Very serious.....

I was this close to being late for court this morning. And then I saw him. Nolan is a piece of shit, he treated me like shit, he never really had a job and he’s the definition of a man slut. He once bragged about cheating on me with 69 other girls, in 2 years.

I was walking toward the courthouse from one direction and he was walking from the other, our paths were bound to cross, even if I didn’t intervene, but I did. I purposely walked to the other metal detector so I was forced to walk right past him. I don’t think he noticed me, it has been almost 12 years, but he hasn’t changed a bit. It was scary. Not scary as in something bad might happen, but scary as in I didn’t know what to do with the emotions and thoughts running through my head. We had a roller coaster relationship, most of which I’ve repressed, and it’s not something I’d ever like to revisit but word on the street is that he’s pined after me all these years, made me the gold standard. So when I got back to the office I did some more research to try to find out why he was at that particular courthouse on this particular day. Turns out it was a weapons charge, a "dagger" according to the criminal complaint. And he applied for a marriage license on August 18th. So he’s married now. Only four illegitimate children later. I’m so glad that fate had only one meeting in 12 years planned for us.

Jason went to pick Nathaniel up from daycare today and when he got home he was IN A MOOD. He wouldn’t let me love him or even touch him, he screamed every time I tried to get near him.



After a very small dinner of Manwich and string cheese he was in a bit of a better mood and we played for a while until bedtime. He’s getting so much better about going to bed in his firetruck. He doesn’t cry or destroy his room anymore. Even when he wakes in the middle of the night he doesn’t get out of bed, he just cries out for a minute and goes back to sleep. What a good boy.

Busy day

What a long day. I spent most of the day cleaning, cleaning, cooking and more cleaning. I’m exhausted and I’m almost ready for work tomorrow, just to get a damn break. Nathaniel’s completely out of control, he’s kicking, hitting, scratching and biting any time things don’t go his way. I’ve tried showing how to touch gently and he thinks that’s kind of interesting but it’s not interesting enough to replace the aggressive, angry behavior. I’ve got several scratches on my nose and a bite mark on my arm to show for my motherly love today. Wonderful. Okay, enough of the negative, how about some positive: he’s real cute, that’s all I’ve got. :(

Jason picked up our borrowed Christmas tree from his aunt & uncle today. It’s pre-lit and spins on its base so you can see all the ornaments which is really cool!! Too bad we don’t know where our ornaments are.

None of my internet sales are going well. I added a bunch of my law school books to amazon today and they go for a good price so we’ll see how that goes.

Merisa had her boyfriend over for dinner tonight which went okay but Jason’s having a hard time warming up to him. He’s really pretty nice I just don’t like how dependent on him she is. It’s not his fault, it’s hers, but he’s the easy target. Right now Merisa, Kenny (the boyfriend), Jason and I are all sitting around the basement engaged in various activities but the only ones engaged together are the love birds.

It's been a while

Today was a pretty good day. Jason had to work so it was just going to be me and my little guy but after a brief argument with her boyfriend my sister decided to hang out most of the day. Buddy was good this morning and by noon great grandma was here with her usual Saturday lunch delivery. She brought Taco Hell and I had her order a bean burrito for Nathaniel. Jason said the last time he tried to get him to eat one he didn't want anything to do with it but today he loved it. After that we took him downstairs to the mecca of toddler Christmas and Nathaniel got a sneak preview of all his gifts. I think I must have done well because he thoroughly enjoyed himself. :) After grandma left Nathaniel fell asleep for his nap for the very first time ever in his new bed, what a good boy!! It was however, a very short nap and he was noticeably still exhausted when he woke up. It was near 70 degrees here again today but I was too lazy on my vacation to bother getting dressed or setting foot outside of the house.

Finally dad got home from work. We played for a couple of hours and had a really good time chasing each other around the house. Buddy went to bed at his new and improved (?) bedtime of 8 pm without any fuss.

After Nathaniel went to bed I went back to work on my newest mission, decluttering our house (I'm sure to make room for new stuff, lol) which means listing items for sale on eBay and amazon. I've got 3 items listed on eBay and 29 on amazon. We'll see how that goes.

The KU game started at 10, they're playing in an invitational tournament in Vegas. Tonight's opponent was #1 ranked Florida, the defending national champions. We didn't stand a chance since we lost our #3 ranking to nobody Oral Roberts a week and a half ago. Well we proved all the pundits wrong and after a long, stressful 2 1/2 hours and overtime we beat those bastards 82-80. We're flying pretty high over here. :)

I did find one more thing on eBay that I think I have to have for Nathaniel!! It's local pick up and I just don't think I can pass it up.
