Another week, lack of sleep

I am a tired lady right now. Who knew that sleeping in a lot or even just a little when you have the weekend off makes the rest of the week an insomniac mess? besides last night, i got AT MOST 4 hours of sleep a night. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow night after I get done babysitting. I don't have to work at the store until at least Sunday (I'll find out later today after my 12-3 that might have me stay til 5 shift). So I will get to sleep slightly earlier, plus be able to sleep slightly longer at least Saturday night. Probably not Friday night because J and Ph are coming over to clear out a room that will be Liam's coming this August when both his parents deploy.

I ended up going to K's 4th of July bonfire sunday, which was long. I mean, it had it's moments, like Andrew, the cute friend of K's that she plays magic the gathering with (yes, she's a dork. No, i don't play, so I'm not as big of a dork, lol) Anyways, there was some flirting going on between the two of us.. that was thwarted by his/their friend Goose. This guy's take on friendship is that you're friends with him if he insults/makes fun of you. He's extremely abrasive, and will not let himself be wrong. For example, K, Amanda (mutual friend) and I had come in from petting her neighbor's rottweiler-mastiff mix puppy (7 weeks old, SOOO ADORABLE). Goose made the flippant comment "well, that's a stable dog." I made the comment back that it depends more on the handling of the dog, not the breed itself. He pretty much told me I was wrong, and then sited that German Shepard dogs were psychotic. I went off on him, again siting the handlnig was important, and started to site exampes since I knew of several dogs from that breed, plus a pittbull that were not "psychotic" and went agains breed stereotypes. However, L (K's boyfriend) cut me off. K was defending me and also going off on Goose for a statement he made to her stepdad earlier in the night. L's way of defusing the situation was to "suggest" that I didn't need to be in the room, that I could leave the room. This is also the same guy that after he ran into my ex at a Gamestop, invited him to K's grad party even though my ex had claimed he hated K. Yes, their friends, but still, kinda rude. The reason he didn't suggest Goose leave was because they were about to start a game that's similar to Risk/magic.

I was ready to deck Goose. Andrew slightly took everybody's minds off the argument with a "size of his anatomy" joke. I went outside by the waning fire to calm down. I had intended to spend the night even though I wasn't drinking, but decided to call it a night and leave, because I knew if I stayed til the game was over (it was a little after 3 when I left and they were just getting ready to start!) I would end up decking Goose.

Babysitting this week has been okay. The oldest kid is starting to have more attitude than the 5 year old, but is quickly defused.

I know I should touch on the Kevin subject. I kinda put a feeler out there, suggesting that he come hang out at K's bonfire (she had already invited him). He declined, because he was having his own party. No inviting me to his, or whatever. I'm going to back off the attempting to see where things go for a while, mainly because I'm only in town for another month and I'm not doing anything long-distance again. Maybe when I'm in town for long periods of time I might see where things are, but right now dating's on the back burner.

Well, I have to go get ready for my shift at Gymboree. I'll try and write more often, promise :)
