i know i have not blogged anything in a while. mostly because i have had nothing interesting to write about until now.
a few weeks ago my sister asked me if i could babysit my nephew. my mom would be there too and all i really needed to do was entertain the little one until he was asleep then i could leave. i said yes and was looking forward to it. my mom would stay until my sister and brother in law got home. now for me, this is a schlep since i live 80 miles from downtown chicago. now she would have mom do it all but since she has a lot, and i mean a lot of stairs in her house and mom does not do stairs, i was it.
when i got to my sister's house and she opened the door i was greeted with a smile and a very happy "aunt miss". my nephew knew who i was and said my name. ok it was close to it but let's face it my name is not easy to pronnouce when you are 2 yrs old. i should know since i could not do it at his age either. so we got upstairs and my nephew takes my hand to show me all his new toys, his buddy elmo and anything else he can think of.
since it was dinner time we sat down while he ate his. he looked so cute sitting at the table in his booster seat feeding himself. i have to say at 2 years old, he does a good job with out spilling food all over the place. it was getting close to the time they needed to leave so my sister and i go upstairs to my nephew's wing of the house so i could see where everything needed for bedtime was. first it's the diapers. which ones for night time, then the pj's, the the stuffed animals or the posse as i call them. then finally the bedtime stories.
next thing it is time to for the rents to go. note to parents, just tell your child you are leaving. let them know you love them but mommy and daddy need some "them" time and that you guys will be back. saves the person watching your child 30 minutes of the screaming that will follow.
so after the screaming fest, going up and down 4 flights of stairs 4 times ( i did. not joke)
i put on elmo and sesame street and he sat down with puppy and panda to watch. my nephew was calm. the rest of the time went well. we watched it together, we played a little more, then while he was watching tv and in a good mood, i was able to get a video of him talking, laughing and enjoying our time together.
all too soon it was bedtime, 4 stories later, my little angel face was out like a light.
babysitting was fun.

it's been a while.
i was looking through my blogs and realized it's been a while since i have written anything.
i started to wonder why and then it hit me. i had nothing to say, nothing good has been happening and that's about it.
the last few months have been ok, not great but ok. in march my nephew turned 2, i found out work might be branching out and opening a 3rd store, my husband is still has not learned that i am not a maid, and the boarder who lives upstairs in my house is going to mexico for a week.
exciting news huh?
i wish there was something good i could say here but i can't. i think this might be the entry that is nothing but mindless babble. so you have the choice, read or hit the little "x" in the upper right hand corner.
every day i wake up and hope something good will come out of the day. i try to make the day good. i try to be nice to others, although i will admit that is a hard one at times.
i try and do my job as best i can, but let's face it, it's hard to be nice to a bunch of assholes who do not give a rat's ass about anything but themselves. i do my best to raise a good puppy but she is more interested in the world at times than me. i do what a good wife should, yet that one pretty much gets nothing in return. ok so i don't cook or actually do the laundry, but i do buy the freaking food and i do but the crap away. i also make sure everything is paid so no one has to ever worry. i clean this dump and make it look better than it actually is, of course that last 5 minutes.
so i ask you, what the fuck is the point of this shit??? no matter how you look at it, life fucking sucks. maybe i am feeling sorry for myself and having a pitty party of my own.
maybe i am entitled to it, maybe not. what pisses me off the most is that very few people ever noticed the good i do for them. not that i need praise every second, but a simple thank you does go a long way.
i did see something that made me laugh today. like the rest of the free world, i have a facebook and a twitter page. now there really is only a few people on there i actually would call a friend. some i have know since childhood, high school and college. some i became friends with because we share a disease and dogs (weird but it works for us) in common and there is one girl i met on there who has just been the sweetest (sorry k.k but you are!!!) and gets a shout out. she is the best. we share the same views on humans and life. those are the ones who are true buds to me.
i mentioned in an earlier entry about a woman ( the all about her blog), who was sort of a friend. since the falling out, we talk and banter back and forth. that's it, nothing major.
for the last few days, she and another girl who i was sort of friends with were tweeting back and forth how they were going to meet this weekend. what struck me as funny was they made it a point to tweet this every hour. i laughed every time i read it.
well they met this weekend, had a nice visit, and the girl was not gone maybe 10 minutes when she tweeted how much fun she had and how much she missed the other one already.
this went back and forth for the next few hours. "i miss you. you're my bff." how old are you guys?? even writing this i can not help but laugh. i can't help but wonder who they were trying to impress or what were they trying to prove. these are the things make the social networking sites funny. some people in the "all about me" group that i deleted have tried to re-friend me. you would think that they would have gotten the hint the first time when i deleted them and keep ignoring their request.
