Friday…how I LOVE thee!

It is finally Friday.  It was a super busy week yet seemed to go by all too slowly for me.  We are not heading out to Keith’s son’s game because he is not going as he has to go work at an out of town dialysis center that needs help.  I will be staying home and working if there is any extra and then running out to grab my hat and relaxing before my busy day tomorrow. 

Tomorrow is first Zumba Party for breast cancer awareness at 9:30 in the morning if I make it, lol.  Dylan’s soccer game is at 3:30 so mom and I are going to the first half and leaving straight from there for Taylor Swift.  We are worried with also Texas/OU being this weekend there may be a lot of traffic.  Dylan is mad at me but understands and I reminded him I never miss a game unless I have to which has only been for concerts that were already paid for.  His dad will be there and take him with him after the game.  Another of the soccer moms is taking her daughter to the concert so we will all be leaving about the same time.  Busy yet exciting day! 

Dylan will probably have a melt down later because I am not going to let him go to the football game tonight.  He went skating both  nights last weekend and he has been very disrespectful this week and I told him it needed to stop before privileges were given.  He is going to have to learn eventually but boy it will probably be heck for me this afternoon!  Lately  he gets so angry about everything.  We are going to eat a certain place he wants something else and goes on and on.  He wants the new iPod as we have Sprint and they are getting it.  Well he said he would even get the older one.  Well we only have one contract we can renew for discounted price and I was already planning to upgrade my iPod touch to a bigger size so I will be getting the new 4s for myself for that reason, it has a better camera, it has other features that appeal to me, and I have so many apps already having iPad and iPod that it just makes sense.  I love my EVO but it just makes more sense to do the phone instead of iPod and keep my Evo.  My EVO camera is not that great so I am anxious to have a better camera since I am such a picture taker.  Either way I have to save up for it anyway.  He will get my EVO and I told him at age almost 12 he should be happy and if he had such an issue I would happily just go shut his line off even though his phone is beneficial for me.  He has a sense of entitlement lately and it is driving me nuts.  Let’s pray that I make it through this afternoon with my sanity intact, lol. 

Hump Day…woot woot…three days til Taylor Swift

Well last night I went to Zumba with my regular instructor who ROCKS.  It was super fun but still trying to build my stamina back up so I was pooped.  My soccer mom friend Rosa went with me and she asked if I was trying to kill her.  Not sure how I got blamed instead of the instructor Paula, lol.  I did tell her that when I first started it was tough but it works and it is fun.  Her son and daughter hung out with Dylan and used my computer and iPad.  I think Rudy now may love my iPad, lol. 

Dylan is always so hard to get up in the mornings and today was no different.  He is such a morning grumpy butt. 

My mom stopped by yesterday while in town at the eye doctor so it was nice to see her.  We talked about out plans for Saturday with the soccer game and Taylor Swift concert.  I cannot wait.  I know it will be awesome!  I saw this cute little black hat at Burlington the other day and actually out of everyone my Mema said it was cute.  It was only $10.  I think I am going to get it this afternoon because I want to wear it to the concert.  We got our “Why You Gotta Be So Mean” shirts that are a blackish gray so it would go well.  I like hats and I just want to do something different.  My mom says to me “well I’m sure not wearing a hat”.  I did not expect her to she is so silly.  In fact the hate will keep us wearing the same shirt but not quite twinkies, lol.  Well time to make sure little man is still moving like he should be and maybe have time to play a game real quick.  I may go to Yoga tonight it just depends on how work goes and how busy we are because I am MONEY HUNGRY! 

Grumplestilskin

The above name refers to my almost 12-year-old son who is ever so hard to wake up.  It is like waking a grizzly bear and usually takes me 30-40 minutes to get him up.  He goes to bed early enough but sometimes has trouble getting to sleep so when you wake him it is heck.  His dad was always hard to wake up too.  It is just so not how I wanted to start my day but such is the life of a single mom of a grumpy preteen boy. 

I was up later than I had planned last night texting with my sweetheart.  He is usually in bed by 10 or earlier as he gets up so early for work but we just could not help ourselves last night we texted until a little after 11 and then it took me another hour to wind down.  We do not get to see each other so some days we text more than others but we always keep in touch throughout the day while he works and me too.  I think he is great and maybe he is THE ONE!  He is definitely the hardest working, most mature, and ready of any I have met and is very caring and sweet!  Time will tell!

This afternoon is soccer practice 5:30 to 6:30 with me working in the car until that ends and then off to Tuesday night Zumba with Paula B much to my son’s shagrin.  He has to wait ALL THAT TIME A WHOLE HOUR for me to do something for myself…He may DIE!  LOL!  No time to bring him home or I would.  He can work out, play on my computer or iPad.  I do not make him go into the daycare area as he is almost 12 the age you are able to sign them up and they let him work out and never say anything.  At this age on they are just so focused on only them and although he is proud of me for finding a good man and getting healthy and in shape he does not want to have to suffer because of any of it.  It must not interfere with HIS time, lol!  Oh well we are at a point of work where we are behind enough I can start early so I think I will.  I worked a little extra last night as well.  I am trying to save up money for Christmas, Dylan’s birthday (November 3), mom and my trip to Vegas, going to the State Fair and hoping to find some crafts for Christmas gifts, etc.  It will all be here before we know it!!!!!  I hope all my Spark Friends and other friends have a great day!!!!!

Heavy Mind Today

Well my mind is weighing heavy today.  I have so many things going on up there.  Today my little man is not feeling well but he is at school so I am of course worried about him but proud that he went since he often has issues with his anger and not wanting to go to school.  Today is two months since dad passed so that is on my mind as well. 

Today is also one month since Keith and I had our first official date.  Things are still good we just have not seen each other in a while because he was sick and then I told him to stay home this Saturday because he only got about 3 hours of sleep Friday night after going to his son’s game and then having to work like 12 hours Saturday.  He would have been way too tired!  I do not want him worn out.  He only has one more Saturday to work which will help us out a lot.  Mom and I are going to Taylor Swift this Saturday so he can rest then too.  We still talk constantly though so that is good.  He is busy with two jobs, single parenting, and school and I am busy with my two jobs, single parenting, and fitness so we both knew that in the beginning so we are making it work.  Dylan takes it as a bad sign but I explained to him that being in a mature adult relationship means caring about the other person and compromising to make it work.  Of course I miss him and he misses me but we want good quality time together not for him to drive an hour here to fall asleep lol! 

My leg is much better and I did one Zumba class last week and just stayed busy with work and stuff and did not make it to another one of those or a Yoga.  My goal this week is to make 2-3 classes.  I am going to Zumba Saturday morning because we are having a special one for Breast Cancer Awareness.  Going to be a busy day with that, soccer game, and then Taylor Swift!  I am motivated though.  I was going to use our game credits at the game store to get Your Shape Express for XBOX 360 but they did not have it and then come to find out one of Dylan’s friends jacked up the disk tray on his XBOX so gonna have to look into getting that fixed.  Always something!  I work hard and make extra money and things always pop up that take that savings away, lol!  Well I need to get to some other things now but here is to a productive Monday!  I usually do no classes or anything on Mondays and solely concentrate on work but last Monday we were not as busy so if I do not work over I may change that!  That may also depend on how my little man is feeling!  Happy Monday!  Remember to be positive and love yourself first above all else!!!!
