Much on the plate
I have been very busy the last two weeks.
First of all, I’ve taken over as much as I can of the dj business. The fiasco of that missed wedding forced me to just do what I should have done months ago and I assigned all the dj’s for every event this month. I’ve got it all covered. But now I’m finding that he’s not paying the dj’s and I’ve had to pay them out of my own funds. Which eats into the money I had saved for the business. But, happy dj’s are needed. And it’s the right thing to do. I’ll go after my boss on my own. Considering the number of people who are lining up to sue him, I’m expecting him to try and declare bankruptsy. IF I decide to go after him, I’ll wait until after he does that to slam him. But I may just threaten him. I haven’t been paid for the work I’ve done OR the shows that I’ve done. Not that I ever expect to see anything. But Its fun to contemplate when I’m irritated with ANOTHER thing he’s neglecting. I just hope I don’t get screwed out of this somehow. I don’t think I will be, because the Gaards and corporate are working with me on this. But I’ve lost too much in the last couple of years to trust anything until it actually happens.
Looks like everything happens Labor Day weekend. I’ll have the business, I get to see a friend and just maybe have a date, and kids start school the week after.
Sunday was so much fun for me. I went up to Seattle to have dinner with some friends I’ve met through ldssingles.com. There were four of us meeting. But AGD brought his six year old son and his divorced brother, M2T brought her son who has been living on his own, and I brought Tadpole, and then WD just brought herself. We were a big group. We had so much fun. While waiting for our table we played with that old game where you squeese the handle and then it “measures’ your sex appeal. The two brothers won by getting the two top positions. I was “burning” and WD was clammy. Much teasing insued. Afterwards we went back to the hotel that WD was staying in, she was in town for business, and watched a movie and chatted until we were all tired. It was so much fun. Tadpole was the star of the party. AGD son LOVED the baby and kept playing with him and loving on him. It was adorable. And tadpole ate it up.
I really liked meeting AGD(yes these are all abbreviations of their handles). We’ve been talking regularly for about a week now and we have similar senses of humor. So we mostly share jokes. I really enjoy just laughing with someone over similar things. He likes those classic mini’s. Most people are familiar with the Cooper Mini. His is a BMW mini. He keeps joking about how he wants a bumper sticker that reads, “I drive a Mini…what are YOU compensating for?”
Tadpole is 14 weeks now. My, he’s getting big. He HATES going to sleep and fights it for all he’s worth. But he does hit his heavy sleep at 11pm. I can count on him sleeping from 11 to 7 pretty solid. He may wake up to eat, but he goes right back to sleep. Since he sleeps with me on the hide a bed, it’s easy to not jostle him too much to feed him. But the flip side is that he spend the first four hours or so of his day awake. He loves to stand while I hold him, he’s hitting that point where he’ll cry if he’s laid down. Which is sort of a pain because I put him on the floor not only to play but to practice flipping over. He can follow his head when on his stomach. So he goes from stomach to back when his head falls. He’s now chewing on everything. My fingers are his favorite, of course. He hasn’t shown any interest in chewing on things until about a week and a half ago. I’m pretty sure it means he’s getting ready to teeth. A and E teethed at 4 months, so I expect the same here. Although BG apparently broke teeth at 8 months. All babies are different, but these are my kids and so far Tadpole has been comparable to what A and E did at the same age in height and weight, so no reason to think he’ll be too much different on the teething. However, if he is, he is. No biggie.
