Its a tough juggling act thats for certain. But it does get a bit easier when they get older, although the fact that they want to spend less and less time with you and more with their friends and boyfriends/girlfriends does suck.

You do need some time for yourself, dear. And maybe some time to spend with Connor too.
Yeah, i believe thats whats known in the business as "job security". I've practiced it myself a few times.
I think you need to tell them to back off a little bit on you being their number one 'go-to' girl. It seems you're the only person they'll ask nowadays because you keep saying yes. Which is a good thing of course but come on you need a little break from the schedule madness too.
Do you ever tell those people no about the working extra shifts and switching around the schedules and stuff?
Well, i can only take my vacations from may until september.....And Nick told me it gets hella hot there in the summertime.
Sounds wonderful. Whats a good time of year for you?
I would just be there to spend time with you, dear. Even if we wind up strolling around a market or shopping district or whatever.
You do realize, of course, that when i finally get over there to meet you that more than likely thats exactly what we'll be doing, right?
Really? Nice. I'll be here when you get back, doll.
Okay. Try to have a good evening, doll. Remember, if you need anything don't ever hesitate to ask. I'm always here for you. Cheers!
He's all calm now, well for his Dad, they're on the phone now. I bet you were a right arsy shit when you were young, I was too, and I'm like well history won't repeat itself. I love you for today, you're great but I knew that already. I'm going to cook dinner now, that's if he hasn't bought half the shop with some kinda money. I'm here after shopping tomorrow. K xoxo
No, no, please, don't be sorry, hon. I'm glad to be able to listen and help out if i can. Maybe you can find an activity for him that absorbs his anger. Try to find something that will get him to defuse before it builds up to a boiling point. Trust me, when i was younger i had a HUGE chip on my shoulder and a very nasty temper.
So Connor was 3 then?
If you dont mind me asking how old was he when his father and you split up?
Unhappy or just angry? He seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder mostly(to me anyways). Perhaps a short fuse too.
Especially since in the house you'd assume that if he really 'found it' he would have(or rather should have) mentioned it to you or your mum. And, i would think if he was truly innocent he wouldn't have gotten so ticked off either. A good bit too defensive, don't you think?
Uh-oh. I hope hes not doing anything bad. Although it's hard to not look into that situation in a certain way.
Are you angry and pissed off? Anything i can do to help? Too bad your storms are rare, now with the summer wind and heat patterns setting in we're getting hit just about every evening for a hour or two with some good storms.
When my mood gets foul i usually turn to my old hardcore records and/or some vicious death metal. Think groups like "hatebreed" or "sick of it all" or "meshuggah". Then i have to stop listening to it or else i'll want to go out and start commiting violent acts towards random people. Hence the sudden change to lounge music.
They don't bother me too much here. I love them myself. Unless, of course, it's a hurricane. Then thats a whole differnt story. We get a shitload of lightning here too(the most in the U.S.). Thats always a plus....well for cool visual effects it is, yes. Being outside in it can be rough though. We also get a lot of spider lightning too here. And as for martinis, i always make the mixed drink called a martini. You know, gin with a splash of sweet vermouth. -
