I’m Not Sure I’ll Ever “Get Used to it”

April 5th, 2009

Since my divorce, I’m forced to share my baby girl with the ex. Every other weekend, every other Thanksgiving, every other Christmas, 2 weeks in the summer and every other Spring Break too.

Every other weekend is hard enough. I try to fill my time with things to do so I don’t sit around all mopey that she’s not here. She demands a lot of one-on-one attention so admittedly it’s nice to have a break sometimes. It’s just that by the end of the weekend I’m always stir crazy. I miss her within hours. dscn2705

Next week is Spring Break. She leaves for her dad’s house tonight. She’ll be gone 7 days and I’m not sure what I’ll do with myself to keep from going crazy. I’ve had friends tell me that you “get used to it” after a while but I’m really not to that point. I’m not sure I’ll ever be to that point. She’s my baby girl! How do I get used to not having her around? No story time, no snuggle time, no hugs, no kisses, no “I love Mommy” drawings….

So today, the plan is to stay in PJ’s and watch movies all day. I’ve got to get in as much cuddle time and laughter as I can before she disappears into the sunset for 7 days. On our movie slate is WALL-E and Kung Fu Panda. We’ll also finish the book we started reading last week, Black Beauty. But FIRST – she wants chocolate chip pancakes…..

It’s Chick-Time Again and I’m Not Talking About Easter!

April 4th, 2009

My friend Mia and I made a pilgrimage to LA last year to see Crue Fest. I blogged about it even, Chick time – to the max . It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life and it wouldn’t have been possible for me if it weren’t for Mia’s generosity. She gave me the incredible gift of that experience and I’ll never forget it. nikkisixx

I don’t know if she feels sorry for me or she just loves me this much but we are going again this year!

July 31, Crue Fest in LA baby!!! An action packed, kick ass rock show featuring Theory of a Deadman, Godsmack and of course, Motley Crue! Knowing how much fun last year was I can hardly wait for July to get here.

Mia was here for a visit a couple of weeks ago and it was such a blast to see her again. She hasn’t been to visit since I was still married to the ex. There’s a reason she hadn’t been back (the ex) but this time was much more fun and relaxing for both of us. She only stayed with us for 2 short days but we took a little road trip to Gainesville to see my sister’s band Broken Self. Rock shows – it’s our thing, ya dig?

I don’t get a lot of chick-time, what with running JobShouts.com with Michael and being a mom. These times that I can escape with a great friend and rock out and just be a goyle again – they are priceless to me. Maybe that’s why Mia has decided to sponsor these trips, maybe they are priceless to her as well. All I know is, I’ve got an angel in my corner; friend, thy name is Mia. Let’s ROCK! rockon
