Turned off and tuned out all weekend...

That was my extended weekend and I loved it. I left work early on thursday to fight the holiday travelers and still got stuck in bumper to bumper but made it home to see our fireworks on thursday night. Side note - a kid lost control of his skateboard but not to worry my ankle stopped it for him. A BIG OUCH but im happy it was me since DD was sitting between my legs and it could have been her if not me. So the FP calls and calls and i decided to turn my phone off and tune it out for the time being. We get home and i see there are 6 missed calls. SHEESH...i was exhausted from the day so decided to put it off until friday. Friday spent the day with DD and mom at moms house and made lunch, cleaned up her yard, played in the pool...all in all a good day. We are heading home for DDs nap (and mine) and i bite it on moms front steps. She had the sprinkler going and the concrete steps and my flip flops were a deadly mix. So i go down and i was laying there for ohhhh 10 minutes under the sprinkler with DD patting my head and asking if i hurt my hiney...LOL all while the dog is darting in and out of the sprinkler. So the bruise on my left cheek matches the color of my little pt cruiser LOL Oooofaaaa its still sore today. So i pick myself up and check my phone and see 8 missed calls (3) from college style and the rest from FP. There were some nasty messages from FP as well and the usual smarmy ones from CS. EWWWWW on both. SO i turn my phone off for the remainder of the weekend. I go to a BBQ on sat and run into an old friend (female) and she asks for my number so we can hang. My mom was there and her mom and felt totaly obligated to give it to her...so i do. On the way out mom asks when is she gonna find a nice bf? I said i guess when she finally comes out of the closet...how many missed calls do you think i had yesterday from her...UGGGHHHHH So last night i settle in finally looking to get back to my routine and BAM 2:30AM FP calls. I ignore the first one and he calls again at 2:35AM I answer and say what are you doing? He snaps well i figure you would anser the phone this time of the day. I said how dare you...i have 2 year old sleeping...he laughs at me and i hang up on him. Im trying to figure out what to say to him on my drive home today. I plan on putting it all out there and letting him know how his empty promises, selfish and irresponsible lifestyle, lack of communication, adolescent mood swings have really put me off lately. Me turning my phone off this weekend was much needed down time for one on one play time with DD and i had a blast...IM EXHAUSTED but it was fun. I knwo i was wrong not to answer any of the calls but i was just not in the mindset to deal with a 43 year old male pouting and having a tantrum.


M...who new making fun of Rebeccas war torn shins would come back to haunt me...ohhh my aching war zone hiney and ankle

OMG Moon...it was tooo funny. My mom called me about an hour later and said wow it took you a long time to get home...I said because i was laying in your damn driveway...Again she told me to suck it up, we would not be spending this 4th of july in the emg room...LOL Its truly a family curse...one of us always ends up in the emg room. Myself...ohhh Ive had about 6 in my lifetime. Honest to goodness...


Shes a really old friend and i dont really care to "hang" since when we have in the past its been one of those really awkward...by the way i know weve been friends since we were kids but ive got something to tell you kind of "hang outs"...Not down with it myself...Maybe I can give her Rebeccas # for the next Melissa Ethridge concert...LOL


BTW...Moon Id always pick up for you...umm as long as I didnt "forget" my phone at work...LOL I swear im running out of excuses
