The Schlitz

Now that I'm back at work I can breathe. I love home, I love my family. I love leaving them occasionally. Even if this does mean that I'm spending my day around other peoples' kids. My new job is pretty sweet. I get the same days off as my kids and I get to work on puters all day.

Things have been so hectic lately. The kids are finally back in classes and the major events of summer are over. We're going to the river this weekend to chill and after that, I can start stressing about birthdays and Christmas etc. I've already been stressin' lots about the Christmas spending thing, but it comes down to this...We'll take care of Christmas for the kids and everyone else will have the gift of friendship. It may seem like a really crappy gift, but I'm going to put a lot of thought into it.

I feel like over the years, even when I've been really bad at work, really bad with money, bad with time, bad at house keeping...I've always managed to be a pretty good friend. Lately that's changed. I've allowed things to get out of wack. I've neglected a lot of you. You deserve better and I'm gonna make the effort to be a better friend because you are worth it. I don't want to take for granted the many times you've been the people who listen to me whine. So Adrianne, I'm going to just call without scheduling a time when our kids are napping. I need to know how you're doing and I'm just as bad at emailing as I am at calling. Tree, the summer is just about over but it's high time we sat on your back porch, so get your ass back to Va so we can do that. Cindy, I swear I'm going to see your baby before he's dating my daughter and Manda, I miss you tons...I promise to be a better keeper-upper. Of course there are more people I've neglected but eh, baby steps. I'm sure my family will appreciate me taking some of the focus off of them anyway. There's only so much nagging a family can take.



Now, speaking of the schlitz and my baby...

She's just so effing cute that I can't even tell you. If you haven't seen her do her rock star point thing or say "google google google" or shake her head no with her eyes open so they get all spinny around in her head, then you should. She's going to be a year old in less than a month...oy veh. I just can't believe how fast the year went.

When he stops crying, I'll try and stop by for a visit. When do they stop crying? And when can I get a shower?

I'm so glad to hear that the job is doing well. And your baby is adorable. I worry about Christmas too and you know what, I just figure at least my family will be together and we will have a yummy dinner with beer. ;o)

So long as I get invited to whatever bitchin' Crimmus party you and Dan-o are inevitibly going to be strong armed into having (strong armed by the MMC no doubt), that'll be enough regifting for me. Anywho, I can be sappy for a minute right? Thanks to you guys for giving me a place to go occasionally to get away from the emptiness of my apartment. Tess is like the second (or third if you count the one I haven't met yet, hehe) coolest baby I know, and she's effing adorable. And Jake is like the little brother I never had sometimes (and I'll gladly babysit him at shows). Anyway, enough of the gheyness, let's get on with the show.
