day in a life

I collect mugs and cups for tea and coffee so right now I am drinking a lovely cup of coffee in my new mug and listening to my favorite radio show. I think my blogs on my days off always start the same, funny.

I have been a bit distant for a while now, just check in every now and then but haven't commented a lot, I am trying to get into a study mood. Ever since I applied for university and people tell me I will definetly get in I haven't been focusing enough on my current school projects because if I get in I won't need them, but they are interesting and if I don't get in I definetly need them. Right now I am doing a project about the Ustase, very interesting and I could probably write 10 pages on it if I could get myself going.

I got really mad at my ex yesterday, I had figured out how I wanted my summer vacation to be then last week he told me when he wanted to have the boy and I decided to talk to my boss (who happens to be a close relative of mine) and made a few changes to my vacation. My ex has changed so much and all of a sudden he wants to be a bigger part of the boys life, he even came to a parent/teacher meeting he has never done that before, so I wanted them to have their two weeks together and when I talked to my boss I even offered to work two weekends in a row to make up for the changes I was asking of her. the extra weekend is the most popular traveling weekend at the end of the summer a huge thing here on the ice but I hate it so I was ok with working and she really needed someone to work because everybody wants to be off for these three days. Anyway yesterday he called me, my ex, and he had finally talked to his boss and he couldn't get the days off he had told me he would be taking so he will be off in the beginning of the summer holiday so I had to call my boss again and I told my ex that we are lucky that my boss is a close relative because now I had to make changes for the third time. I tried to make them as little as possible and asked my ex to have the boy for the 'travelling weekend' too so I could keep that promise at least. The worst thing about these changes and how the summer will be is that I'll be off from work a few days before my son goes on his vacation and that is ok but I will be off for the whole two weeks when he is with his dad! I do not know what to do with myself. Last summer the boy spent one week with his dad when I was off from work and I think I blogged a lot but the only thing I did was watch tv! I need to find a whole lot of stuff to do these days so I won't go crazy!

now that was a rant about nothing and everything!

I am in general very happy about my relationship with my ex, I really just wish he would tell me something about his new girlfriend. I am very happy for him but I do wish he would tell me instead of the boy when he comes home after spending a weekend with them. For example the boy told me that she has a kid, is it unfair that I want to know something about this person that will be spending a lot of time with my son?

I mentioned above that I had a parent/teacher meeting, I love talking about my son so 40 minuets with his teacher didn't seem enough, even though it was supposed to be 20 minuets but we all had so much to say.She told me that he is the only boy in the group that draws pictures like a kid at least a year older than he is, she is an artist herself so she was very happy about this and enjoyed watching him draw. he had so many details in his pictures and thinks about what he is doing. one picture she showed us and told us that he was telling the other boys about it, a big story about the time his mom vacuumed him! she said he was like a hero in the other boys eyes when he was telling them about it and how he got out. a good imagination!

today is a costume day here on the ice, we don't have Halloween but this day Ash Wednesday is a costume day. My big boy went to school as Darth Vader! very cool.when he is in the costume he breathes like Vader and everything, very funny.

well I am gonna go do something smart like study...
