was their daughters b-day who has no idea that the adults are all screwed up. So, I went because it was the right thing to do and I was annoyed when we left.
The thing is that we hardly ever see these people. We all live within 20-30 minutes of each other and never see them. And that's not because we (B and I) haven't tried, it's because we've finally given up trying. With my family...I can't go a couple of DAYS without seeing them and I never go one full day without talking to most, if not all, of them. But B's family is just not like that. I get that, but I can't understand why they have no desire to see or even know Kaden. That's what gets me. So what pissed me off royally was we went there and spent the day with them and 2 of his brothers barely even acknowledged Kaden. More than anything, I will NEVER understand that. But what got me the most was when we were all leaving, his brother (T) and his other brother (S) made sure they said goodbye with hugs and kisses to their nieces but walked away without a word to Kaden. Not that Kaden knows or cares but it really fucking pisses me off. And that's the saddest part of it all....because they are all so fucking distant, Kaden doesn't know who is who. When I tell him to say hello to Uncle S, he looks at Uncle T. It's that sad. He knows all his aunts and uncles and cousins on my side of the family because they make an effort to know HIM.
But, don't get me wrong, that's only 2 of B's brothers. His other brother, with the wife and kids, make sure they get down to Kaden's level and talk to him. And their girls are so sweet with Kaden when we do get to see them, which isn't often. But this past weekend, when they found out we were coming to the party, one niece made me a card and the other looked around her toys and things to find something she could bring / give to Kaden, just because she wanted to. And they gave him 3 Thomas the Tank Engine DVD's since he's a HUGE Thomas fan right now. So, that was sweet and I wish we did see them more often but we just don't.
Okay...enough bitching...and that was just Saturday. When we got home I picked up the Twilight book. I've had my niece's copies for a few weeks but hadn't had a chance to start them. I finally did...and that brings me to why my house still didn't get cleaned on Sunday. Because I read all fucking day. I'm alternately wondering between how I got sucked into the craze and what the fuck took me so long. I finished the book last night with enough time to catch up on my Sunday night shows...but instead I picked up Book 2 and went to the patio until 2 am. LOL Now I'm wondering if I can take an actual lunch break today, since I never do, just because I want to freaking read. How pathetic. LOL
Now, I hunt for icons....
