My weekend, so far.

Friday night Mel & I picked up Travis & we all went to a bar in Howard City to see Jason Eller perform. He is good, we had a good time. I know Jason and he knew I was coming to the show. His girlfriend was there too, along w/ a friend of their's, Joel. Mel & Trav were the dd (designated drinkers) & I was the dwd/d (designated water drinker/driver). There was a table with 3 females (they certainly were not ladies, and I am working on watching my language, so we will just use females) and 1 guy, they were heckling Jason most of the night. In my opinion, if you don't care for the music why stay at that bar- there was another bar across the street. But as the even wore on, I realized that one of the females must have been barred from the other bar. She was horrible. She was threating to beat Sara. Sara is very sweet, she has never been in a fight & would have ended up hurt. Mel was sitting next to Sara & could hear it all, I was on the other side of the table, away from the females & couldn't hear any of it. Mel told Sara that she had her back (that I heard & then asked what was going on). After I was told, I too told Sara I would have her back. I have been in one bar fight my entire life, I ended up with a broken nose (she threw two punches), she ended up w/ a broken jaw (I threw one punch). In defense of the females, only 1 of them was threating Sara- the other two were trying to get their friend to leave. They did end up leaving during intermission, while Mel & I went to get Mel another beer out of the car. (serive wasn't very good- found out later the waitress was busy flashing the kitchen staff her boobs). After the bar we ended up going to Trav's for a while, shooting the bull around his table. Mel & I went back to her house, super foggy out could barely see 4 feet in front of me all the way home- to find the child lock was locked on her front door & in order to wake up her husband we would have waked everyone up. So we went on a mission around the house to find an unlocked door or an open window. We finally found an open window, Mel climbed through & then opened the door for me. It was like 4am by this time & she didn't want her dh to know how late it really was.

Saturday I had to work for a few hours. I had to travel to Muskegon for a 30 minute meeting. My drive there was about an hour- one way. Good thing my boss knows how much I do for him (after I got back from my vaca he informed me that he is giving me another raise!). My kids went to J & R's in Grant while I went to Muskegon. They went swimming, how lucky! It was hot, not Oklahoma hot but Michigan hot & humid. (I don't know how you survive in Oklahoma hot weather, I would never leave the a/c comfort of a building if I were to live there!) After my meeting I ended up hitting Fashion Bug ,they were having a sale on summer tops & I wanted a new one. I ended up getting myself one new top, Gomer a new one & then 2 necklaces for us to share. I saved over $27 on the stuff I got, but still spent like $33. I then headed home to pick up Gomer and then we were headed to J & R's for dinner with my brother & his kids and Ty & Amy. After dinner we all went back to the lake & swam then we all headed to Ty & Amy's to play cards. My brother's wife met us at Ty & Amy's too. I ended up leaving there close to 11:30, I was tired and have figured out I must be borderline lactose intolerant. I had ice cream 3 times that day & I didn't feel well by the time I got home. No more ice cream for me for quite a while! Oh, get this. On the way from the lake to Ty & Amy's all of the kids except Gomer & Brina rode in my truck. So I had Lil'Man, Beanie of mine, my niece & nephew & Dev. My nephew informs everyone in the truck that Dork (my kids daddy) is living at these other people's home. Now keep in mind these other people he was referring to are Dork's xgf's parents & said xgf still lives wi/ her parents. My kids were pissed. So I ask my nephew who told him this, he tells me it was his uncle- xgf's brother. Nice. When we got to Ty & Amy's I tell my brother what was said, as I am telling him his wife walks up & is trying to listen to what we are talking about. I didn't want to tell her cuz anything I was to her always ends up getting back to those other people. But I was trapped, she asked what we were talking about and when I didn't reply she askes if it is something she isn't supposed to know. Well not wanting to make things worse I ended up telling her. She gets this wierd smurk on her face and doesn't say anything. Not sure how to read that. Later she tells me that her sis (married to xgf's brother) has told her that Dork & other person is where Dork told me he has been. (I know this is tough to follow & if you have any questions, IM or email me.)

Then this morning, Dork calls me. After I tell him what was said last night he suddenly has to get off of the phone. His remarks to the whole thing was a "really". Gomer wants to pack up all of his stuff and boot him out. Pretty bad when your own kids wants you gone.

Oh, Gomer has a boyfriend. I was going to make her wait until she is 16, but 4 years early is only acceptable because he lives in a different state.

Okay, more later. It is starting to get too hot in my house. I have no idea what we will do today to get away from the heat. Maybe I'll take my kids to a movie. That would be atleast 2 hours of ac heaven!
