Long weekend


So as I don't have a 'normal' job I obviously don't have a normal weekend. In the four years I've worked at the casino my days off have changed many times and right now they are Tues/Wed, which I like and works for me. So Monday, was the first official night that Chris picked up Ireland for his first weekend. So they got to Missouri around 10:30 and I got off work at 11:30 with nothing to do, no immediate responsibility, didn't have to go right to bed cause no one would be waking me up in the morning. It was bizarre and depressing, so I called my friend and we went to the bar for a few hours then back to his place and hung out, it was nice. Tuesday I had to pre-bowl, which I did with Shannon then left town around four to go down to Missouri. Now this will not be a regular occurance, me going down there when they are there, but I had planned it already and it seemed to work out, plus it was a good transition for me only having to be away from her for one night instead of two. So I got there around 8 and cuddled with Ireland, I was so glad to see her. Wed they left in the morning and that night was Ireland's birthday dinner and Grandma and Grandma Bailey's. Aunt Mary came over, Britney and Ryan, Ireland's great grandparents (Jeff's parents who are the same age as my parents) and Ireland's sisters Samantha and Maddy. It was a nice dinner and of course miss thing got spoiled again. She loved all her presents. Later Sam and Maddy's mom Emily came to pick them up and I finally got to meet her which was nice, she was very nice. Ireland slept like crap that night, up and down all night. The next day we went to Quincy to eat lunch with Brit and Ryan and then headed home. The whole time Ireland would only leave my side for the women in the family. She wanted nothing to do with Chris, Ryan, or Jeff and I don't know where this has come from. She loves my dad, even with all his facial hair and she loves most of my guy friends, but she would just scream and cling to me or Terry or Britney or Heather if any of them tried to take her. Hopefully she gets over this soon. I don't want her traumitized every time her dad picks her up, it breaks my heart and I know it hurts him too. Ryan and Jeff were sad too cause usually she loves them. Also we are having lots of problems with food and eating food. I can't tell if she is just getting to picky or if she just isn't hungry, it's usually the most I can do to get her to eat a few bites of anything before she starts refusing or throwing it on the floor. She's not sick or anything but it's really starting to worry me. Hopefully it's just a phase. An hour into the car ride home she gagged herself until she puked again, no matter how much I tried to stop her. So I had to pull over and clean that up, obviously this is mommy's new punishment whenever Ireland does not get her way. So yeah, it was a good weekend, but a long one and I am tired. I think I'll go take a nap before work. Ireland is in Applington with my dad, visiting my Grandma and Aunt's and Uncles. Back to the grind tonight.

It will take some adjusting to the dad thing...remember she isn't used to it. Just keep talking to her about it. She may not understand but eventually she will.

I feel your pity on the puking.
