Friday Night & the Bronx

After a long boring day at work today, I reeeeally want to go out tonight. I don’t know that that’s going to happen now. Olivia’s uncle, who usually watches her when Stephen and I need or want to go out isn’t here because he’s working. Stephen had to go back to work for a bit, so I’m here alone with my sleeping baby girl. Can’t go out to the city without a sitter. My guess is that I’m going to have to just call it a night. I have class early tomorrow morning anyway. At least now though I won’t be spending my entire Saturday, almost, at school, I’m done at 1 now as opposed to 6 before. I’m so bored right now. I should be getting dressed and getting ready to hit some spots out in the city and getting my dance and drink on. Comes with the territory though. I’m a mom now so I can’t go out and do as I please anymore. I don’t mind too much though. I’d trade my life in for my baby girl and her dad. I think that we are a cute little family. Stephen and I have our ups and downs like any couple does but in the end we always end up back tight again. My guess right now is that he’s stuck on the Tappan Zee bridge in that construction traffic. His job is out in Nyack, Rockland county so he has to cross that 2 mile long bridge almost everyday and pay that $5 toll almost everyday. Fun right? They’ve started doing repairs again out there so they completely stop traffic while they’re closing off the lanes they’re going to be working on. I don’t understand why they can’t do their construction work over night like they do in North Carolina. When construction was being done on a major highway or street down there, all the construction began very late at night when there were a lot less cars on the road so there was never any construction traffic. Noooo not in NY.

Just like the damn garbage trucks in the Bronx!! OH MY GOSH THOSE ASSHOLES ARE SO ANNOYING!! I have to go to Barnes and 225th Streets to drop Olivia off at her daycare and almost every morning there’s garbage trucks all over the place. All these streets are 1 way streets except for white plains road which 225th connects to. I’ll come back in the evening to pick Olivia up to bring her home and there’s still garbage trucks all over the place, every single day!! Oh it doesn’t stop at the garbage trucks, if I’m not stuck behind one of those I’m damn near running over predestrians because I guess they think when they walk out in front of my car, I can just stop on dime to keep from running them over. Then they look at me like I did something wrong! AAaarghhh!!! I come close to running over some crackhead almost every time I come to the Bronx. People block the streets with their cars because they parallel park beside another car, they pull out in front of you, cut you off… soooo rude! Make me miss NC even more. I’ve gotten used to it and I can drive like a maniac like the rest of the maniacs on the road but damn I miss my slow life down south, can’t wait to someday move back. I’m off…
