Today definitely had two sides to it. First the fun side; the BFF and I saw Magic Mike. Nudity aside, it was a dark story but very good. I like dark movies so this combined things I love; abs, pecs, and biceps plus a tortured soul. Afterwards, like a true girl who's not getting any loving, we went to the DQ. It was delicious and we brought home the twins mini blizzards. First I didn't know they made a mini blizzard, it's the perfect size. 2nd, just look at these faces! These are some kids who know a good treat when they get one. Sara was so excited to see me and ice cream she couldn't decide to hug me or climb into her chair. I think I win as best auntie!
After treats we went upstairs to the playroom and had a blast. I only read Dinosaurumpus 3 times to Danyal. There were a couple tantrums, a whole lotta cuddles and dance party. These babies mean the world to me and I'm sad to think in 10 yrs they won't want to hang out with me near as much. Until then I'm gonna smoosh their cheeks and love them up as much as I can. Danyal still loves to sit in my lap and rest his head on his favorite pillows. He melts my heart and always tells me he loves me.
Now to the bummer part of the day. H has been in Lincoln for almost 3 weeks and this morning I woke up to a text from him telling me how sad, depressed and lonely he is. I tried to make him feel better, offer a better disposition, and make him smile, but I knew it wasn't working. Tonight when I got home we talked for an hour and I found out he's not working in the dept I thought he was. He's in with the lifers, the ones who don't like change, hate outsiders and someone with new thoughts and points of views. A majority of the folks are married and very settled into their ways. They aren't looking to make short term friends with someone and certainly not help at work. My heart is breaking for him. I feel so bad as he's trying so hard to make this work and keep positive. Even an hour later I'm still thinking about him and how I can help. I've text him a lot of what I've typed here and I hope that opens his mind a little bit more. The best thing about this job is that everything is temporary.
The second bummer came from Clint. He also texted me this morning letting me know his girlfriend was driving up for the weekend and asked me to dinner. Now if you've not seen your GF in 3 weeks why oh why would you want your work wife present? I have met his GF before and she's nice enough, but not the one for him, not by a long shot. She doesn't trust him and I don't think she trusts me either. I know she freaked out when he spent Sunday night at my house. Thankfully I spent too much time with the twins to really plan out an evening out. He's not texted me either, so I'm hoping his poor idea finally sunk in.
After all of this I'm actually pretty wiped out. I'm trying to keep my evening as low key as possible so I can try to get to bed at a decent hour and not sleep away my whole Saturday. It's not like I have plans, but I do want to get some fun in!
