I ate too much turkey

Unfortunately, Thanksgiving is over. We spent the day with my aunt and uncle. I got a pleasent surprise in that one of my cousins was home and I didn't expect that. It was nice having family time and being able to just enjoy a day.
Now it's another week. I continue to be busy with working and keeping up after my kiddo! I'm actually starting to enjoy life most of the time again. Been awhile since I could say that. Still the occasional days of crabbiness and hopelessness, but doing better overall.
We got the Christmas tree out over the weekend. It's not decorated, but it's out and up! We started putting the lights on it the other night, but then realized that we only had one strand that worked. Off to the store we will have to go this weekend to get more lights! We also bought these HUGE and I mean HUGE stockings the other night. We don't know if we have been good enough to have them filled all the way, but we're hoping!!

Can't wait for the pumpkin pie

Thankfully, this week is over! I don't know why, but I was just SO bored this week!! I worked a lot so I shouldn't have been. I don't think it was so much being bored as being annoyed all week! I work with a high school person who is VERY annoying. I know, I know, I'm probably forgetting what it was like to be a teen, but hey that's life! Anyway, this person works in the afternoon/evenings and just does/says a lot of immature things that are not enjoyable or entertaining to listen to. Of course the stuff this person is talking about has only said the same thing to me about a hundred times, so it's gotten old. K...I'll shut up now that I've gotten it out of my system! :)
This week is going to be enjoyable since it is Thanksgiving week. Preston and I will be going to my aunt and uncles for the day. It will be nice not to have to "fight" over where to go this year. I can just enjoy spending time with my family who I enjoy being with. I'm looking forward to eating a lot of turkey...or the thought of it is exciting! I also can just nap all day so it will be a good day!
My work hours are going to be crazy and I'm going to experience my first "day after thanksgiving" shopping day. Fortunately, I don't have to be there to open in the morning. Also, fortunately, cute co-worker guy will be there to talk to, so it's all good! I will have to work pretty late, which will cause Preston to have to stay with my parents most of the evening, but he seems to be adjusting to it finally. He loves my dad!! They seem to be bonding which is such a good thing for them both.

What a boring week

My birthday stunk! I had to work the whole evening, which wasn't terrible, but not what I would have liked to do on my birthday. My whole week has pretty much stunk!! It's been WAY better then last week though. At least I haven't been crying all week again. I've had to work a lot this week which has been making me tired. The cold weather is NOT fun!!
I'm not communicating with "the guy" anymore! I emailed him Sunday just to say "hello", and haven't heard a thing since. I decided I'm to old for someone who keeps changing their mind about what they want in a relationship. I also decided he was too immature in doing what he was doing in constantly changing his mind! Some people's kids!!...lol I also decided (at least for this week...haha) that I'm looking at any guy with interest! They are too much TROUBLE! Most of them handsome, but all of them trouble! ;)
At least I have the day off tomorrow! I'm so excited about that!! I am really going to enjoy having one day off this week. I have to work the rest of the weekend.

Mixed messages and my birthday

Tomorrow is my birthday!! YeeHaw!! Not a lot going on really. The plans I DID have were canceled...more on that in a moment. My family and I are supposed to be having a spaghetti dinner tonight, but mom and dad are putting in a new dishwasher. No telling if the dinner's going to happen or not! I just worked all weekend and have to work part of tomorrow too. Not that I mind I guess! Need the money, so it's good to be able to work to make some.
The guy I went out with several weeks ago can't seem to make up his (my mind) mind about what it is he wants. We talked the other night, I thought things were fine, then I get an email stating he wants to be friends, nothing more! FINE!!I'm too confussed (and old) for this! I think I'm just going to email him, see if he responds, and not worry about it to much. If he ever makes up his mind he can let me know. We were supposed to get together this weekend for my birthday, but that got canceled due to him not being able to decide what he wants.

