We spent two nights in the slanty driveway. It would’ve been one, but the socket broke, so it turned into a two night adventure. Now we have new drum breaks!! A had a hard time figuring out the first set, but the second went like butter. Done in no time!
Today I’ve bathed myself and done laundry. I contributed some more food to their kitchen and done a bunch of dishes. I feel like lots has gotten done over the past couple days.
Atreyu is currently sitting in the tree talking with a bunch of older school kids. One girl kept calling him a girl. G said that he doesn’t even look like a girl, so Atreyu said, “Yeah! look at my eyebrows!” Then there was a bit of crap talk between the kids. Atreyu’s response was, “There’s some poopy coming….. well… something sticky is coming at you!!!” He’s such a silly boy.
Being here with these kids gives a whole new picture to how silly kids are and their interactions amongst one another. The ones similar in age act very similar with their own nuances. Feeding them is an adventure of variety itself. Then the consistent pulling out of toys and fighting about them, jumping in front of another kid because they noticed the eye on a specific toy.
During the day there’s three 2 year olds and a 5 year old. Then in the evening G comes home. On friday there’s four school kids that come over four a couple hours. It’s crazy busy with kid activity and chaos. The only way I got to bathe was by putting on a movie and because my 2yo is slightly older and in a less attached phase. He still sat next to the bath tub for a good portion of me getting clean.
Since the older kids left, it has rain stormed. Galixy and I sat on the porch and watched the rain a little bit. I feel a lot easier about being here since we’re not technically stuck and on the verge of leaving. I figure we’ll be out of here within the next day. I just want to have my ducks in a row and leave on a good spange day. I figure if we leave tomorrow afternoon we’ll go fill up at the loves or go to the science museum. Or we could do so on Sunday.
Galixy just looked outside, “It topped waining today! Now me can go get my tarcup!” He’s such a talker and has new words every day it seems. “I’m gonna go on the bus and get something to work with my teethes.” Is a very typical galixy sentence. Or “one second! Be right there!” He seems so smart to me. I’m very proud of my silly world explorers.
Now as a song plays “It’s raining sunshine” the sun comes out and lights up our evening. Oh summer feelings.
I spoke with one of my friends today. She said she appreciates my “no bullshit” policy. It always makes me happy to hear from people (even when I forget to reply….). I just kinda feel like it’s a bit wayward, as complimentary as it feels to be the no drama lama. I feel like I do let a bunch of random bullshit reside. I just speak up when it gets to a certain point, or I feel like my opinion is welcomed, which is rare, I’d say. I just want people to feel the most fairly dealt with as possible. Not always reality, I know, sometimes all parties hurt. I’ll release my truth bombs on people if I see necessary, but I don’t expect anyone to be particularily receptive. Also sometimes it takes time to even hear a message.
I gotta go reply to some lovely people, I have neglected terribly. I’ve been refocusing some energy and doing some healing. Energy was spent in other ways.
Loving you!
