This week seemed to drag on and on and on and on and on.... I was beginning to think that Friday would never come! Well it finally did and it was not the Friday that I was expecting.
I have a project due Monday and had not really started it yet. Well I sat down in a room away from my office where I knew that I would not be interrupted and started in. It was quiet which was nice but I still did not finish everything that I wanted. Looks like I might be working through the weekend on it. Or at least that is what I am going to tell myself.
Last night was especially taxing emotionally. It has to do with Mr. Big's ex and her drama that she bring his way. Well now she is tryig to reach out into my little world out of what I can only assume is desperation. Don't get me wrong, he has done nothing wrong and it was all her acting like an insane person. Anyway it was a real test of my patience and actually my commitment to him. I do have to admit I said a lot of words in spanish that I have not used in a long time. At one point, Victoria told me she was glad that she dosen't understand spanish! I told her, me too! I got through it and have decided that I am not going to stoop to her level. Not that I didn't think about doing it though! I would get into what exactly happened but she is not worth me rehashing it.
I was expecting to spend the weekend alone since he was going to a wedding back home, but work got in the way and he missed his flight. While I am happy to have him with me, I was thoroughly prepared and had planned on spending the weekend alone. On to plan B! Perhaps we can see a movie tomorrow with the kids. I really do feel bad that he was not able to go home.
I am really going to try and keep up with this silly thing. I know I have said it before but it is nice to have a place where you can write everything down.

i'm back!
So here I sit, or should I say lay, on my couch. The last time I posted was on Valentine's Day and that was over a month ago! I really should keep up on this blog. So here is the short and skinny of what has been going on here in the cold north of Wisconsin:
The kids are doing well in school! Even little Abigail seems to be getting it together when it comes to her homework. Her teacher even sent home a note saying how good she is doing! Far cry for the negative that I have been getting from her for the past few months. On the recommendation of the director of School Age Services on post, I purchased an accordion folder for her to keep track of all her work. At the last parent-teacher conference that I had with her teacher we had discussed that if this worked we would try to work something out for her desk as school as well. I suppose I will know for sure when her next report card comes, but I definitely have seen her really trying to conquer that mountain and she seems to be succeeding! Victoria is getting to be quite the tween! She has lots of attitude and the eyes rolls are excessively abundant... I try to keep my patience with her, but geez if this is a preview of what is to come, I am going to have my hands full! Other than that, grades are good and she is growing into quite the young lady. Nathaniel is the same. Mom's little baby and story teller extraordinaire! He has decided to go with the "white-walled, high and tight" hair cut and even though I had my reservations, it is growing on me and is actually pretty cute.
On the relationship side of things, everything is going well. I am going home with him for a wedding in May so that is good. Truth be told, I am extremely nervous! The ex and I never met each other's families before we got married and come to think of it never even really did the whole courtship thing in general. All of this is so new to me, it's scary. I know he loves me and of course I love him. Our lives are progressing so smoothly and as he always says, "it is so easy." I never knew that a relationship could be like this. Of course I still have my issues which I have discussed in previous blogs so I am not going to revisit them. I am working through them and I find that with each week that passes by, it gets easier. He makes it so. <3
Speaking of easier, it is getting to a whole lot easier to survive up here by myself. As I like to say...
Work is easy, Pay is good, My boyfriend is hot and The beer is cold! You really can't ask for much more than that....
