The monster is coming, the monster is coming...

My son is coming home this week. I have completely mixed feelings about this which makes me feel like an ass. I had my son when I was 18 so I never really got to be a young adult and go and come as I please, unencumbered. I feel like ass b/c I am a little disappointed that this time is coming to an end. My dad was giving me shit b/c for the next 3 days I have plans after work so there is no time for my parents to come over and help me with the bunk bed I want to have for him as a surprise. But in reality when am I going to have this opportunity again? I am not sending my child to GA again the situation down there is not to my liking, they drive around 6 people in a 5 passenger car, they do not have daycare so some days the monster stays in the hotel his dad's gf works at, and I don't want him 4 states away!!!
So I will be back in mommy mode in 4 days. I love my son and cannot wait to see him but I also like being able to go out. I know that I have family that will help me out but really are they going to do it without bitching or getting on my case about going out to much. I am pretty mad at his dad for leaving the state. He had finally started taking the monster on weekends and when I had meetings during the week he would watch him and now he's gone so it's back to trying to negotiate babysitters and what not. I think his mom would help if I asked but I really hate to ask. Blah!!
Well in four days I will be back to mom mode, ready or not...

Random Post

I have a confession to make...I am a fan of Julia Stiles. I have a number of her movies. I like silly teen dramas and she did a few of them. I have noticed an annoying trend with her movies...they are doing remakes without her and they SUCK!!!! I have The Prince and Me which is a cute movie and now there is The Prince and Me 2 without her and it blows!!! I mean the whole character is different and just not good. I rented that one thinking it would be a good Saturday watch and was so mad I spent money on it! I should have waited for ABC Family to play it, it is that crappy.
Tonight I was flicking channels and came across Save the Last Dance 2 I did not see the whole thing but again what I saw was just not good. Come on now people come up with knew movie ideas please. I am tired of seeing crappy remakes. I realize that the movies I am using as an example are not exactly masterpieces but I like them and want to see them left alone.
