Pre-holiday rant

This rant has nothing whatsoever to do with the holidays. Oh, but I am frustrated though! All I want is a vacation with my man. I want him away from all the distractions which he too damn compliant about. People to whom he cannot say “no” and therefore I lose time with him. Do you know how much uninterrupted time I’ve had with him since we stepped off that cruise ship in Nov ’05? Maybe ONE night. One of the items I wrote to him in his 35 days of love earlier was about the lazy Sundays we would spend together. Well, we’ve had exactly NO lazy Sundays this year. Not one. Of course there are times when it is my familial obligations that prevent this from happening. But we are talking maybe 35%. My older son demands nearly none of my time and the youngest is with his dad 50% of the time. There have been multiple weekends when we could have done something. There was also those 5 weeks A was completely gone for the summer. Anything we have done this year has been due to my planning and prodding. Even just simple dinner’s out. I am pissed and he knows it. We have another opportunity next week. I am off work, A will be in Hawaii with his dad and M does not start his new job until Jan. I had to give in tonight and concede that trying to squeeze in a Vegas trip was going to be too expensive this late. Fine. Plan *something*! I am not asking for a lot. 2 nights out of an entire year? DO IT!

On a bittersweet note, I went to my second to last Winterfest concert tonight. The 5th graders sang Let It Snow. I’ve been hearing A rehearse it in the car for 3 weeks 🙂 Tomorrow night we go caroling. I asked Coach if I should be rolls of TP this year. His eyes got all big and he said “Oh yeah, that was last year’s caroling party that we did that huh? YES! I’m bringing some!” Oh no. It jsut so happens that my friend Grumpy and his family – who was one of the other TPer’s last year – is out of town until Sunday. Bwaaaahahahahahaha!
