Charlotte and other Crap

When I was at the gym this morning they had on Regis and Kathie, whoops been a while since I saw the show, Kelly and they had on Kristin Davis.  She played Charlotte on Sex & the City and I always thought she was very attractive.  Anyway I'm watching and I realize now I know why I am attracted to my female roommate.  They look similar.  Yeah, mystery solved.

Bummed my friend Anna cancelled on me on going to this business networking thing tonight.  I hate being in a room of people I don't really know.  Although that isn't true since I do know some of them, just not real well.  One thing that I will have to deal with and it's not even mine.  It's an old patient that stiffed me $50.  I finally wrote it off this year, but I'm trying to let go of the anxiety of running in to her tonight since I know she will be there. And I'm not the bum who stiffed.  I know I am weird.  So some character building stuff to work on while I am there.  Wonderful.

Well I Went & Did It

Well I went out and bought myself a digital camera for my birthday.  I think it was Rebecca's In the Shadow of the Iris nostalgia pictures that pushed me over the line in buying one.  I realized how much I wish I had taken pictures over the weekend with Eric.  I felt a little uncomfortable shoveling the money out for it since I know I could pay of some things with it.  However I know I have to treat myself every once in a while to stay sane.

So I have been taking random pictures today.  I wish it wasn't such a horrible day outside so I could take some outside pics,but I guess that will have to wait for the weekend.

Just Like Kids

The deal I have with my Mom is that she has to walk in her unit, but outside I will push her in the wheelchair.  So today as soon as we got down the hall she had to go to the bathroom.  So I pushed her back inside and straight to her room since it would take her at least 5 minutes to walk back across the unit.  I told he that was the only reason I was pushing her in here.

Well after are little outing I push her back inside.  I bring her walker out and tell her okay she needs to walk.  She's like, "I have to go to the bathroom."  I responded, "Well you better hurry up and start walking then."  LOL.  Jeez worse than a 5 year old.  She didn't have to go and grumbled about walking all the way to baking class. 

You really need to keep old people occupied or they really focus on all the little petty stuff.  Why are they sitting there?  Where's mine?  Etc.  Oye!

Let's Get Ready to RUMBLE

I forgot to mention our highlight of the visit.  I think it is more a boy thing, but rough housing is a integral part of growing up.  I know because I didn't get it growing up and boy did I miss it.  So I have to my Daddy duty when we get together since I know no one else will do it for Eric.  He usually can't wait.  So it's always time for me to pull out all the moves.  The Figure Four, Scissors, The Sandwich, The Burrito, and the dreaded Pile Driver.  We usually end up stopping cause our sides just hurt to much from laughing.

Weekend Rant

I can't believe my ex lets Eric be such a SLOB.  Half the words out of my mouth when we are home are, did you flush the toilet, did you put that away, did you put that in the sink, did you put you dirty clothes in a pile.  Oye.  I would hate to see the inside of their house.  Eric is always saying he can't find stuff and I know it's because he doesn't put anything away.  It is going to be such a problem for him when he gets older. 

The second is that he has picked up my ex's avoidance of problems.  Everything he dislikes or fears he avoids like the plague and I can't find a way to help him with some of these problems.

Like after any time I spend with him I feel like I am not cut out to be a father.  The usual defect of not being good enough, but I think it is coupled with I think it should go smoother.  Whatever that is?  I know it is all crap, but the feeling still comes up before I toss it out.

My camera is still broke so I need to pick up a digital camera.  Let me ask you.  Can it be 3 megs or does it have to be a 5 meg camera?

I think one of the reasons Eric enjoys our times together is that we do a lot.  For me it's just my life.  Since he was an infant he has accompanied me on my daily stuff and we had fun along the way.  So he is use to those days chocked full of stuff.  Christine one of my friends always worries that I am going to give myself a heart attack with all the stuff I do in the day.  It may seem like a lot to most people, but there is a lot of free time in between for me.  Like I describe myself I am high energy.

Since I got many comments about this I will explain.  I have visitation with Eric the 3rd weekend of every month and 2 weeks in July and 2 more in August.  I just don't have the extra $300 a month to do it every month.  So I work hard to make sure I can do it every few months.  Just doing the best I can.

Weekend Recap Part III Finale

6:45 Eric actually slept last.  Some breakfast, chess, and cartoons found us grabbing some Wendys before heading over to the Air & Space museum.  They added a Firefighters museum next to it so we took a look at that also.  That was fun I got to finally pull one of those fire alarms you saw in school.  It didn't do anything put it was therapeutic none the less.  Living so close to the Navy bases I was surprised how much I knew about all the jets.  Eric liked the one jet that had the count of all the things it had destroyed especially the one camel.  It was pretty funny.  He wanted to stop the gift shop and said, "I know your going to say no Dad."  Which I responded, "that's good saves me from saying it."

We headed back over to McDonalds playplace.  It's a updated one.  So I got to sit in plush seats while Eric climbed through all the tubes.  One thing I forget about NY is the high Hispanic population.  This day found many Latinas in the place and I forgot most of them find me attractive.  LOL.  I felt like I was on display while I walking around. 

Afterwards we went over to the park to play some football.  I was surprised Eric was very good at throwing it.  Then we went over to Toys R Us to waste time before the drop off.  I got to see what he likes now and I figured out why he can't turn his skateboard. When I got mine a long, long time ago you had to loosen the bolts to let it tilt.  So I showed Eric how to do it so hopefully he will have better luck now.  I was sad that he didn't bring his skateboard that we couldn't practice on it.

Drop off went well with still no problems from my FIL.  It was sad and painful, but he knows I will see him in February for his birthday.
