After the Party

"It's like nobody wanna live they life they just wanna reenact the same scene every night..."

Gotta admit sometimes that line is me. Sometimes? Ok the majority of the time. The few times its not me are the days I have Danny and Sofia. Got to pick them up yesterday from school. A couple of hours later, got the text from their mom making sure I had picked them up and not forgotten about them. I understand, she's getting used to having to pick them up on the daily. That is one of the many things that have made me lucky about this year- she has been very understanding about my situation and that has been much appreciated. If this job comes to fruition up there, the whole reason for the second job will be to be able to give that check and hand it to her- however minuscule it might be and regardless of the fact she has a live in boyfriend to help with other expenses. In speaking with my cousin on Saturday in between his gasping for breaths, we were talking about how with a company like triple A and its offices everywhere I should just look at this move to LA as just like a 2 year business trip. Go do my thing there, work another job, get my degree, continue and get rid of this diabetes, then come back and work at the office down here...

Danny is having his best friend stay the night tonight. I plan on taking them to balboa park and old town after I get back from the gym. I have never had another person's kid in my care and have to admit am a little concerned. Now I am awesome with my kids- I know them. I already found out this kid is allergic to peanuts. Great. I have been looking at all the stuff I usually feed the kids to make sure it has no peanut or peanut derivatives in them. I have decided fuck it- they get to have pizza tonight- if thats ok with his parents. I also need to ask for a bedtime, what he can or can't drink, what he can or can't watch, what video games he can't play, does he need a night light, etc... haha maybe I'll just have his parents stay the night too, Damn. If pizza is not ok, I am screwed, haha...

My birthday is 132 days away. I'm going for 1 every 3 days which is gonna take some drastic changes but I think I am up for it. As for Christmas? well if Your name isn't Daniel Lawrence De La Cruz or Sofia Isabel De La Cruz, I'm gonna owe you an IOU... Looks Like I won't need to make a Turkey for Thanksgiving this year, which probably is gonna save the fam from another Bird Flu or Salmonella incident... I Do make some A-1 bad ass mash potatoes though. Basically if Iron Chef ever had a show dedicated to the potato I would win it. I'm the potato version of Bubba from Forest Gump, I can make or will attempt to make anything with the potato- maybe it's the Irish in me...

After the Party by Little Brother. I am practicing my paragraphing which is really the only reason for this post here today. For those of you that work for cool non socialists companies, enjoy your day off. For those that don't well go have a beer after and enjoy it for a veteran. Hell maybe buy one for one.
