So, me not working means I keep the baby while Harley works and does what she needs to for school, right? Somehow, that's now evolved to include driving Harley back and forth to work, taking Harley back and forth to Illiana's doctor appointments, being Tim's secretary and taking care of everything he can't take care of during the day (paying bills, going to pick up parts from Advance, etc), sitting with Kristina's Nanna during her treatments at the hospital, bringing my brother and the mechanics lunch, playing drop-in babysitter for anyone who needs it, and generally doing a lot of things I never expected to do, lol. I'm not complaining, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it's weird. It's kinda nice to have someone to do these things, I guess?

Tomorrow is my brother's birthday (which means mine's in two weeks!) and we're having a party for him tomorrow evening. Kristina was supposed to be off work half day, only she's not. So I get to go over there and get everything set up. With the baby. After I make deviled eggs and corn pudding and potato salad and preacher cookies in the morning, because those are my contributions.

Tomorrow is also Ronnie's social studies SOL and I'm totally freaking out about it. I think I'm more anxious about it than he is. He passed his practice SOL last week with an 84% (and he was one of the 4 students in his class to pass, out of 16, which is sad), but I'm still worried about it. I'm especially concerned since all the SOLs are computer based now which means he can't go highlight important words and cross out answers he knows are wrong and stuff. Ugh. Everyone send him good wishes in the morning, please?

Saturday, both boys have competition. Ronnie hasn't tested for his green belt yet, so they'll be in different divisions again. Davey can totally bring home three first place trophies if he doesn't fuck around and actually applies himself, but Ronnie has to focus a little harder and he just missed over a week of practice time because of his injury, so he'll need good thoughts Saturday as well.

If Ronnie passes his SOL and does his best on Saturday, we're gonna go to the drive in on Saturday night to see Fast Five (again, haha) and Limitless.

This afternoon, RT and I went to donate blood. They took for-freaking-ever to process us. We're both good bleeders, so it only took us like 5 minutes to tip the scales for the actually donation process, but we were there for like an hour and a half. But we each got 4 tickets to any home game for the Salem Red Sox (I still say Avalanche half the time) and two tshirts, and we got a huge bag of homemade cookies. Also, the boys were with us at first until Kristina came to rescue them, and Davey was legit disappointed that there were no actual vampires there. I should probably be careful what I tell my kids, huh?

Then we got home and we had a package from altiloquent and Crystal-who-no-longer-has-an-LJ, which is always funtimes! They are the awesomest, and they're moving half a country closer to me!! YAYES!

We need to get some discussion going. I feel so separated from all of LJ, and thus separated from THE ENTIRE WORLD! TELL ME THINGS!

Tell me your weekend plans.
Tell me something that makes you happy.
Tell me what you'd get me for my birthday if you could.
Tell me what you'd want me to get you for my birthday.
Tell me how much you love Brendon Urie's stupid face, and feel free to use pictures to support your argument. (and feel free to substitute "Brendon Urie" with someone of your choosing, but we all know Brendon is my favorite)
Tell me which season finale had you throwing things at the tv.
Tell me in 42 words or less why I should give your current main-fandom a chance (even if it's a fandom I'm already in).
Tell me, if we were going on a picnic, what would you bring?
Tell me what song you've got on repeat these days?
Tell me something you've done recently that you're proud of?
