Easter bunny
Good morning … this is me. We were up earlier, but am just getting to the typing part. Our minds have been distracted. Oh what fun. I think we got up about 3 hours ago and it is now about 9:15 am. We had trouble staying up though, we were falling asleep at the keyboard. I guess we were in bed a little late last night, but not too bad. I just know that we did our paper for a while, and then we did cog class for a while, in that we got the ebook set-up and started taking notes. And, that’s about when our sweetie pie had gotten home and started cooking. He made spaghetti. We had dinner and then CAKE AND we got to watch a movie together. We put in American in Paris on our big computer screen and it was very romantic and we romanced and that was romantic too! He had turned around the couch which made like theatre seating. He is sooooo good to me … its just incredible. After that we got tucked into bed.
After a while of cat napping, whoop Chief is marking out his spot. Well, I meant the other cat nappin like when I was sleeping at the keyboard. Rich woke up sometime in there and we got a morning smooch and then he did his stuff and we did our stuff, and as often as possible we watched him do his stuff and we’re still being a letch when he walks by, but he’s handling that … he says softly … c’mon now … let me through. We giggle and giggle.
Oh and chief wanted to tell me something too. What a silly kitty … he’s letting me know his secrets, but he says I can’t tell, but since they’re about Rich, you can imagine that I’m into listening. He’s such a silly kitty.
Ok, ok … where we oh yeah stuff happened and now here we are. Both Rich and us have taken our showers and gotten dressed for the day. He is right in back of us working on something for work on his computer/coffee table, and we are at our computer. He also has CBS on but its pretty quiet, it’s not hitting our attention level hearing, though I see it’s interesting Chief, who is sitting next to me and watching it over our shoulder. Must be a guy thing … I want him to get cable channels, because I’m going to want him to be watching his fishing shows while he does his work and plays with his lures. I think that is going to give him incredible feelings that are exciting to his soul. He’s so gosh darn terrific. *SIGH*
Ok, ok … shhhh we’re going to try focusing more on school today and we’ve got a lot of reading for that ahead of us. I’m going to do that now, so we’ll catch up with you later.
This is the us that gets interesting little tidbit conversations with her Sweetie Pie as he switches from one task or another, or we stop to give ourselves a break.
He’s so gosh darn interesting. I find it fascinating that he would go to the store just for a mustard to cover the glaze on his Easter ham. Isn’t that the most remarkable thing? I feel more special than I ever have … it’s like he’s doing this just for him and us to have a nice meal. Or, he stopped to by flowers just to make sure I had a smile on my face? Oh man the guy is melting me. He’s absolutely fascinating. Maybe that’s what I could do is be reading psychology in a manner which I could apply it to him and our relationship. I know there’s work and learning and all that, it’s just that I find an incredible need to turn back my mind to sweetie pie. Hehehe he’s on the phone now. I’m not sure with who, but he seems pretty animated.
Mmmm Now it’s about 2:15 pm and we’re doing the after dinner thing. Sweetie left about 15 minutes ago. I tried calling my sons, but no one answered. I thought of calling my Grandmother, but that seemed a little scary … I have to try and remember it’s not as bad after we talk to her, but we get scared of the rejection. I should try? Ok, I did that too. I talked to both my grandmother and mother. I didn’t like that so much. They had just finished eating, but I could tell everyone was tired. I did tell them about Rich and us being together, but neither had anything to say about that. I guess I shouldn’t have expected much. I run against moral currency. Bleh.
Hmm, that was much more funner. We sent out a couple Easter cards to a few special people. That makes me feel better. I’m going to say something now too because nobody but us is reading, but Rich says if we lose 100 pounds (down to 225) he will take us on a trip to Colorado to see Deb. That be so awesomely cool don’t you think? I don’t know it was just before he left, so we didn’t talk much about it, I remember saying like a vacation? And, he said sure that we could go on vacation. I was so blown away with that piece of information; I didn’t know how to respond.
Hmm, just a 100 pounds, hmm? That shouldn’t be too bad? *Gulp* He said not to tell Deb, but since there are no calories involved I don’t see a problem with telling her … Its not like I at the chocolate bunny eggs?
Somebunny would have to probably do her paper first though. I was thinking though wouldn’t a nap be nice first?
