Bad timing...
Mar. 24th, 2004 03:05 pmI had this grand plan to do some straightening up and cleaning and getting laundry moving again in order to feel good about leaving the house to take K to the park. I tried not to get too distracted by Livejournal, and I kept telling K I had to do some things so we could do fun things later.
Lucky for me I didn't get specific because now it's raining. *sigh*
And I really can't drive my car this week because it's technically not registered anymore, and my mom might give me hers next week so I am not going to pay all that cash just to turn the thing into a paper weight in 8 days. Seems pretty silly to me!
Crash's plane ended up being canceled, so he took a painfully early flight this morning that his Admin had neglected to tell him she'd booked- we actually drove all the way to the airport yesterday DURING RUSH HOUR, I dropped him off because K was asleep, got on the highway, took the wrong exit, got off to try to fix it, got a call from Crash saying "well..." and then in the process of trying to find the highway again I coincidentally found myself back at the airport :) I had awful Tacoma flashbacks, but it was also terribly funny. He came with me to hang out with M's mom and M and Velma over at M's house. K actually interacted pretty positively with M- he kept teasing her to get her to chase him! I would worry he's going to get the older brother syndrome of being an awful tease to get attention, but I was just so happy to see him walking up to another child and calling them by their name I didn't care if it was only to shove her a moment later ;) she was having a great time, she's a wrestler herself, in fact the last time he was over there with Crash to see M and M's father (OY I need to come up with nick names for them!) M had K in such a head lock that both Crash and M's dad were fearful for his breathing! They've both been watching just a little too much Shrek I think :)
But a lovely evening was had by all, and I got to monopolize Crash's time just a little bit longer, though I felt pretty ill toward the end of the evening and went to bed. I got up alarmingly early with him in order to say goodbye, and promptly began missing him about 2 minutes after he left. I know, it's sick, we've been married over 5 years now and together even longer than that, and I still just don't like to be without him most of the time. I do just fine when he's not around I guess, but I just like life better when he is there is all.
I got interrupted. K decided today would be a good day to take a nap. It's even a reasonable time for him to do so, so I don't fear intensely that if I let it go that it will lead to a late night, but I will likely cut it off at an hour or hour and a half.
I believe I will attempt to deal with the bedroom for a few minutes. I can't go play by play with the Fly on this one for pure logistical reasons, but by the end of the week I hope to at least have found the floor, and a new place to keep the storage bin in the middle of it. I might also just get in the bed and try to nap regardless of how it might go because if it is a late night all the coffee in the world probably won't help. Daddy usually puts him to bed, so I wouldn't put it past him to try to stay up and wait for him even if I tell him it's not going to happen.

I hate doing laundry.
