Been working on getting Sam to be OK with being away from Mom and Dad for any period of time. There's a little daycare at the YMCA and he pretty much just screams and cries the whole time he's there. And then when I get back there after a 20 minute workout or run he comes tear-assing over with tears streaming down his face and gives me a look that says "How could you leave me like that? Don't you like me anymore?"
So that's what we've been working on.
Aside from that, having a Y membership has been awesome. Totally gives me something to do with him every day, if I want or need to. Cause he really likes the pool, and being in the pool with him is easy and fun, and kills an hour or an hour and a half.
Jeanners has entered her busy season at work and has been putting in a lot of hours this week, so I've been on Sam patrol more than usual. It hasn't been too bad. Tomorrow I've got a meeting down at the building, and I'll be taking him with me, so I hope he stays calm and quiet. I'll have to bring some books and tows and stuff.
What else? I'm currently watching Pretty in Pink, which I have never seen. I think I was pretty much Duckie in grade school and junior high. The whole "riding your bike by a girl's house a hundred times" really rings a bell. I think I had graduated to Blaine by high school, though.
Not working has been fun so far! I feel like Jack Kerouac, except with a kid. I guess the kid kinda ruins the whole free-wheelin', On the Road vibe, though. Oh well.
