Howdy folks.

Been keeping busy with my kiddo's and focusing more on work. With the way things are going in banking, I need more production. Can't afford to lose my job.

Just basically having fun with the kids. Last night was lasagna night. D11's favorite. Some French bread and olive oil with spices for dipping. Said goodbye to S14 this morning. He'll be doing his usual of going to his dads for the weekend after school. I found out yesterday that I have to work on Saturday, so I'll be taking the girls to grandma's to spend the night tonight. Tomorrow after work, I'll be taking them to a "Junie B Jones" play. They're excited.

Got off a little early yesterday, so I went to renew my drivers license. I had forgotten it had expired on my Bday last month. Afterwards, went for a haircut. I should have done the haircut first. Now I have to have a bushy head on my pic for the next 7 years. \:\)

When I went to pick up D11 and S14 from the apartment yesterday(I've been waiting outside the door), D11 came out talking on S14's phone. She was talking to GBG. Normal stuff. I did hear her say something about, "We're already leaving". We picked up D7 from her school and head home. The kids were really having a good time together. Chasing each other, wrestling, tickling. I joined in a little when D7 came running into the kitchen to hide behind me. I used to yell when they used to do the rough housing stuff, but now I let them.

The weird things we miss.

They went their separate ways for a bit and I finished cooking. S14 comes out of his room and asks D11 what bus number she rides home to the apartment. Their mom is asking. She tells him, he relays it back to his mom and goes back to his room.

That was an odd question. It didn't dawn on me until this morning that D11 still had S14's Sprint phone at the house. Wondering what phone she called from, this morning I was letting S14 know that I thought the question last night was odd. He didn't say anything. He's like that. He refuses to get in the middle of things. Whether is concerns his dad, his mom or myself. He'll offer no explanations for anything.

And thats fine. I don't WANT him to feel like he is in the middle. He's always felt that about his dad and his mom.

I did ask him if his mom's phone was working yet and he said that it was. So her cell is back on.

When I pick up D11 from the apartment tonight, I'll leave the remainder of the money that I owe for the afterschool care for D7. No note. Nothing funny. Just the money.

Trying to keep on moving forward. Called the buddy yesterday that contacted me by FB. Left a VM. He called me back today, but I couldn't take the call. His VM said that it was good to hear from me. He is in Austin, but comes to San Antonio often because it is part of his territory. He told me that beig married and divorced just once was enough for him. He mentioned that my response to him on my FB wall made him laugh and he'll call me when he comes in town so we can have some drinks.

Here's to a great weekend.

Good Bye Girl. No longer SAYING she's moving out. GBG moved out 8-1-08
