Our Birthdays

Harmony had her Birthday party at the hotel Saturday. I couldn't tell you who all the kids and parents were because they all moved too fast for Angie to tell me who they all were!  That didn't matter though. The kids had a blast swimming and eating junk food and juice and running up and down the stairs to the two water slides!  Every time a kid yelled "Watch me!!"....every head in the pool area turned! They had a huge audience and took full advantage of it too! There were other kids there with their parents and they got in on the party too. That was one rocking pool, let me tell ya! It's a good thing they make you keep the food and drinks in the rooms though or those kids would have destroyed that pool room! LOL
For a whole room full of 2 to 6 yr olds running the place they all shared and watched out for each other pretty good. No big owies or fights or anything :)

Harmony will be here tomorrow for my Birthday! Or as she calls it...the big 5 - 0 day! Obviously she's been hearing her mother talk! lol She's been telling me all weekend what a big surprise she has for me and that she is making me the best present any grandma will ever get in the whole world! I can't wait to see it. Heck. I'll be amazed that she remembers to make it! LOL
I hate it when she's at her dad's house. She tries to make things for her mom or me and he won't help her or let her get out the glue and glitter and all the girly stuff she needs to make a mess, oops I mean pretty things for us. The man has no patience for her when it comes to girl things....just wait until she gets her period. Shit is gonna hit the fan and if he doesn't try to understand her at 6 yrs old, he sure as hell won't understand her at 12!! And I'm gonna laugh right in his face when he asks my daughter where he went wrong! LOL He's one of those guys that already KNOWS everything and God forbid you try to help him raise his daughter....
Harmony won't be here for the weekend though and that bums me out :( We got to have her the last 2, maybe 3 weekends in a row and I got spoiled having her anytime I wanted her. I will miss her swinging her little legs to the left of me on my desk and telling me her outlandish little stories that make no sense.

But tomorrow is my Birthday and I get to have whatever I want and I want my Harmony from after school until bedtime and that's what I will get for my present. I don't care if I get anything else. Her hugs and kisses and stories will have to last me awhile because she has to go back to her dad's the next day and it bums me out. Monday is a long ways away to see her again.
Divorce sucks for kids. I wish her Dad wasn't such an asshole and I wish I didn't have to pretend to be nice to him when Harmony's around.... She will figure out in her own due time what a prick he really is though. No one will have to tell her that. She will figure it out all on her own. But if  she ever asks me for the truth of why her parents got divorced I will not lie to her or cover it up and make it sound good either. I'll tell her right out what a hateful, mean, monster her dad really is and that he should have spent more time in jail for what he did. Providing she at an age that she can understand it.

But anyhow, I got sidetracked- that happens when you turn 50 I guess! LOL
