Happy Holidays from the Siregar family!!!
- Mood:
anxious
I can't believe that on Wednesday my baby will be 2!!!
Friday night I got a new tattoo. I love it!
Saturday and Sunday were full of being with good friends.
I'm trying to remind myself to not dwell on the things I have no control over, but it's hard. I think way too much. If only I could learn to relax!

I know there is no information here, but it's just easier to not write about it.

When did he get so big?

We both took the day off from work. We palnned to go to the beach club with Christopher, but the weather didn't clear up in time. Around 3:30 we headed to Keyspan Park for Three Pints Shy first stadium show. After loading all the sound equiptment in, we were able to set it up and hang around for a while. My parents, my in-laws, my brother in law (who ran sound and set everything up), and a few friends were there. My best friend knows how bad I am at picking out clothes game me a gift card to H & M, and said she'll take me shopping!!! (She's also moving soon and has to get rid of some clothes, so I get first pick!) TPS sounded amazing and kicked stadium ass!!!! They even sang me happy birthday!!! Then we put all the equiptment back in the car and watched the Cyclones kick Vermont's ass 8 - 1. It was a great game!!!
Tomorrow we are going down to a small park/beach on the jersey shore for more birthday celebrating. It's also my father in law's birthday tomorrow. I'm looking forward to swimming, sitting on the beach, bbqing, and running around with Christopher. I love my family!!!
Thank you to all of you who sent me birthday wishes. I had a great day.
- Mood: happy
Things are good. But it's the little things that get to me.
I feel very alone.
I'm letting the little things stress me out.
I know that I should be very happy and looking forward to my birthday next week. At this point, I want to say fuck it, and crawl under the covers and cancel celebrating my birthday. When you're a kid you look forward to the presents and the party. Now all I want if to see my friends. I don't care where. Presents are not necessary. But 99% of my friends are too busy. And they don't even have good excuses.
- Mood:
blank
I'm stressing about a bunch of other things, but I'm not going to bore anyone. I'm sure you are bored already.
On the plus side, Christopher is doing great. he's learning how to eat with a fork, and he had a great time at the Brooklyn Cyclones game yesterday.

Summer school sucks!!! That's no surprise. It sucks every summer. I sit around from 7am - 2pm doing nothing. It's absurd that the DOE makes us work all summer for the same pay, when every other position has the choice to work, and if they choose to they get more money.
I've been feeling very lonely the past few days. I don't really get to go out and just do something fun. I miss hanging out with my friends, who seem to have dwindled since I had Christopher. Going to school in August will not help this. I miss doing shows, and working out. After Jon's heart attack we gave up our gym membership. Other than the basics I don't know how to lose weight and tone up by myself. I haven't been in a show since March of 2006. I feel like a huge part of my life is gone and will never return. What makes it even harder is watching Jon get to perform with Three Pints Shy. Don't get me wrong - I am SO PROUD of him, and happy to be at every gig I can, wearing my tshirt with pride, selling cds, and taking care of all the little things the guys need. But I want to be up there. Watching Legally Blonde: The Search For Elle Woods every week doesn't help. I want to be the one up there singing and dancing. But with school, and work for the next 4 years I have a long time before I can do a show again.
I feel like my friends don't want to hang out with me anymore. I know I'm boring now, but I miss getting phone calls from people, going shopping (or window shopping), going out for drinks or to brunch. I feel like the only time I see people is when we get together as a large group, and it's a "family"event.
I'm going back to school to be able to make more money, to be able to someday buy a house and give my family better things and opportunities. If only I didn't have to give up so much to get there.
- Mood:
lonely
I'm very nervous about school. It's going to be a hard 4 years, but will be very worth it once I finish. It's overwhelming. I haven't been in school in 8 years. Hopefully I haven't forgotten all my note-taking skills.
On the plus side the THREE PINTS SHY gig in Washington Square Park this past Saturday was GREAT!!!!!!! They rocked!!! You can check them out on you tube. I'm very much looking forward to their gig on July 24th at Keyspan Park, playing at a Brooklyn Cyclones game!!! It is also my 30th birthday, so I'm really hoping a lot of people will be there. With faire rehearsals going on, it's the only party I'll have.

I still have not heard from grad school. What the fuck are they waiting for? Even if I get in - that's a ton of $ in loans to be able to go.
Work has been crazy. At the end of spring break one of our students was killed. She was hit by a car, while high. It has made school really uncomfortable for the past 2 weeks. The school show is next week, and the kids are so no ready. We are doing a festival of 1 act plays. I am directing 2 of those scenes. I'm ready to cancel the show all together.
I'm just feeling really sad, and I know it's just a rut, and sooner or later it will end. I give this advice to my kids every day. I wish I could believe it when I have to say it to myself.
The rest of the week I have a few small plans, but am looking forward to spending the week with my baby.
And for those of you wondering - I still have not heard from Brooklyn College.