Hmm, ok … nap time is over … It’s now about quarter to six. We just had dinner too. In a while we’ll go take our medicine. Maybe Deb will talk to us? I don’t know if she’s still in Easter. We asked her but she didn’t answer back yet. So, we’re thinking she’s busy. We gotta figure out what we’re to do.
Ok, shhh. None of that now … it’s time to be moving on … why don’t we try and do some school work. Hmm?? Let’s go back to the text and review the question. K?
Let’s just think of how to answer that and then we can go to the journals.
Ok … time has passed now … we took a couple pages of notes for school, but then two of our sons called back. That was really, really nice. It’s now about 7:50 pm. I don’t expect Rich for another couple hours and I’d planned to stay up for him, so I might get back into school, but for this moment, I just wanted to talk a little.
The boys seem to be doing pretty well. Maury had had the big party over at his place and I think there is reason to worry about his spending yet, but that is Maury’s worry and not mine. I know that family mean a lot to him and that he works very hard to good by both his family and the in-laws. He talked about the event with good enthusiasm, but I knew that it had tired him as well. There’s a lot that goes into that kind of thing both physically and mentally and it has to be well-coordinated with each of the members in his family. I think in that case, just putting the girls down for their regular routines is what will stabilize the feelings so he can again breathe and say well that went well, but it is over. Good Maury … I love when he does these things even though for obvious reasons I don’t attend.
Maury said that both his brothers were there and that seems to have been a good thing. Maury says that he and Thom are progressing together on their business plans and that the Uncle Chris is being very supportive of them. They have a lead now mid-week from one of the people Maury used to work with from the company that both Thom and Maury worked with. Maury seems very optimistic, and from all apparent cause there is not any reason to think less. He says that Thom seems to be doing well.
Joe also is doing well, or at least sounding optimistic. He had a conversation with his father about the “rooming” situation and I think that conversation included his step-brother Bob. While Bob apparently is working, Joe is not, but Joe is only spending some of the time on computer games, other time is spent at his old high school gym helping out with gymnastics and at his karate place. I think the time is being volunteered at both and Joe is within a couple of months of earning his black belt. I am very, very proud of him. I don’t think any phone conversation could convey that more. He is still hoping and thinking he may someday be a state trooper and I think that hope inspires his mind. Maury talked about taking a little vacation down to Florida with his wife to pick up his Grandmother and bring her back here. He will be paid most likely, but I think if he had the time and he would do so anyway for the opportunity to spend a little time with her. I was glad to see that happening.
With both boys, we talked a little about Rich being here. Maury also said that he’s talked to Thom and it seems the feelings throughout have been supportive. There was some doubt with Maury that Rich could do the same thing – cheat – with me as he did with his wife. I’ve considered that over the years, and periodically, we will tease him about it, but I believe that Rich considered another relationship because of lack of personal positive relating with his wife, and I don’t believe its ever been that way between us. Maybe there was 2-3 times when we didn’t resolve our issues by the same evening, but most often we have an it seems both of us find arguing distasteful. Both of us are motivated to get back to the part we’re being snuggly.
Maury talked a little more of his willingness to meet; Joe seemed perhaps a little more distant. Both boys thought it was disconcerting that the wife had considered them as possibly Rich’s children. Joe said it, that that’s just strange. We could agree. I was appreciate of both, especially Joe willing to listen to me go on for a few minutes about how different my life was this weekend. Part of the problem there is that I lack words to explain the phenomena. Joe was more sensitive to the problems the other family might be having in trying to understand what had happened this week, in that, I don’t really have too many people I can talk about it with.
Whoops! Deb’s on line. We’re getting caught up. You know what though … I don’t know if we said this, but Rich said today that if we got down to 225 that he would take us to Colorado. We asked why and he asked, Don’t you have a friend in Colorado. Then it was like Oh my God, no way, are you serious??? Serious?? Just about dropped my teeth straight out of our mouth. He said it was a secret, but what’s the good of best friends if you can’t share your secrets. So we told deb just now … and she said after that her husband David was standing right there and reading the news at the same time. It was like holy cow! Man o man … I told her without even knowing David had read it that she could tell him we were coming. One of her first thoughts was that they would put the BBQ on … Whoa. This is just unbelievable. We told her this was good because Rich really LOVED the out doors and she said she has plenty of it. OK OK she’s back brb
