Memorial Day weekend Jessica, Steve, Presley, Holly, Nick, Boston and I went to Adventureland. Mostly to check out the new water park they have. Boston was pretty much scared of every ride until it actually started going. Presley being on them with him helped a little bit though.
It also helped it Mommy when on them too....but not a lot of them allowed 'big kids' on..
This was a fishing for frogs game that no matter what you won something....Boston was looking at it while I put sunscreen on him to I decided to let 'him play'...
It was a 'tad' more difficult than I thought...(get it 'tad'pole...we're fishing for frogs...ok, nevermind)
Love this boy! Glad we finally got a good pic together
After riding a few rides we made our way to the water park part...
They both loved it!
Jon hasn't seen his son since May 6th. He's supposed to have him every Sunday. The 13th was Mother's Day so I had him but the following Sunday I received a text at 5:15 AM stating he had to work because he needs the money. F YOU!
Now, I got mad because I had plans to go see Clint in Chariton before he left back to Chicago. That didn't happen, obviously. I was a little ticked that Sunday. After that text which was...the 20th of May, I didn't hear a word from Jon until last Thursday, JUNE 7TH! The following Sunday I still got Boston ready for Jon to pick him up, didn't happen. Luckily, my parents are amazing and were nice enough to watch Boston so I could have some me time, on a boat with some friends.
I've now gotten to the point where I don't expect him to show up so I don't make plans that don't involve Boston or I just don't really make plans at all and we end up doing whatever. Fine by me! I LOVE spending time with my son, he's incredible and I don't want to miss a single thing if ever possible!
Just wish I could make him stay this happy forever!
Now, don't get me wrong. A little adult time is much needed now and then. As hard as it really was to leave him behind I knew I had to get away. So, I planned a trip to Chicago to see my 'husband'. That was this weekend. I took the Megabus out there after work on Friday, got in about 11:30PM. Not too bad $62 round trip. That's one tank of gas! Yes, please! I wish I would've gotten some pictures with him but I know that with his lawsuits going on right now he can't really have much put on Facebook and what not.
We has a good time. He had to work Saturday afternoon/evening but I knew that ahead of time and I didn't care. Before I left my mom had told me that my Aunt Ellen and cousin Matt were going to be in Chicago also and Ellen had told my mom to give me her number so we could meet up. It worked out perfectly, Clint had to go leave for work about 1:30 so I hung out at his house, Ellen said Matt was getting in about 3 so I told her to let me know when they went wherever there were going. We hit up Blues Fest and Bubba Gump's on Navy Pier. It was very nice to see them again and it gave me something to do while Clint worked.
I was very proud of myself, I hailed, directed, and paid for two cabs all by myself. I was a little nervous about that part because I had no idea where I was going but I managed.
Clint and I got Dunkin Donuts this morning before I got on the bus, said our goodbyes and I was on my way home by 11:35 (it was supposed to leave at 11:15, not good) I'll miss him. I've always had a crush on him since we met at NIACC but didn't think he had ever looked twice in my direction (guess I was wrong).
I missed my baby boy like crazy though. I don't know how parents do it. Jessica and Steve leave for a week without Presley and seem alright. Maybe I just have to get used to it. Maybe it's a single mother thing, I mean I know parents miss their kids but I feel absolutely GUILTY if I'm not with him when I should be and I think it is partially because he doesn't have his father there either. I don't know.
I gotta go to bed...