Yesterday, on a whim, I decided to look at the website of a theatre company I worked with for 3 years, and found the site was gone. After some internet serching, I found out that this past Satirday night they decided to close their doors, and had a huge last show/party. I was not notified about this, nor was I asked to perform. I was sad to hear that they had closed. I later tried looking for clips on youtube, and found one of a friend singing Home from The Wiz. I watched it and cried. Later on I called the woman who sang Home, and she said she was very sad that Jon and I were not at the show. I would have tried to go, had I known about it.
Later on that night, I sent a text message to someone I have not spoken with in a few years (we did shows together at the now closed company). He replied "please call". I was shocked. We had a falling out a few years ago, and over the years I have sent emails and called him, to no avail. So I called him, and had no idea what to say. He was a very good friend, who I miss very much. We talked for a few minutes, caught up on what the other had been up to (he knew about Christopher. I'm not sure how). He then said he had to go, and I asked him if we would talk again. He said he'd call, and we said goodbye and hung up. I wanted to tell him how much I missed him, and I had to stop myself from crying. He was an amazing friend, but had a tendency to disappear for months at a time. I have no idea if he'll call again, if he really wants to give our friendship another try. I want it more than anything.
I guess it's just "one brick at a time".

It's been a busy few weeks. Christopher got another cold, and then Jon and both caught it as well. Christopher is still stuffy ans snotty.
I went on my school's senior trip the 1st weekend in Feb. I had a great time, and rode some amazing horses. The trip uo to the ranch was another story all together.
We signed the baby up for Gymboree. I'm looking forward to it.
I saw Sunday in the Park with George with Emma and had more fun catching up w/ her than I did at the show. We missed seeing Young Frankenstein due to the plague running though the house.
I still have not heard from Brooklyn College. I hate waiting.
On Saturday Jon and I are going for a couples massage for Valentine's Day. I can't wait.
Last night Jon went to the Spice Girls concert.
My heat is sporatic at best, and it's really cold in here.
I think those are the major events of the past few weeks.

This weekend I am getting together with an old friend and her son. We have known each other since we were 3 years old. I haven't seen her in a few years, and am very excited to meet her son, who was born last June. Saturday night I am hoping to make it to Rick's gig. Sunday will be cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping.
This week and the beginning of next week there are no kids in the building. Since I have nothing to do I have been watching My so-called Life. Jon got me the set for Xmas. I have forgotten how much I loved that show. I have 2 episodes to go before I am finished. Guess that means I have to look for something to keep me from needing a lobotomy on Monday and Tuesday.
- Mood: tired
I am swollen and in horrific pain. I also have TMJ so my jaw is extra sensitive, and has been locked on and off since Saturday. Thank goodness to vicodin!
- Mood:
sore
On the postitive side my audit went very well, and I am no longer going to have to share my office. Plus I get to go on the senior trip the 1st weekend in February.
I'm now trying to figure out what I want to eat, since after midnight I can't have anything my mouth, since they are knocking me out.

Things I'm looking forward to:
Jon being healthy
Watching Christopher do more things
Getting into grad school
GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, a word etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ - OR not...I'm not one holding you to that.
I haven't posted in a while. Mostly because the is nothing going on. Christopher is over a year old now. He had a great 1st birthday. Jon and I are busy with holiday paties, and family trips to NJ.
I decided a while ago that I am tired of being treated like the red-headed-stepchild of the NYCDOE, and am doing something about it. I am applying to grad school to get my Masters as a guidance counselor. It's a 2 year program, but I'll be doing it part time, so it'll take me 4 years. Hopefully I'll be accepted.
That's all for now.
I will close by saying I am very thankful for my family and friends without whom I would truly be lost.

Today was Christopher's 1st day with the new sitter. He did really well, but didn't want to eat solids for her. Oh well. He'll eat a good dinner. It will take him a while to get adjusted. She seems really good. She took him to the park, and he went on the swings and in the sprinklers. She said she'll take him to the library for story time, and when he's older to museums, and to her beach club. Let's see if this works out.
Going to faire this weekend. Excited!
- Mood: tired
I also interviewed a babysitter for Christopher, who was recommended by one of my neighbors. She seems very nice, and came with a glowing reference. Looks like as of Thursday Christopher has a new babysitter. I'm nervous, but I have a good feeling about this one. His last was and still is a disatser, always has a sob story for you. I'm still trying to get my keys back from her, and she had the balls to ask me if we could still be friends, and if she could see Christopher. I told her absolutley NOT.
Jon, Christopher and I will be visiting the Ren Faire again this coming Saturday and Sunday. We got a hotel room for the night, and the hotel has a pool - which will make Christopher very happy.
- Mood: accomplished
SO my babysitter who said she would work until we found a new sitter, just said she's not coming back, and I'm due to go back to work on Monday!!!!!! The term "fucked" doesn't even begin to explain it.
