thanks for staying with us, we’ve been busy, tired, pissy, sunburned, drunk, annoyed and sweaty (a lot) since we last spoke. why am i saying ‘we’ all the time? we don’t know.
so it’s friday, the friday before the capt’s 1st birthday, and the captstranagaza (coworker jimmy says it better), and well, it’s the calm before the storm. somehow the guest list ballooned to 30 people or so, with 8 kids. or something. it’s going to be 95 degrees and we ahve a house that is 14 ft wide, so i dunno how the hell this is going to work. I do know that we have about 80 sausages in the fridge and enough baked beans to kill a platoon, so hell, how badly can it go?
i’ve been in hyper drive on the back yard. you seen, i’ve pinning way too much importance on how people perceive the patio/landscaping to my self esteem. i dont’ want to talk about it, no—shut up.
the capt himself, is just cruising along. crawling is all old hat now, and he’s into this pull himself up on anything that appears to be a stationary object. he’s also seems to be putting together thoughts, complex, sometimes evil thoughts. i swear he plots things now. this mornign he had then rope end of a dog toy (which henry hasn’t really used) and was threatning to put it in his mouth, when i would start to say “no-” he’d take it away and smile. i swear this is going to be just like aliens or something-
natty: “he cut the power!”
jefke: “what do you mean he cut the power, he’s a fucking 14 month old!”
We’ve pretty much made deals with 2 sitters for occasional work over the summer and regular work in the fall when natty does to school. they’ve both been over for ‘introduction’ sessions, and the captain is taking to it well. i mean why woudlnt’ he, a person whose entire purpose is to entertain him–not a bad deal. natty and i are having a bit more trouble. we both seem to feel compelled to entertain the babysitter whilst she entertains the capt. which is sorta counter productive. that and having a nother person in the house. as i mentioned above. it’s not a exactly spacious. i dunno, we’ll figure something out.
it’s only a matter of time till they find this site, if they haven’t already–the kids these days, there’ all interweb savy and shit. i expect them to just stop showing up after that. i mean, would want to be alone with the offspring of the author of this crap?
as for my lack of blogging,
I really don’t know what my problem is. often, in the evenings i have flashes of ideas of posts, but either can’t or don’t have the energy to type it up. then by the next morning, it seems stupid and i don’t bother. as my life is just work and the captain and gardening, well i’m sort of lacking for the ‘jefke aggrevated at the clerk at _____” type posts. so i dunno, i just lost the will to blog. and the guilt trips about it, that’s really motivating, thanks-fuckers.
so we’ll see. after the big party i have a couple weeks until the big family vacation, if that doesn’t yield anything then maybe i’ll just pack this shit in. not trying to be dramatic. but i dunno, seems like a waste.
anyway. we’ll see if i can’t get my shit together.