Short, but something

I finally heard from the guy I've been missing the last couple days. He didn't say much, but at least it was nice too hear from him. I had just gotten so used to talking nightly to him that it's a BIG switch too all the sudden not be doing that any longer. Anyway, it was good to get an email and again see that he is of his word.
I'm going to be looking in to getting my Masters. I have wanted to for a long time now, and talked to someone today who kind of gave me some good information. I'm going to call and see if I can get information tomorrow on the program I'm wanting too get in too. That could keep me busy for the next few years!! I'm also thinking about enrolling Preston and I in a night college class just to give him the experience of going on a campus and taking a class. It would be something like ceramics or photography! They even have a bowling class we could take, so I will have to see.

No word yet

The last few days have been miserable for me as far as the guy situation goes. (of course, I also have a cold so that never helps!) I MISS the nightly conversations I was getting used to. I MISS feeling like I have someone who I can "reach" out to and have a "guys" opinion on my own child. I'm sure I'm blowing this guy situation into more than it was/should be, but I can't help but think there was something special starting between us! I did email him tonight, I couldn't"help" it! I may not be the first not to phone, but I'm going to give the email a try. Hopefully he continues to stay true to his word and will respond in some fashion. Email might be best at this point! I would LOVE to hear his voice, but don't want to (be me) and cry over the phone with him again!! Poor guy! For those who read this, keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Broken Hearted but THANKFUL

Today turned out not to be a good day! The guy I went out with several weeks ago emailed me today to let me know that as of now there is no "us". Back when we went out he had commented he didn't know if he wanted to be more than friends and could we just talk and be just friends for now. Well, ever since that night, we have spent every night on the phone talking and he would say things like "we" and "us". I was sincerely pursuing everything as "just a friend" and enjoyed our conversations at night. Apparently, the other party felt like it was more serious than "just friends". Not really sure actually. More confused than anything! I'm really sad that he has made the decision to not pursue this anymore. I am THANKFUL that he at least sent me an email letting me know what he was thinking at this moment. As I said before....it still SUCKS, but at least he is decent enough to not just blow me off and never let me hear from him again! Sad that this probably isn't going anywhere, but glad to know there are at least a FEW decent men out there who care about a person's feelings and take the time to explain their reasons. I will very much miss our nightly conversations, something I was getting used to. Hopefully, (as he has been so far) he will be true to his word and still call me from time to time.
One VERY AWESOME thing did happen today. Preston bowled a 190!!! Yes, you read correctly.....the boy bowled a 190!! My dad and I were out there to witness the whole thing and I was so excited about it that I called my mom and one of my bowling teammates right after it happened!! What a cool thing to have happen to him. Course he didn't get to excited. I think the child could win a million dollars and not show excitment!! :)

It's getting to cold

Halloween is over, but Preston has SO much candy!! That kiddo came home with 2 bag fulls of candy!! He commented that night that he almost got a 2 liter of pop at someone's home while trick or treating. Good thing he didn't. At least he had a good time since this will probably be his last since he's going to be in high school next year. Good grief! Can't believe that!!
It's getting cold now at nights and I hate that! Hopefully, it won't get WAY cold for a while yet cause that's going to make a long season. It for sure makes it hard to get up and motivated in the morning!
In other news, not much has been happening. Been working a lot still. Still looking for other employment too, but it's hard. At least at work I'm doing more with the register than I am standing and stocking. Oh! I guess I am trying to learn to cross stitch! I went and got a kit and am having my friend (and doctor's mom) teach me how to cross stitch. She is very experienced at that as well as quilting and other things. She has really increased my interested the more we talk and the more she shows me what she has done. My first attempt last night at cross stitching was VERY hard!! It wasn't so much hard on my hands like my mom had thought, but my eyes. The area I needed to be in was so tiny to see. I think my friend is going to find some bigger material for me to learn on. Hopefully, once I get to learning, I can go to the "big girl stuff"! We shall see. It's going to be interesting to say the least, but I'm up to the challenge. I need a new hobby to learn, so why not that?
