another entry for the bored

Yeah - so I'm really pumped about the Flickerstick concert tonight. It makes me nervous, though, because it's standing room only - which means first come first serve. Which means you have to haul ass when the doors open to get a good place up front. Ugh. I hate that.

Oh well - I'm going to have some fun, and that's exactly what I plan on doing. Jeremy called me today, saying that he didn't want me worried about her staying with him this weekend, because of what happened the weekend before last. He said he's changed a lot of his "ways" not only for the sake of Zoey, but for himself. Even my best friend (who's husband is Jeremy's best friend) told me that he's supposedly stopped drinking all together. Which is a good thing, if he really does it. He has psychotic tendancies when he drinks. And cutting that out of his life all-together, I think, would be in his best interest.

Me on the other hand - I can handle my alcohol. I rarely drink anyhow, but when I do - I take it slowly. I don't pound drinks down. (I hate being drunk) I socially drink - and only drink enough to get a conversation going & work up a good buzz. I don't go all crazy & psycho - yes, I may cry or get emotional (alcohol has a tendancy to do that to ya), but only if I'm alone.

When I drank in high school, that was a different story. Hell I was so stupid in high school, I'm suprized I wasn't in & out of jail. But, those stories are for another entry. . . .another day.

Yeah. My weekends going to be pretty mundane. Well, except for tonight. After tonight, I really need to get my arse in gear - cleaning up the apt. GOOD, and finishing laundry. Stuff that's tedious whenever Zoey's around! :-) I can't count the number of times I've strategically placed her books on her book shelf, only to have to go over & pull them ALL down. Yeah. It's grrrrrreat. So they usually stay on the floor now.

I'm *really* hoping she isn't getting sick. She hasn't been in, geez, forever. She's only had like 2 ear infections - and that's it. (unless I'm going dumb and can't remember the other sick-days) She's been an awesome child - and I got lucky with her health seeing as how she wasn't breastfed. Oh, and I have to take her in for her 15month checkup next month - and I'm dreading it. I read a post by a mother on one of the PP boards about how she took her happy, healthy 15 month old in for his regular check up and shots - and how after the shots, he was never the same little boy. He now has developmental delays, physical delays & such. That scares me. My Mom said it has something to do with the mercury levels in the inoculations - but that they don't put mercury in immunizations anymore. Hell, I don't care - it still scares me into NOT wanting to take her in at all. I mean, can I refuse her shots????? Guess I better do some reading, no?

Yeah, well, I have work to do before I head out - :-)
