oh hi.

I guess I took a break huh? It's been busy. The business thing we're doing is THISCLOSE to being done. It was supposed to be done on Tuesday, but banks and their nonsense and ONE MORE THING have pushed it to this afternoon or at the latest tomorrow. WE SHALL SEE. I think it's why I haven't written much here. I can't talk about the big thing until it's legal and it's been occupying large amounts of space in my already crowded head so hence, the radio silence.

Other things taking up large amounts of space:

My stupid job. Oh my sweet Jesus it has been stressing me out so much. On top of the other thing and having a kid who is almost two (WHAT?!) and a house to clean and laundry to do and football parties and shopping and and and... I know. First world issues. But still. So effing busy. Like most people I know.

My son who is not a baby anymore. Seriously. I think about this sweet boy all the time. His love for me these days is so huge, so all consuming, that the responsibility of it all can be heavy. I love him with the same passion but to be on the receiving end of that kind of love from a little person - it will blow your mind. Not that he doesn't love his Dad, he does, but these days it is all about me. He wants to be with me. He takes my hand, walks me to the couch and demands that I sit with him. Actually, demands that I let him sit in my lap while he watched his TV and plays with my hair. And I could be doing a million other things, but those things will have to wait. This boy will not want to sit in my lap forever. He will reach an age where hugs and kisses and affection from me are his kryptonite. So I soak it all in. Enjoy every second. Because I blink and he's two. And I'll blink again and he will be a seventh grader with an attitude.

My mom and I  and the kid  are taking a trip to see my sister this weekend. Quick trip, drive up on Saturday come back on Sunday. But it will be fun. I expect that there will be a lot of "DON'T TOUCH THAT"  while at my sisters house with the toddler. Her boys are older (9 & 11) and she already warned me that they tried to toddler proof parts of the house for me, but couldn't make any guarantees that stray lego pieces wouldn't make it into the toddlers hands, so BEWARE. I appreciated the effort. It's just one day and one night. I am pretty sure I can manage that.
