Flashback Friday (well sort of)

I'm sitting here at the computer with the littlest one asleep on my lap like a happy kitten, just waiting for the hubby to come home so I can get my feet and nails done. Ohhhh how I remember the days when all I had to do was to "just do it"! Not only can I not just do what I want but I have to wait on my slow azz hubby. Who "said" he was leaving work at noon. Maybe he mean noon "c.p." time *chuckle to self." I suppose things wouldn't be sooooo bad if I had family that was close and who had lots of free time. And when I say close, I mean like around the corner close. So that at least I can do the things that I need to do without having that "San Quentin" feeling.

I know what I need a dayum car. The hubby was suppose to be getting one for me but I don't know what happened to that plan, if he changed his mind, put it on hold, what? And as for a sitter of some sort. I know I keep going back and forth with the hired help thing but it's days like these when I really need to leave and I can't cuz I'm waiting on my hubby. And I can't just leave on public transportation (cuz I would) with 4 babies in tow. *shakin head* I'm startin to sweat just thinkin about that sh*t. Ohhh lawwwd *faint*

Then I was thinkin there is this Keith Sweat concert I want to go to (yes I still jam to his azz) at one of the local casino's up here (which there are many) and can't cuz I'm nursin and lawd knows if I tried to drive 10 miles by myself at night, I may end up in Canada. (which is very, very close to where we are in WA). I guess that "I need a vacation" feeling is catching up to me. It's not easy to put all your needs on hold indefinitely because you wanna do what you think is best for the kids. I'm tellin you the last time I've been out to dinner, with no babies was January. And the last time before that was January of last year and so on. So twice I felt like I had a break. *thinkin* [I really need to stop makin babies].

Dayum, I may just have to put a bug in my sister's ear about her and my niece moving back up here. I know that's bad. Wanting my sister up here so I can have some other family up here besides my babies and hubby. *chuckle to self* But I got that kinda sister. She'll move somewhere in a minute and ain't scared about driving around someplace and getting lost. (and yes I'm the "baby" for enquiring minds). Altho my hubby said if I wanted to go back to Cali he didn't have a problem with that. We'd just see each other on the week-ends. *thinking* How many families voluntarily do long distance relationships? I know folks in the military do it but what about folks who have "regular" jobs? Just wondering.

Anyway, my azz just rambling, it be like that sometimes. I was kinda feelin in that "back in the day" mood but decided against postin some old azz pics (I wouldn't wanna scare nobody) cuz ya gurl was kinda "hoogie-fyed" back in the dayz and didn't care. LOL. Dayum my azz done had kids and become "born again." What's up with that? *chuckle to self.* Okay folks that's all for me.

*hugs* - Mama Alyson

    uh huh. well how bout y'all move down south and y'all can borrow my family? my grandma loves babies. she can watch them chaps while you get your hair did, toes did, back cracked...

    and speaking of getting ya back cracked that long distance family thang might work for birth control purposes. '-)

    or else it might backfire and y'all might end up with another lil one this time next year... '-)

    Hey girl, I hear ya! After having #4, we were going to wait another 3-4 years before having another one. We needed a break big-time!

    But, along came Joshy so no breaky for us. We've been doing it on our own from the beginning, no family to help out. That's one of the reasons we are so close.

    Can't wait until these little chickitties get old enough to babysit the little ones. It's going to be on and popping then...lol.

    I dunno about having a long distance...
    I think you need to get your butt a car and then you won't feel so suffocated ~ and get out some because this place won't feel like 'home' until you're connected some how.
    I took the metro a bit when I just had one kid but you couldn't PAY ME to take all of my kids on the bus. That sounds like asking for stress.
    But who knows... you may have more balls than I...

    oh gurl you sound like me!!!!! gurl we had one car for a minute. his broke or something. i told my hubby he had to get his own ride. i don't know what i would do if i couldn't get up and go. have you thought that when you need the car to take your hubby to work? thats what i did. i have fam near but i don't like dumping all 5 on them. sometimes when my sister comes over i'll run and do something but most of the i don't only if i really need to. hang in there. it will get better. brink up the car thing with hubby again cause with 4 kids you NEED a ride.

    oh and i was in the same situation as Lisa C... trying to wait and getting preggers sooner than i wanted to.

    as far as the long distance marriage... well it might happen for me in the future as my hubby will start traveling and only be home for 4 days a week. i don't know how i will feel about not having him around and him not being here at night. depends on the how much money he will bring home. it has to be worth it or it will be a no go for me!
