Busy Day

Leave it to mother nature to completely put a damper on my plans today. We went the entire month of december with hardly the sighting of a snowflake and most of january was the same way. Now here it is february and its snowed a foot in 1 week. They actually let me come home from work and hang out at the Muskegon Recruiting Station until 5 when I go home because a winter storm warning was issued and I was afraid I was going to get stuck in Grand Rapids. My car, as I'm finding out, is great for fitting alot of stuff in and for roadtrips in general but it is absolutely horrendous in the snow.

Tonight is supposed to be Chucky's first overnight trip. He was going to spend the night at my sister's house. Now because of the weather and also because he got sick last night I don't know if that is going to happen. He kept complaining that his belly hurt yesterday and he kept farting all day long so I knew it had to be gas and that he was probably constipated. Well he woke up last night with the same complaints so Chris put him in our bed and he fell back asleep. He woke up at 1:30 am asking for some juice so I got him some and he fell back asleep. Half an hour later I wake up to the sound of the poor kid wretching all over my husband and his side of the bed). It was like a scene out of the exorcist. Well Chris got him cleaned up and I tore all the bedding off the bed but the room still stunk so bad we didn't want to sleep in there. Chris ended up sleeping on the couch and Chucky and I slept on the twin bed in the spare room. He seems to be doing alot better today besides being over the constipation, having moved on to explosive diarrhea. So now I'm trying to decide since he is feeling better except for the pooping thing, if I want to let him go to my sisters as planned or keep him here.

We were planning on going to our favorite chinese place in GR if he did go to my sister's. Okay, now that we're over that bit of grossness, moving on....

Has anyone ever looked up their exes (I mean not called to say hi how ya doin' but just googled them or put their name in myspace to see if they had an account and what they're up to now, you know, just to satisfy your curiousity? I have done this before because most of my past relationships have not ended on a positive note. There was only one that I can remember where we promised eachother we'd be friends and stay in touch even though that never happened. Well in my searches, here is what I found out:

The person I considered my first "real" boyfriend way back in the 8th grade is gay now.
Both people that I dated in sophomore year of high school (they went to a different school) are married and one has a baby.

One of the guys I dated in senior year of high school (also from a different high school) is now married with a kid. This is the one I was supposed to stay friends with and didn't.

I have no idea what the hell happened to the other guy I dated in senior year (the one with the kid, that almost drug me down into his pit of nothingness and ruined my life) and frankly I don't care what happened to him.

The guy I dated in Korea that I was engaged to and broke it off when I got back to the states is still in the Army and still searching for "the one". Developed a bit of a drinking problem, that one did.

The guy I dated after him that went a wee bit psycho on me and kind of became a stalker after we broke up for good is married with a kid.

And then after that there was Chris. Met him in may of 2002, married him 6 months later and he's still here 5 YEARS later. The guy deserves a medal or something. I looked up the hubby to see if he a myspace account and he did. Funny thing was he didn't fill out the profile at all so it is set to the default info. His profile says single, doesn't want kids and "no answer" under his sexual orientation. I pointed this out to him and teased him mercilessly about how he's trying to get rid of me and Chucky to find himself a myspace ho and since he has no answer for sexual orientation he must be a closet pooper poker (members of the gay community please do not get offended, I have no problem with people being gay at all, I just say that to him because it gets him all flustered).

For those of you who don't know my husband, he is a good guy but he doesn't like me or anyone else messing with his tough guy persona. Normally his physical appearance alone is enough to make most people think he could snap them like a twig (he's 6'2", 250 lbs). Still he likes to talk the good game about being able to beat the crap out of anyone, anytime, anywhere (# of people he's beat up in the last 5 yrs: 0) and associates himself with the usual manly activities (burping, farting, scratching, smelling up the house when he takes a dump, dominating the remote, gaming and computer nerdism etc...) just to cement his complete masculine status to anyone he may encounter. So insinuating he's gay.... yeah he's not exactly thrilled when I do it which makes his reaction and inevitable attempts to prove how manly he is all the more hilarious to me. He has his comments he says to get back at me though so don't feel too bad for him.

Well its almost an hour later, Chucky is still napping (I tricked him into taking some Motrin by putting it in his juice) and I still haven't decided if he's going to my sisters. Guess we'll see how he feels when he wakes up.
