Weekend Warrior

Friday:
Headed home from work a little early to walk Kasha before a busy evening ensued. Lovely day Friday, weather was gorgeous. Perfect Colorado day. Met up with K & S for dinner at Forest Room 5. Fab food, amazing atmosphere, but mostly it was nice to have time with my girls. We chatted each other up about current events, respective families and work situations and so on. I'm hoping to get this sort of thing on the calendar about once per month, b/c I am really feeling out of touch with the feminine aspect of life that I so revere.

Picked up C from motorcycle safety training and went home and promptly fell asleep. Probably the 2 vodka tonics and very little sleep from last week finally did me in.

Saturday:
Woke up uber early to take C to his motorcycle safety training. Snapped at him for rushing me, accusing me of not knowing where I am going and all around being a bit of a weeny boy. I AM a fully capable individual and I grow tired of his implying otherwise. That and I'm not a morning person, so silence or near silence is a great way to start my day. C generally has other ideas, he's pretty perky in the morning.

Came home and took the most glorious nap with Kasha on the couch. 3 HOURS! Can you believe it? The house was totally quiet and I was alone for the first time in I don't know how long. It was a no brainer, I sat down and was pretty much down for the count until my cell phone started buzzing. Max giving me the low down on the plans for the day, Chance calling to check in and so on. Time to get up I guess.

Made some lunch, cleaned house, gabbed on the phone with Kristen. Picked up C from motorcycle safety, took him home and met up with J & C and baby Evan for dinner. Max had been with them for a few days over spring break, so he was with them when we met up. I missed him, being away from him for more than a day or two seems like forever. I wonder what him being in Tennessee this summer will be like? Dinner at this place in Golden was so so, actually, it was kind of gross. I'm a bit of a guacamole Nazi and this guacamole was pretty nasty, more like some sort of green sauce then guacamole...which should be thick and chunky and flavorful, not goopy and totally unappealing. Food aside, company was good and it was nice to see J & C and Baby Evan. Seems like we mostly just see each other when we are exchanging children for whatever reason, we hardly ever just hang out any more. So that was nice.

Came home, Max took a shower and passed out. C passed out and I played some computer games for a while. C woke up and we played some spades. I like that game, I think I could get good at it. I whooped C's butt my first game, so that's always a bonus considering he kicks my butt in every other game we play. Went to bed EXTREMELY early for a Saturday night, that was very nice.

Sunday:
Woke up uber early to take C to his motorcycle safety training. Again. Snapped at him again for snotty comments regarding my error in the time in which Max needed to be to the soccer field. Max wasn't at all upset, but I did mess up and have him to the field to early. Oh well, I'm only one human being - certainly it's a forgivable offense? C wasn't too perky this morning, I think we were all very tired. I know I was.

Dropped grumpy-puss off at his training and took Max out to breakfast. Went to the soccer game, which they won (woop woop) and tried to working on Kasha's socialization skills at the game...only to discover that our little princess is in heat and is essentially in another dimension at the moment. She is pretty much out of control, poor thing...she doesn't know what's happening to her and she doesn't like it I don't think. I knew it was coming, female intuition or some thing I guess and now here it is and we have to deal with it. We can't spay her in the middle of a heat cycle, so now we are looking at 2 - 4 weeks of keeping her away from other dogs (especially male!) and being patient with her as her little hormones do their thing. Great! Just what we need....MORE HORMONES at our house.

After the game I came home and watched a squishy movie ("Woman On Top") on IFC and napped some more. That was nice:) I was on call Sunday afternoon, so I spent most of the day fussing on my laptop for work, driving C & Max various places and trying really hard not to bicker with the boys....they were both driving me nuts yesterday. Sometimes, the attitude, the constant demands and requests, the "me me me" approach AND the fact that I seem to have a giant dollar sign hovering over my head REALLLY begins to wear on me. It is at these moments, when I am worn down and feeling like no one is hearing me, that I generally loose it and then I become the mean, bad guy ogre which is ultimately convenient for them b/c then they can both sit there and tell me how mean, and awful and unfair I am.

I have considered locking them both in the closet, I'm not sure yet if that constitutes a child/spousal abuse or not...I'm researching that with my attorney.

All in all, it was a great weekend...I'm pretty tired, but did finally get a really good nights sleep last night. I'm going to need it!
