  •      I've been gone for a while, this I know, but you know, life is keeping me busy.

        Jack is two now, the big 2! He's just a precocious little guy, talking and singing and my god, can hold an actual conversation. It amazes me how he can string entire sentences together. He's growing, and huge and healthy, eating so much more than he was a month ago. An altogether joy, and I know it's going to be an awesome summer. His birthday party a few weeks ago was a huge hit, as expected, should have been as I was planning that shindig for three months straight. Lots of people and food, money gifts and toys galore.

         We also have a cat now, who we named Gravy, who is now aptly called Kitty. Having a cat means that we no longer have a hamster. Today, we also drove out and got a dwarf rabbit, which means Jack is a hit with all the neighbour kids. We took Bugs Bunny out for a walk on his leash and harness and this thing is too cute. I'm working on finding a dog this summer. This is the summer I will get a dog.

         Family is doing alright. Mom is still working, I wish she didn't have to but she does. Dad has been home for the last few months after the company filed for bankruptcy and he's now on the prowl for a new job. The twins are getting bigger, and have had a few sleepovers here in the last couple of months. They'll be excited to learn that we have a bunny here.

         Work is going okay. Trying not to complain about work as it's only two days a week and I've had WORSER jobs than this. I've been asked to do a full couple of weeks in July and I said yes. I won't get to see Jack much those weeks, but I can imagine how big that paycheck will be, and I do need the money.

         No boyfriend. No prospects. Which in turn means no unneeded drama and a carefree summer.

  •      Hmm, lots of protective posts lately, though, I do think I have reason to be just a tad cautious and protective.

         Anyhow, Jack update! He's brimming on 22 months now, although from the comments I've gotten, he sure doesn't look it. He's a big boy, just a little over 3 ft tall, 32 lbs. HEAVY. There's not a day that doesn't by where he isn't glued to my hip wherever I go (I love it). He's talking a lot now, you can actually sit and have conversations with him and it's amazing being witness to how a child grows, physically and intellectually. He's a smart kid, recognizes maybe 17/26 letters of the alphabet, can count up to 5, and knows his primary colours in both English AND Cambodian He's starting to piece together words into makeshift sentences and it's adorable. He's a big goof, loves to laugh and play and where he gets his energy from is beyond me. Jack is non-stop all the time.

         I swear I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, a lot of them yet to be corrected but this kid always, ALWAYS helps me realise that I'm doing something right in this world, raising him.

         Here's my baby.

  •      It sucks not having any money. I can't go out anywhere, even when I have the time, which I do now - Jack left earlier this evening and won't be back until tomorrow night. I'm just sitting here now, bored as hell.

         I need a hobby. I can't think of anything that I would like to do on a consistent basis that won't bore me or cost a whole bunch of money. There's the gym, but I haven't been the healthiest of eaters lately and that motivation just isn't there. Plus, when there are no results, inside or otherwise, after a few consecutive workouts, it's just exhausting and feels like a waste of time. I just don't care enough to care.

         Utter boredom. Highlight of my night will be using those Biore Nose Strips, and I probably won't even get to that. Lazy and bored, be glad you never have to deal with both at the same time.
