Missing you Horribly.
August 29, 2004
It's Sunday. I have much to do, but I did get some stuff done last night. For instance, I cleaned the toilet, much to the delight of the 5 children who were in my care. ("Why are wearing rubber gloves?" "Because I'm cleaning the toilet" "HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!")
I also heard from L yesterday. He e-mailed to tell me that he misses the kids "horribly" but that he's unable to see them until he's better. Well, OK.
I seem to have a great deal of experience, lately, with people who "miss" other people "horribly" and then make no effort whatsoever to do anything about that. The thing about SAYING you miss someone horribly is that's SO EASY to do. It's what you DO about missing someone horribly (like, maybe, asking a friend to drive you over to say hello...or even requesting that I bring the kids there - which he has done for far worse reasons, and I've obliged.) which reassures those you are allegedly "missing horribly."
Anyway, sorry...that was a resentful aside to the other person in my life who claims to "miss" (me) "horribly"...I found it frighteningly ironic that the same phrase was used by both people.
At any rate, tonight we are going to make apple pie for papa and apple pie for the 2 mamas and 5 children that will be sharing this home for the next x number of weeks. I'm so excited that R will be here this afternoon. We're planning our menu and going grocery shopping this afternoon. She's all psyched about doing once-a-week cooking together, which is excellent, because that's one of the things I was TOTALLY looking forward to in having her here.
I should probably go listen to my son talk for a little while, since I rebuffed him to write this (monk has once again become a non-stop talking...which, I mean, usually he has interesting stuff to say, but it's difficult to get through the day when there's a seven year old standing in front of you talking about yu-gi-oh all day long.) I hope you all have an excellent Sunday.
P.S. does anyone know if there's such a thing as the old "america's top 40" radio show on Sundays? I'm suddenly feeling the need to turn up the stereo on that kind of show just like my mom used to do on Sundays when she was cleaning the house...all the windows and doors open, and us kids all running around or laying around or playing around the house.
(never mind. I turned it on for about 2 songs, and then i realized I would much, much rather just listen to Air.)

Well, I miss you horribly, and that's the truth! (Of course, there are very good and unavoidable reasons why we haven't been able to hang out, and I don't have any weird feelings towards you about it, but I still miss you.)
I hope R's arrival today goes great and that this new arrangement falls into place as a helpful thing for both of you very soon.
yu-gi-oh.
oh boy.
i feel your pain. i have a seven year old boy at home too. i *know* your pain. and sometimes it takes everything i've got not to say "yeah, but i don't *care*!" when he's showing me his new cards. because it's the truth: i. don't. care. at all! argh!
another thing i have trouble dealing with is when he tells me stories from tv shows. the stories make no sense, they're missing a character or a beginning, and i'll never be able to make sense of it all. so i have to pull my brain over, and let the story pass while nodding occasionally, and going "uh-uh".
(phew - i'm feeling better now!)
When my Poetlings got interested in Yugioh, I decided I had better get involved too, since I like to be aware of what my kids are into.
They think it is soooooo cool when they can beat the old man in a duel. It took them a few months to get the hang of the strategy, but now I get whupped on a regular basis.
Besides, it's fun to play games with the boys.
