Jacquelyn's Space

Ah me. Three whole days of not having to worry about kids. Two glorious snow days. Thankfully my nephews were with their dad. Now it comes to an end. He has to bring them back because it looks like there will be school tomorrow.

What did I do with my time? I played The Sims 3, I watched a corny old movie, I listened to music and sang, I shopped online, I took a few pictures of the snow…but mostly I luxuriated in the silence and solitude. It was lovely.

I am watching the old movie “Humoresque”–it is about an violinist and his patroness. The movie is okay–melodramatic–but the music is good. All the classical favorites. I miss listening to classical music. I used to listen to quite a bit but I don’t listen to music much anymore. I don’t know why…I just never get the urge to put it on. Well, it kind of wears me out emotionally–all music really. First, I like most kinds of music and there is so much to choose from. Then the memories…or the stories the music tells me…

I used to sing in the shower too– that kind of stopped when I moved in with my husband. Too embarrassed I guess. Now there are even more people in the house to hear me. I don’t know if I am up for it but I miss it.

I suppose I’ll have to put that on my to do list…listen to music more.

My brother finally picked up his boys after 5pm yesterday. My husband and I finally got a little bit of a break. We went grocery shopping–boo–but then we came home and had some time to ourselves. It was awesome.

I had to work today. Sundays are the only day I work at this point. Last Sunday Byron, my manager who is like a little brother to me, called and asked me if I wanted to stay home because it was so slow at work. Sure! So I sat around and played The Sims 3 all day and then me and my husband had some quality time after I watched Downton Abbey–good day.

I couldn’t be so lucky as to get another Sunday off, especially a snowpocalypse Sunday. I called up to work this morning to see what time I had to work–I am such a bad employee I don’t know, lol. Well! They put the schedule up on Mondays and rarely can I get in there to look…But anyway, I called to see and the store manager answered. Yikes! What is she doing there on a Sunday? Super Bowl Sunday at that. I don’t have any idea but it was surprising.

She was nice and told me when I worked today…but then she told me that it was so slow they were going to call somebody to see if they wanted to stay home, would I like to stay home? Sure! I told her I’d really like to stay home because the snow looked yucky. She laughed and told me to enjoy my day off. Thank you I will.

Now what should I do today?

Let down again. My brother did pick up his boys again. He says he is on his way now but I have no idea when he will arrive. He will not tell me where he is at– yesterday I know he was in New York–and there have been many times he tells me he is on his way and it takes him hours and hours to get here. On your way from where? The moon? Can I get and ETA? The triflin’ motherfucker is high as a kite too…

So this morning there was no milk in the house. I didn’t expect to serve the boys breakfast. I was too tired to go to the store last night…

I had to get my ass motivated this morning and run to the store. Well, I had to run to the post office too, then I went to the grocery story with thoughts of donuts and bagels giving me the kick in the ass I needed. LOL. So I picked up a ‘few’ things, saw an old friend I hadn’t seen in a long time. Made my morning. I think I made my nephews’ Saturday morning because I bought them donuts and a Quiche. They love Quiche. Just waiting for it to heat up and then YUM!

The FedEx guy has already come and gone– he brought some of the stuff I ordered for Valentine’s Day. Yay! It is happening tonight! I am getting that stuff out early, ha 🙂 Well, if only these kids would get picked up.

Should have bought 2 Quiches. The one I bought was just enough for each of us to have one piece. It was good but everybody loves Quiche and I know my nephews would have loved more. My husband made the comment “Real men don’t eat Quiche.” Ha! My youngest nephew said “That’s wrong. We’re men and we like Quiche….Well, we’re real men except for Aunt Jackie; she’s a gur-rl.” LOL, it was cute. Then I remembered I actually ordered a Quiche pan and recipe book over a year ago so I dug the book out (and found 4 books I am going to sell on Amazon along the way). I’ll have to try to make my own Quiche.

Looks like my brother is in Ohio. Grrr.

I had to make the boys lunch. I hate making lunch. I rarely eat lunch; I usually only eat two meals a day and I mostly graze. I shouldn’t have to make the boys lunch because their dad should have picked them up already. He called a little over an hour ago and said he’d pick the boys up by 4pm. It is like why bother now? The week-end is half over. Plus it is a little after 4 now and he still isn’t here. Total BS. And to think my husband would get yelled at for being a few minutes late to pick up/drop off his son.  I should start being a super bitch like that but I don’t think it would do any good…anyway, a few minutes to an hour I am not too worried about or even it my brother was late like this once on a blue moon. It is the hours and days late on a regular basis that pisses me off.

I got naughty stuff on the brain! I have been super horny lately. Is that okay for a woman to admit? Ha ha ha ha haa. I don’t know what it is– I thought it was the early 30s that was the most friskiest time for women. I am hitting my mid-forties now and it is back again. Yikes.

I ordered me and my husband some stuff for Valentine’s Day. I can’t wait til it gets here. Valentine’s may just have to be a little early this year–HA! I will not tell you all that I ordered but I will confess to ordering some porn; I like porn. Is that okay for a woman to admit? It should be. I am not into anything really freaky or, hhmmm, super nasty or illegal…I just like to watch people fuck. At first I wasn’t into it. Hell, I was a virgin until I was 28 so it was a bit embarrassing, and a little stomach turning at times…but my husband has been a bad influence.

I did not order lingerie. I looked but I can’t justify spending lots of money on something that I’ll only have on for 2 minutes. Maybe for the romance side of things I will get us some champagne and chocolate.

Oh yeah. I went through my lingerie– I got a lot of nice lingerie I never wear. Yikes! No need to buy more.
