yeah, so parker has some mysterious & totally barftastic little bug. just randomly started to vomit at about 11 this morning. so far the rest of us are fine. *fingers crossed that this ends VERY soon*
we had a full and fun weekend.
- d's brother, sil and nephew (judah is so flippin' cute it isn't even funny) came up from los angeles for a wedding and spent two nights with us. it was a blast; i just wish we'd had more time to visit. we're trying to convince them that n.cal is where it's at. i mean, really!
- we had soccer (both kids are doing really well, the games are adorible) and then yesterday went to the carnival at st. lucy's. d and i were waiting in line for ride tickets and a woman walked up and handed me vouchers for 60 tickets (like $40 worth...) hey, maybe good things do happen to us once in a while!
- bk met the five of us over at the park after soccer. it's strange, strangely not awkward... but also, i feel like he's just an outside observer in many ways. he watched d and the kids and me on the teeter-totter- giggling, slamming each other's butts into the ground, trading sides over and over- for fifteen minutes, smiling, but never trying to join in or assert himself as the FATHER in the situation. i guess i'm feeling like he just won't, that that time isn't just off in the distance but at the same time i'm glad he hasn't tried to undermine the kids' relationship with d.
- my dad's 56th birthday was yesterday so the five of us met him and maria over in santa cruz and had o'mei, which is pretty much the best sichuan chinese food around.
- d and i rounded out the weekend by staying up until 3 this morning giggling (and arguing of course) about the last year. tomorrow is our one year meetaversary, hopefully everyone will be feeling tip-top by then. ;)
- bk won't be taking the kids tonight with p sick and all; he was kind enough to pick up some medicine for her and drop it off but of course, the shallow part of me was distracted by his designer dress pants, designer belt (leather? on a vegan? really?), designer dress shirt and D&G sunglasses. i'm ready for it to be our turn now...
which leads me to this whole thing about them moving. i just feel deeply that it IS going to happen. and that it'll happen this way: he'll give very little notice that they're leaving. he'll tell me it'll be just for a few years. i'll have to break it to parker, but we'll all be okay, more stable because there'll never be a question that this is 100% me (and now, d). i'll offer his parents the visitation he has currently, more if they'd like it (there has never been ANY question in my mind that they adore these children and love them deeply). he'll visit every two or three months for a weekend. he'll propose to miss bk and they'll marry. they'll have a baby which somehow won't be so overwhelming to her as my two are currently. and they'll stay down in los angeles. rinse. repeat.
back later, more barf is imminent. i do have emotions on this matter too as it turns out.
