I might try to come to work for a few hours on Saturday. I'm supposed to have these maps done by Monday afternoon, and I just don't see how it's going to happen. Even though I've become familiar with the ARCView program, and I'm making maps left and right of various ponds across the state, I haven't come close to finishing all the counties I need. And it's not even all 55 counties, only the southern 20 or so. siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
So anyway, I'm probably going to keep Scarlett home this weekend. Brent isn't playing, so if she and I get the house cleaned up, I might have him over for dinner. He will balk at the idea of being there with Scarlett but I'll tell him to just suck it up and come on. I'm thinking fresh chicken breasts simmered in white wine, made into a nice creamy sauce with broccoli, and over pasta. He might surprise me and not give me grief, but just come on. I hope so. I think he'd enjoy being around her, and she really needs to be exposed to him more. That was actually just a whim, but is now starting to flesh out as a "plan" in my head. nod
Well, I'll have to decide between Brent and extra work. That won't be tough, but I really need to get the work done. Maybe I'll just buckle down this afternoon.
It's almost one, and I have a guy coming in to review a file in about 20 minutes. So I'll wrap this up and potty before he gets here.
!!!CIRCUS!!!

Date: 2007-04-21 03:38 am (UTC)- I really want to make this work.
- I really think I should end it, although I wish it could have worked.
- No, I care about him.
- But he doesn't love me.
- But-
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Now toss in Scarlett. Yeah, it's cool that she knows her mom's dating. No harm there. But girl, you yourself don't know what you're going to do with him or the relationship from day to day. If the relationship were progressing smoothly and you thought you might get engaged or something, she definitely should be given more exposure to him and vice versa. But that's not what's up. She'll just experience spending time with a guy who doesn't want to be around her, admittedly doesn't love her mother and quite possibly won't be around for much longer. That's a fucking tough age for any girl. This seems like unnecessary confusion in addition to the inevitable confusion of her age. Menu sounds awesome. Share it with Brent. See if you guys can't work something out and get on a more positive path. Don't thrust Scarlett into a rocky relationship. I know none of this is easy for you. There's no guidebook. But as you know, I'm a frequent devil's advocate. Much hope to you. You're smart enough to figure this out. And though it's frustrating, I think you have the strength to do it.
