Well, that's that. Brian starts his new job on monday (orientation type thingy) and his first official day of work is Tuesday, May 3rd!!! YAY!!!!
I plan to move into my apartment May 7th, which is awesome. If I could move in right now I would. I really want to get out of my Aunt's house. Not that it's particularly horrible over there, it's just there are alot of things I haven't been able to do while I lived there because it's not my house. Like, I can't watch whatever I want, whenever I want (Aunt Bet has FULL control of the TV while she's in the house), I can't walk around in whatever I want. I can't be in the house without being harrassed by the dog. I can't drink or eat directly out of containers. I just don't have enough space there that is mine. I'll miss Aunt Bet a lot, I really do like her and she's been very good to me. I'll miss conversations w/ Cheryl and funny things she says. I just need to be back on my own again (of course I have a roomie, so I'm not completely alone, but anyone who's ever gone away from home and then had to come back and live with family knows what I mean).
Work is driving my slowly bananas. Part of my job is putting up with angry subcontractors, which I do almost daily. I know not to take things at work personally, but even so, listening to someone yelling at you for long enough is stressful. My job is contributing to my chemical dependencies.
Anyway, now that Brian has a job, IS NOT going to jail, and will soon be able to buy things for himself and me (like train tickets), I am way, WAY less stressed. WHEW!
I miss my little bro. Josh is still in Iraq. Caroline is soooo cute and I think Laura is pretty well into the mother routine, although I'm sure it's still stressful from time to time! I really miss hanging out with that side of the family.
OHHHH!!!!!!!! I almost forgot to let you all know, that I spent time with Brian and Ava last weekend. Brian and I picked up the Baby early saturday afternoon and dropped her back off early sunday afternoon. Now that she's older, she's A LOT more open to me. She is sooo cute! Man, has she grown, too! Brian and I had a great time running around after her. We went for a walk on saturday with the dog and Ava was pointing out birds, flowers, trees, cars--everything! One of my neighbors has a little Pug named Bingo and when we walked past him Ava said, "Doggy! Woof! Woof!" and I said to Ava, "Ava, say hi, Bingo!" and Ava turned (she was up on her Daddy's shoulders) and waved and said, "Hi, Bingo!" We went to Brian's house later (she slept most of the drive. Ava found a funnel on B's kitchen table and put it on her head and said: "Hat! Par-tee! Part-tee!" It was so cute. The long and short of it is, Ava was hugging me, grabbing my hand and pulling me around the house, sitting in my lap to watch TV, sitting in my lap to cuddle, asking me to pick her up. Things were MUCH better this time around.
Giovanni was really jealous that I was paying so much attention to Ava. He could not get it through his head that I cannot and WILL not pay attention to him all the time. Everytime I turned my attention away from him he would sulk. Then he said I was being mean to him. I almost freaked out. He was relentless. Basically, he was being a BRAT. If I was his mother I would have beaten him and the problem would have been over, but I'm not. That's the tought part, he has a lot of abadonment issues, so I know why he was acting so jealous, but he has to understand that the world doesn't revolve around him and that I am the adult and he is the child and he WILL NOT push me around. So I had to be mean sometimes. Ugh! I am going to rid that boy if his brattyness one way or the other.
B and I were exhausted after one day of Ava and G. Ava went to bed around 8:30 and Keisha came home to watch G around the same time (B and I were watching him most of the day). We both flopped on the floor and I looked at him straight in the eye and said: "I cannot run around after two children like this for a WHILE. We have to wait until Ava gets older." Then that man had the nerve to say to me, "Really, I was thinking of more like, 19 to 20 months." I said, "What? Having a child in 19-20 months?" Brian said, "Yeah." I said, "Are you going to have them? Because I'm not." So Brian, being the smartass that he is said, "Fine, I'll get a surrogate." I said, "Keep that surrogate, you can have her. I don't care. You're going to need one because I sure-as-hell am not having a child for A WHILE." We finally agreed on having children while I am between the age of 26 and 31. That's it. Whatever we have, we have, and we ARE NOT having more than two. Or should I say *I* am not having more than two. If he ever gets ahold of Halle Berry, his designated surrogate, and she actually agrees to carry his child then FINE, but until then--JUST TWO.
Anyhow, I have to get back home. I'm making peirogies tonight!!!! (Unless I get lazy on the way home and stop for chinese). Mmmm...chinese. To HELL with pierogies! Hello General Tso's chicken!
