Is it really Tuesday?!

Friday night we went to dinner with my family (Mom, Dad, Char, Jared, Jenn, Rob, & Kam). After dinner Jenn, Jared, Rob & I went to Wal-Mart for some little things Rob needed for his trip. Jenn needed something too but I can't remember what.

On Saturday, June 6, 2009 I got up and finished washing/drying Rob's clothes. Dreading taking him to the airport! We then decided to go to Jamba Juice & Einstein Bagels instead of IHOP or something like that. We enjoyed each other's company & went to the University Mall to look for a phone cover for his phone. His phone quit working the previous week so I made sure it was working for his six weeks away. While we were at the mall, his father called & yelled at him not to miss his plane so that ruined the mood. I was ticked when I found out!!! We got to the airport in good time & I took a couple of pics so he had something to remember the day & his first plane trip. I was sad he had to do it all alone. I kept reminding him that he was only going to be about 12-13 hours away so if he needed me, I'd be there.

I cried all the way home. I actually almost had to pull over to clear my eyes it was so bad. I really hated this whole idea of him going out of state for two reasons: 1) his dad has threatened to take him away so I would never know where he was for years and, 2) because he had to fly alone. His step-mom (I use this term loosely just because she is married to his father!) is psycho & throws a fit when Rob wants something to eat. I won't deal with her any more because of her fits. I also have had to tell Rob's father that she needs to behave or I do not have to force my son anywhere near her which could interfere with his visitation. I have NEVER denied visitation as long as I know where they live & contact information. I feel it's Rob's right to know if his dad is a drip or a good dad. I have my own opinion. This trip I required proof of a return flight as well. I even checked Google to see if the address they gave me was true. I just can't shake the feeling they are being dishonest sometimes.

After having so many troubles with computers last week, I'm trying to play catch up at work. It's been a joke but I keep trying. I seriously need to take some days off! I think I'm taking 1/2 day off Thursday since the kid that works for me is gone Monday through Wednesday next week. AHHHHHHH how in the crap am I going to deal. I think I may live at work those days!!

Tonight, we tried to get Kelsey's royalty together to discuss what they are planning this year. Every year we have tried to get all the girls and their families together for a "get to know you" meeting. We started this last year and it seems to get the girls that show up a little closer and dispell any misconceptions. This time all of the girls came except Kelsey's 1st attendant who forgot. Each one only brought one family member though so I have a TON of leftover cookies, brownies, and mini cinamon rolls. Ah well, I'll figure out someone to give them to. HA HA.

Well, it's late and I have a ton to do at work tomorrow. Have a great night and keep smiling - it makes people wonder what you're up to!
