This weekend turned out rather different that usual for me. Kindof a
360 in a sense.
Kevin and Doug hit the road and are shooting a “movie”… if you think
I can hog a camera, I can’t wait to see what Hell will do unchecked.
So, I’m all alone, and completely uninvolved in a production.
Well, not completely alone. I’ve been in company since the moment
Kevin left. It’s been interesting to spend that much time in the
company of estrogen. Doug and Kevin are the two men I spend the most
time with outside my sons. I haven’t seen Justin in just over 24
hours, and Lucas… well…
Lucas has been terribly bitchy over the last 24 hours, despite the
fact that he’s been wandering about town chauffered, surrounded by a
harem of women, catering to his every whimper.
Nothing seemed to go the young man’s way. At the flea market, in his
first attempt at a negotiated commercial transaction (he’s 6), some
old curmudgeon sheistered him out of his last twonie for a piece of
spongebob toy that wasn’t worth a nickel. It was interesting to watch
a 6 year old express for the first time how frustrated he felt at
being fucked. He didnt’ know what to call it, all he could muster was
that he had no money left, and just this spongebob toy to show for it.
And might was he pissed about it.
The rest of the day had a similar flavour, and we all were pretty much
ready to kill him by the end of the evening when we arrived at the Ice
cream store. Having waited for a few hours for the long promised ice
cream, he selected the bubble gum flavour, and we went off to the
video store.
A few minutes into selecting a movie, Lucas came up to me quietly, got
my attention, and handed me up his ice cream, saying calmly “Mommy, I
don’t want this, I thought it would be good, but it isn’t”. I took the
dripping cone from his hand, just as quietly, and said “Ok honey, I’ll
take it”.
So I started licking this dripping mass in my hand, cause it’s not
like there was a garbage can handy, and I hate waste, so I decide I’ll
finish it for him.
One lick in and I knew it was gross, but I kept on eating it, cause as
I mentioned, I hate waste.
I finally had to give in half way through, cause I just couldn’t
stomach it anymore.

I wrote this on Sunday, and was going somewhere with it, but
unfortunately, facebook sucks monkey dong, so that’s all you get… no
idea what I was on about.
