Can't Sleep

It's like four in the morning and I haven't been to bed yet. I didn't get up any later than normal this morning, I have no idea what my problem is. It might be that I'm not at home,(I'm babysitting.)or maybe it's something else. I dunno. Last night, or two nights ago.. I went out with some new friends that I made who are from Wisconsin. They have a six month old son! Anyway, we went bowling and they played pool with some of their other friends. It was a really fun group and was the start of me craving more social interaction than I've had for quite some time. Last Wednesday I went out to a club with my friend Rachel. That was also pretty fun. It was my third time in a club and I'm getting a little more comfortable there. I sort of think it's ridiculous to pay $15 to dance and hang out, but oh well, it's fun! I made a friend at the club. He's a 20 year old marine from Philadelphia. He wants to work in an embassy someday, I think that's cool. Other than that I met a very attractive 24 year old security guard from Arkansas. His name is Brian and his birthday is June 20th. I like getting to know people. My newest friend around the complex is Theresa. She is twenty and has a 17 month old daughter. She and her husband are from Texas. When I was bowling I met two girls and three guys. One of the "girls" is due to have a baby May 5th or 6th and the other one has three little girls. Summer, the pregnant one is going to name her son Fox. My friend Russell from the video store called the other day and invited me to hang out with him and his wife.(She's due in August.) It ended up not working out, but I'm sure we'll get together some time. I've fallen behind in my bible study work book. I've been doing a lot of babysitting and socializing. It's all very nice, I enjoy it, but it would be nice if I could get my bible study "homework" done too. Sam and I are doing alright. We recently had some issues, but we seem to have solved them, or at least forgotten them for the time being, and it only took us like three days as opposed to a week and a half or more. We might actually be making progress, that's refreshing. Austin can scoot backwards and today he went forwards and I yayed him and then he went backwards again and cancelled out the distance he had made. He's gonna be crawling too soon for me. If I find free time this week Sam and I are going to go get a crib finally. I'm excited for that! Well, I should probably try again to sleep. The little boy I babysit for is going to be waking up in less than three hours now... Then I get to babysit Lexie, the 12 year old from 2:30pm-10:00pm and Alex, the 9 month old that I'm watching right now from 6:30pm-12:00am tomorrow. Wowza. Fun stuff. Bye for now!

More socializing is probably a good thing. It seems to me that you're probably doing a pretty good job of finding potential socializers. But goodness -- is everyone there either pregnant or already a parent? lol. Too cute. Lots of playmates for little Austin! Yay for him almost crawling!

This Week

Sam and I were suppose to go up north this weekend to visit his family but he had a Shaklee meeting he was suppose to go to on Saturday so we canceled. He ended up not going, but the weather was sort of crappy anyway so I was alright with it.

On Friday night he had one of his friends over. Omigosh was this guy funny. He graduated the same year as me and used to do drugs. So he's a little messed up because of that, and he admits it. He's got a big heart though. He's engaged to a 16 year old that still lives in his home state of Iowa. Anyway he and Sam played video games all night and most of the next day.

Saturday night Sam was going to take me to hitch, but his cousin called us from Santa Barbara where she and a couple of friends had planned on staying... they couldn't find a hotel, so they decided to come and visit us. So we skipped the movie and went home to clean for their visit. While they were over Sam invited a couple of buddies to join the fun. I was ticked off for a while at first so I stayed in the bedroom and played on the computer. Then I got lonely so I put Austin to bed and drank a little. That lightened my spirits and I wasn't upset anymore. I had a lot of fun talking to Sam's cousin and her friends. It sort of made me wish I was still in college/tech school though. Or it at least made me wish I had more of a social life. The girls left in the early morning and the guy who had stayed the night before stayed the night again, he didn't live until like six pm. After that I think Sam just went on the computer.

Valentine's day went better than I expected. I woke up with a valentine from the girl I babysit for outside my door, my dad called in the afternoon, and Sam brought me home a sweet card and some chocolates. Lexie, the little girl I watch behaved better than usual, which was wonderful, and Austin was great as usual. After Sam went to bed I couldn't fall asleep so I played with Austin and watched The Notebook. It was a really good movie.

Today I have no plans. My scrap booking lady brought some stuff over this morning that she had ordered for me a couple of weeks ago and Sam came home early and crashed on the couch. I was thinking about making him steak for dinner. I wanted to yesterday, but he told me to wait until I wasn't babysitting. Tonight he has a Shaklee meeting and tomorrow I get to go to one in L.A.

Shaklee is some company that sells a bunch of stuff. Sam got us involved in it because he wants extra money for a motorcycle, but I don't think he's too interested in it. I'm not greatly interested in it, but that might change once I learn more about it.

Baby Madness!

Right now I'm at Jessica's watching her three little ones and and her friend's little one. I got here about an hour ago and the three oldest are in bed on their way to sleep. I have The Prince and Me to watch and the cute little newborn to cuddle with. Sam stayed at a friend's last night to think and when he came home I believe he apologized the best he knows how. Which is good enough for me. I'm really glad that he did that. We bought a few movies while at the video store, upon Sam's wishes. I don't think we have the money for it, but hey maybe Sam knows something I don't. We had Taco Bell for dinner which is always wonderful. Tomorrow is a duty day and as usual I am not looking forward to that. I know I'll survive, especially since I'm babysitting Jess's kids again, but I really love having him around when he's in a good mood. Alright, I'm going to order some pictures off of yahoo now. :-)
