It's been an eventful few months. I've been around so many people, have had a lot of fun, feel pretty exhausted and still a bit emotional at times, so it seems life is back to normal. My initial intention was to write about Arthur but I have yet to hang out with him and would like to do some real catching up with him now that he's back in town before we delve into the story of Arthur and I. I will say, I often beat him in Words with Friends but we just keep playing.
I was sick for a while after my birthday. Then a flu went around and a bunch of people were sick. Last week my husband was sick and right now my son is just as the cusp of free and clear from being sick with a stomach bug that he took like a champ. I'm hoping to remove him from quarantine and stop washing the sheets and pillows everyday because he'll no longer be contagious!!! The praise belongs to God as I have yet to get sick and God willing, I won't get sick. Honestly, after taking care of these boys, I'm way too exhausted to get sick.
Since my last post Erika had an accident which left her with a forever concussion. I say forever because it felt like forever but it was at least a month. She was just cleared by her neurologist and physical therapist not too long ago. Thank God for her BF- I'm not sure how we all would have managed to assist without him being there for her.I witnessed a child get a concussion, enjoyed a trip to the ER with said child and friend and then everything was cool.
Took my son to the ER just to be laughed at and told that he only needs to drink a bunch of milk to poop out the penny he ate.
Found out our insurance is a joke and none of us can go to hospitals we want to go to. To that I say "Thanks Obama!" I'm still working out some issues with it, hope to have some answers soon. I'm not even sure if I'm insured right now because people who signed us up for the PPO we have, have no idea what they are doing. And with that, you get to know that I have an almost $2000 bill, and guess what, I'm not paying for it! Someone will pay for it and if I do have to pay for some of it, it's not an issue, it's really just about the principal behind it. I hate incompetence.
I had two craft shows back to back and only sold 2 items in two days. It was discouraging so I took a little break but I'm ready to get some nice pictures done and work on an etsy account. People show a lot of interest but honestly, I wouldn't pay that much for an apron lol, in fact, I would just make it :D
I'm ready to sell all of my cake pans because it's been almost a year since I've made a cake and I have too much stuff. People keep trying to talk me out of it but let me tell you, the end is near.
There has been some stuff I have been dealing with in my personal life that I don't care to go in to. You would think that with a blog where all I do is talk about people and myself at great lengths without hesitation, I would be more forthcoming but honestly, it's been a rollercoaster and I don't want to think about it. No, it's not personal to me and my husband or child but it's close and it hurts just the same.
I did a mass wipe of people on Fb. There are still more people I would love to get rid of but can't because it would cause drama. I had a few interviews lined up and I have some cool stories to tell about people I hung around with but I won't be discussing it in this post.
I've been in a weird place lately. I'm not sure why exactly, could be exhaustion or just lack of energy after all of the above mentioned but I seem to be a little bit more reserved about who I want to keep in my life. Almost like I'm okay with letting go of a lot of people I used to hang out with or that maybe they just aren't key players in my life anymore. It's a crappy way to feel because I genuinely care for everyone I know, however, I just feel like I would rather not be around people I don't have much in common with anymore. Maybe this is the jaded or realistic path that shows itself as you get older. Not sure if I'm wiser but I do feel like I want to be around the people I want to be around and feel pretty good about that. I can see I'm just rambling but it's cool, only three of you are reading this :D
^ this is probably a direct result of all the Beck I'm listening to right now.
I've thought about Kevin a lot lately. I only play Led Zeppelin and U2 in the car as they are the safest albums I own that can be listened to around the kid. So, obviously this brings up memories. I guess I also wonder if other people think about people who passed away. It's still such a strange feeling to know someone you were close to was here and now they're not. It's not like losing contact, or maybe it is, it's just that contact is forever and there is still so much unknown out there. I don't cry or anything, I just think about how strange death is and how I think about cool or funny moments when certain songs play. Mannerisms and things like that are easy to remember when you spend a few years with someone while listening to the music you're listening to in your car on the drive to buy groceries.
I will say, I do think I want to contact Keith and ask about Kevin's ipod. It would be cool to listen to some of the music he was listening to before he passed. I've stayed within a certain timeframe when it comes to music and I'm curious to see if Kevin did the same or if he learned about a bunch of cool music that I've never heard of.
So let's have a happy story about someone I've hung around... let's see... let's see...
OH YEAH!!! I FORGOT!! I slammed the car door shut on my thumb the other day and Erika and her BF took care of my boy while I hung out at the hospital. And then they gave me delicious pizza!!!! Rick was at home as the stomach bug had just reared it's ugly head that morning. And so with this simple act of taking care of my son for an entire day, taking care of him at the hospital and letting him drain batteries from phones I say, Angel is officially off of his five year probation with me. I think it may have been down to three years but it's off now so it doesn't matter. He's done an amazing job with Erika, she's pretty happy, and waited in the hospital with her and my kid on a Saturday night without hesitation. I will never give a stamp of approval to anyone trying to steal Erika from me, but if I did, I'd consider giving it to Angel. And see, all it took was long hours of taking care of sick or ailing people!

Oh and on another note, a musical note, man I'm hilarious, I was listening to Hole's first album "Pretty on the Inside" which I was able to listen to because I had a free day while my kid was with Erika and Rick was in bed and I have to say, that is a great album. I guess I thought it wasn't as good because I had mixed up some of the tracks from that album and My Body the Hand Grenade and thought it was a bit louder than it was. I listened to it the other day and man, it was a grear listen. Very raw and heavy grunge. It was like being in 8th grade again.
Listening to albums; Beck: Modern Guilt, Hole: Celebrity Skin.
