Damn Cold Weather
2007-11-24
Somehow, between the cold temps yesterday and the breeze, I got myself a sore throat. Won't be blowing those leaves today. Maybe I'll burn the ones in the woodline my water hose can reach, but that's it. I was trying not to go out today, but I may end up having to anyway.
My oldest is having his first, safe (bring a friend) date today. My mom is dropping off him and his friend and the young lady will be meeting them at the bowling alley. Only big rule - no one is allowed to leave the building. They should have a great time. She seems like a nice girl so that's a plus too. I can't wait to hear how it went. I like watching my son blush. It's so cute.
My youngest is still with Grandma playing with his little cousin. Mom said she'll probably take those two bowling or something tomorrow. He's still playing with his DS Lite thing too. The toy made it 24 hours without getting broke so there's hope it last a while. He loves electronics (like his mom) so he usually takes care of that stuff better than anything else. Once his brother gets one he plans on selling/trading his Game Boy. Cool thing about this DS Lite is that it can play Game Boy games too. At least the games won't be sitting around collecting dust.
I keep thinking about Christmas. It's going to be tight this year, but doable. Doodlebug has already made his Christmas list and nothing is too expensive. Maybe he knows Santa's got to tighten his belt this year and he just hasn't let me in on it yet. I swear he still believes in Santa though. His friends say Santa doesn't exist, but he tells me he doesn't believe them. I figure if I buy one or two small things weekly until Christmas (starting next week) I can spread things out enough to budget better and still not run out of money. We'll see . . .
Sam has finally calmed down this morning. He's been running around like crazy all morning. Probably wore himself out. Good! Maybe I spoke too soon since he's under the blankets barking:) Stupid dog! (to borrow a line from Courage the Cowardly Dog)
Dinner tonight - chicken tenders, a piece of fruit & a veggie (if I have any). I've been trying to eat whatever I find in the house to save money. Haven't had to resort to the Dog Food Diet yet Barnabus! I've been thinking about renting a moveie, but that would require me to leave the house so it probably won't be happening.
Got a court date in 4 days with ex #2. I hope me & the boys get that increase in child support. It would sure help around the house. I haven't been thinking about it too much, but I'm betting that will change as the date gets closer. I'm trying not to stress over it. Hope for the best and plan for the worst is the angle I'm working. Heck, they may not even get him serve so I'm trying not to waste my time on negative thoughts. Wow! Maybe I am starting to get better. Shows I have been working on myself. Not just talking about it. Sure I have my setbacks, but who doesn't.
Making progress everyday. . .
