busy halloween

Yesterday was an insanely busy day. I had a few problems at work that took my whole day to fix, then I left work, went to pick up mak, and only had like 2 minutes before the bell rang. I am very nervous about being late. I always show up for things 15 minutes before i need to, so showing up to school with only two minutes to spare really bothers me. I pick her up and we went to the learning tree. This will be her new daycare, because the one that she was at is a total POS! Scott picked it out for convenience and cost. Well, some things you get what you pay for. Any one could just walk in off the street into the building, and while I am aware that I am slightly paranoid, anyone with a child in todays society will agree that there have been way too many news stories about people and daycares. Also, they sent us home a nasty letter saying that they weren't aware of something Scott was supposed to have delt with, anyway, they suck, and she's now going to the learning tree. So I went there with mak to finalize the paperwork and give them money. They don't take credit cards, ok, so I go to the bank, grab $120.00 for them for the week and registration (she only goes after school for 2 days) then we went home. Had to get her homework done before her dad picks her up. She complains that he never makes time for her to have her homework and 20 minutes of reading, so on wednesdays i like to get that done with her so that she has time. Had to write a letter to school stating her new bus route and everything. by then, her dad was there. I had to talk to him (which I hate doing!) and explain all the new policies and procedures with the new daycare, and figure out the money situation for that, then out the door heading to Wills. By now i am totally wound up and stressed, just from having such a busy day.

I call Will to see if there is a better way to get to his house cause the free way is all backed up, he doesn't answer. Ok, so I call my girlfriend Nae to chat with her, cause it seems like I never have any time for her anymore. She also doesn't answer. Ok. So i'm driving in horrible rush hour traffic, and will had told me earlier that he wants me at his house as soon as possible so that we could have a few minutes alone before his ma showed up. He calls back while i'm still on the road, and we chat for a bit. He tells me that his ma is at big lots around the corner from his house, so we won't be able to have any alone time after all, so he's all bummed about that, and I was too. so then he wants to know what I wanna do for food. at this point all I wanna do is stop driving! so he asks me to stop and get a pizza. ok, will he call it in? No, he doesn't like having to call. Fine! So he at least gives me a numer for hungry howies by his house, and i'm still 15 minutes away, so i'll be driving by it at the right time anyway. So i call, having no idea what to order. I get 2 large pizzas and cheeser bread. $30 and 45-60 minutes. What! that's insane! well what else can I do? i guess no one wanted to cook last night.

So I finally get to wills house, and his ma still isn't there. So we take advantage of the time we have alone. that made me feel better. then his ma gets there, and we sit around talking for a bit, waiting for the trick or treaters to show up. I'm all excited, cause they are so cute, and blah blah blah. Will even bought a case of regular size snicker bars to give away. then I go get the pizza, come home and eat. we pop in some tales from the crypt season 4 (not the best season at all, they were pretty lame.) we sat around talking with his ma until about 830 or so. I felt kind of bad for him, cause she kept saying how much nicer and bigger and better her house was compaired to his. I mean, that's a bit rude, isn't it? she must have said it at least a half dozen times. grrr. idk, so then we went to bed.

When I got up this morning, she was walking out the door as my alarm was going off at 530. didn't even say hello. idk, he said that she said she liked me the last time they were together, so i'll just not freak out about that. last night I was way too tired and stressed to even spend any energy on what she thought about me, which is really odd, cause I usually really freak out about things like that. Maybe because we were at his house instead of something more formal likke going out to dinner, or maybe just because I was whipped. regardless, it all ended up being ok. except for the lack of trick or treaters, which i was really bummed about. not a single kid. grrrr.
