Good afternoon!Last night, watching TV or going through the Guide channel I was very grateful not to have TV on a regular basis. It was totally demotivating and depressing. I think the most entertaining programming was Peppa Pig, which is a kids show, if you didn’t know, and I now highly recommend that if you must, you should check that one out. Not as good as Yo Gabba Gabba featuring Jack Black.
Then, I scrolled my newsfeed and realized that I have like NO real friends that I speak to on a regular. I poop in my boot on that too much. Just when I had those thoughts, my paypal dinged. Crikett sent me a donation. She said it was for me because she’s happy that I’m doing something good for myself. How very kind and thoughtful of her! I do feel a little bad that my lifestyle choice is costing people around me their hard earned cash, but I’m not twisting anybody’s arm either. I got to do some adult chatting and felt a lot better. Especially than I had that morning.The night itself was restless. We played bed-roulette. I awoke with Atreyu crawling into my bed. Then, I woke with a start because Galixy almost fell off his bed. I can’t even explain what startled me, he didn’t fall but he was so close. I cuddled Atreyu up and went into Galixy’s bed. Before the sun came up, we were all in the same bed. I had unplugged the fridge in hopes that it not running all night would allow me to sleep in. Not so. 6:45 AM and we were up. I did wake up before the boys, I should’ve just turned over and gone back to sleep. I just really enjoy Hotel breakfast, so I got up.
The hotel breakfast wasn’t bad. Tons of options, but missing fruit. After eating I tossed the boys into the tub another time. I offered going swimming, but Atreyu said he preffered to watch TV. I feel like if I tell him “no” all the time to his “favorite thing to do” He’ll not only resent me, but end up watching TV throughout his adult life. Or, if apocalypse fantasies come true, he’ll be so mad that he missed out on it all. So I’ve decided to not feel so bad about the hotel binge.We checked out of the hotel at about 10. The front desk lady was super friendly. She really liked our bus. I’m glad it made her smile. We drove to Tucumcari. Galixy fell asleep on the way. I pulled up right to a playground. Atreyu was eager to get out and play.
W
e’ve been here since. The animals happy to be free. The kids enjoying the sun. The wind just picked up, so I kind of doubt we’ll be able to leave town today. I wonder how we’ll manage all the “no overnight” signs, especially after we’ve gotten kicked out of the truck stops last time we were here. I’ve got to call Tom, who said he’d help me out with some Diesel.
Since we’ve been here, we’ve had plenty of people oggle the bus. It’s a very quiet park. Only two sets of mom’s have brought their kids to swing or go on the merry-go-round. The boys just tackled each other. Atreyu says he wants to be alone. I think he needs some food. He’s being a little mean to Galixy. Now Galixy is complaining at me that I made his brother sad. heheheThey are being grumpy right now. Time for some quiet time.Loving you
