mom

Dude, my life has been hella stressed lately. Long story short, and to the fact that I was all hob-nobbing with Lawrence's parents that fact that my mom has been in the hospital since Saturday night. She's got spinal stenosis, seems like, and it's way painful. They gave her three shots of steroids to the spine yesterday plus some kinda numbing shot to boot. If it works, she'll have to have that done every 3-6 months for the rest of her life. So, that's fun. She just got home from the hospital today. I must say, it sure is stressful having to be a fer real single mother. I had to rearrange my work schedule so that I get off in time to be home for Ethan getting off the bus. Then I had to all help him with his homework and shit. What's up with that?!? AND I had to like, watch him all the time, and make arrangements for someone else to watch him when I wanted to go somewhere. What the HELL?!? How do people do it? Lawrence says I better get used to it, because when we have kid(s), this is what'll be like. I told him that this was probably not the smartest thing for him to point out. So anyway. My boss had me sign us up for NetFlix, and he's paying for it, but so far he's let me pick out all the movies, so this is AWESOME. Today, I was watching memoirs of a Geisha (which I still have 45 minutes left to watch, so I can't tell you if it's good or not.), and we got Over the Hedge, Thank You For Smoking, and Sleepy Hollow. It's very exciting, because I had watched all my movies.

Tomorrow Ethan is leaving to spend Thanksgiving week with his dad, and I am looking forward to a vacation. All this parenting has been absolutely exhausting.
