Ok, I got up this morning and I slept the whole way into work. I don't even recall if I fell asleep before the bus pulled out of the Park & Ride so that confirms....I was really tired. I didn't go to bed until after 11pm last night because I was up braiding Nina's hair while she was asleep so I wouldn't have to worry about it tonight. Plus I was trying to think of what to take on this trip to Rehobeth this weekend. Speaking of trip...her dad has really rubbed me the wrong way and now I don't want him to go away with us. It amazes me how a convo can go from calm to chaotic. One thing I've changed is arguing with him. I realized that arguing never gets us anywhere so I've changed the way I handle him-but it doesn't seem to work all the time.

It started with him coming down last night and Nina not responding to him. She was very sleepy and all she wanted was a bottle and her mommy. I wasn't sure whether it upset him or not but from the conversation this morning, I think it bothered him. It boggles me that he doesn't hear me at times or if he does, he doesn't trust that what I have to say is genuine. Needless to say...our early morning convo did not go well and I end up telling him that he might need to consider staying in the area if he's going to have an attitude. My goal for this weekend is to get away, enjoy a nice change of scenery, play with Nina in the sand and at the pool and get some much needed chill time. I don't know how that's going to work out with him being there if there's animosity. So...we'll see how this plays out. I have my sister, one of my besties and even my mom on standby to go with us. If it wasn't for the drive being 3 hours, I wouldn't be concerned about anyone else but...3 hours is too long for Nina & I to be on the road by ourselves.

I plan to go home tonight and finish packing and get my house cleaned. My aunt is planning to come and stay at my house because she's been going through a lot and just needs a change of scenery as well. I was more than happy to offer my house so I want to go and home and make sure its all clean for her. It seems like everyone is going through one thing or another. I guess that's the way life is...everyday can't be a good one but its our job to make the best of it.

TGIF...I'm so happy that the weekend is here and that I have a long one. Looking forward to my weekend away. I'm going to bring my laptop because once Nina is asleep, I plan to sit on my balcony and watch the sunset. I may even get a chance to work on some writing. Whatever I plan to do, I just can't wait to get to the beach...I really need this getaway.
