Sleep is Awesome

Today was actually quite good. Again. Hooray!!! Although I didn't have much contact with most of my family at all, it's nice to have some alone time with the Boychild sometimes. I got home and decided again to stay up with Boychild for awhile. He spent most of the time playing out back, although he also came in to show me stuff every few minutes. We watched JoJo's Circus together and sang the ABC song and the 1 Little Indian song. He likes to sing with me, I guess that's good. Then while he was playing outside I watched the season finale of Doctor Who, which is the best show ever. Of course. I loved it, it actually made me cry when the Tardis was towing Earth back home.

After that was over, I finally woke up Hubby, whom I had let sleep in. While he was waking up I finally got to give the Boychild his bath. Normally he doesn't get it at noon, but he went into the bathroom, took off his clothes and diaper and stood there saying, BATH!!! I guess the heat was getting to him. We splashed and played, and then when he got out the little shit ran right outside and sat on our porch sofa. The dusty, dirty, porch sofa. While he was still wet. Needless to say Hubby gave him another bath tonight. Once Hubby got up, we spent about 20 minutes sitting outside on the sofa watching the clouds and just enjoying each others company. It's been a while since we just sat together outside talking about what we saw in the clouds, and it was really nice. We talked and laughed and joked and sang songs to the Boychild, and then I had to go to sleep.

I was able to sleep,(only getting woken up twice,) all the way until it was time to get ready for work. That's pretty unusual, and it was a really pleasant surprise. I haven't been able to find my cell phone since the bad day last week, and I really didn't want to tell anyone. Because, of course, that's what I do. I lose things. And it irritates everyone, only lately it makes Hubby really angry. He's afraid that I'll do that when it's really important, and therefore he wants me to break the habit as soon as possible. I couldn't agree more. But how do you stop being a scatterbrain? Anybody? Anyhow, I did tell him, and he was wonderful about it. He reached up to the upper mantle that I can't reach, and gave it to me, and all he said was "I put it someplace safe, to wait until you asked..." Then he gave it to me with a smile and a kiss and I was off to work.

Today is my friday, and I only work a 4 day week, so I may not post anything for the next few days. Then again I might. It just depends on my schedule.

Here are my goals for the weekend:

• Finally really get my bike fixed and gor for a ride each day.
• Take the boychild to the mall or the park to play.
• Get Hubby in contact with people for his community service.
• Have one date with Hubby, probably the movies again since it is free.
• Not allow my anger or irritations to get the better of me.
• Have an entire weekend without a single fight.
• Get mom out of the house, again probably to a movie.
• Figure out my budget for payday.
• Clean my room.

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of right now...
