Me: *on the phone with my mother* Yeah God has me in a holding pattern right now so I'm just chilling.
*two days later* Stuff Starts Happening
Which. Don't get me wrong. It's good stuff and stuff I've been praying for for awhile now but also... it is going to be Tiring and Inconvenient to deal with and the holding pattern the boys and I have been in has been remarkably comfortable, actually, and I am reluctant to face the exertion and weariness that the process of this Stuff is going to require and...
Anyway, don't mind me, just complaining about blessings again. XP
(I'm just. I already know good and well that I am going to be Tired for the next few months. Really really Tired. Even with trusting and praying it's still going to take mental and physical energy and also concern for my children and it's just. Gack.)
(Actually maybe I need to be praying that I will soon meet a dependable, trustworthy babysitter so that my children can get to know and trust them before the impending periods of hours of separation. And yeah yeah "Bri just hours?" but keep in mind my children have never been separated from me except once, my eldest stayed with my in-laws while I was in the hospital giving birth to my second son and that Did Not Go Well. Indeed my youngest never even experienced the usual separation anxiety phase that happens around a year old because he has never been without me.
Add to that that we don't actually know ANYONE in the area. Like at all. Except my mother, who is currently without transportation and who I don't... fully... trust to watch my kids for like... four hours. Or longer.
Anyway this has been weighing on me and I don't know why it hasn't occurred to me to pray about it before.)
On another note, when the CPS dude visited today he asked if we were going to be okay (re: my husband no longer providing any financial support at all) and I said yes, because we have no other choice but to be, and we just sort of looked at each other. But I didn't come off as worried because even though I know already that next month is going to be challenging, I also have full trust that God has not brought us this far just to drop us now. Just because I don't know yet what He has planned doesn't mean He doesn't have a plan and also I think I've maybe gotten a glimpse at it? Little bitty glimpse? Just takes a certain amount of effort on my part.
He with the sharpest teeth. The fluffiest dog. The cutest puppy. The scruffy one. The (dog bread). Your (personal) companion. Your best friend. His unconditional love. His puppy love.
I’m typically not a fan of the whole tik tok/YouTube couples thing but like,,,,,,,can you imagine doing that ‘drinking while I do my makeup’ challenge but asking Bakugou to join you???? I think it’d be so cute bc he’s a lot drunker than you expected for his size while you have a nice buzz going. you answer a few commonly asked questions in the meanwhile, cleaning up your brows while Bakugou just watches you with a little -_- look the entire time. his cheeks are all rosy and he’s sooo close to your face, slurs some kinda personal answer that makes you laugh and delete the footage bc the fans do not need to know that shit
and as drunk as he is, he eats your liner the fuck up. suddenly has the steadiest hand ever, his tongue poked out a little in the corner of his mouth, his palm resting on your cheek, the other basically holding your entire face to make sure you’re steady. also lines your lips with liner, paints your gloss/stick on with such heavy precision that all goes down the drain when he immediately leans forward to kiss it all off. a very clingy and affectionate drunk, and vows to throttle you when he’s sober enough to watch the video back later on bc of how you captured his lovesick gaze perfectly that everyone starts to talk about after.
Joko (interviewer): I'm scared when you're still holding the bottles, I don't trust you. First off, congratulations to you two
Michael: Yeah, thank you!
Seb: Thank you!
Joko: I don't trust you in any way!
Michael (innocently): why?
Joko: No, it's alright, what's more fun then, winning or spraying champagne? [gets interrupted by seb pouring champagne over his head]
Seb (inaudibly first, then again to the microphone): The spraying!
Joko: Spraying, okay!
Michael: now you have the answer!
Joko, to Seb: It feels like you like the car you had at the end there, that 'grasshopper' or what I'd call it [if I'm not mistaken he's talking about the roc buggy which definitely is sebs weapon of choice at roc].
Seb: Yeah, it's a lot of fun, I mean, I believe it doesn't look bad on TV either because there's stuff happening (mimicks the buggys suspension) and also it's great fun to drive, and I just said, when you exit the last corner you don't know exactly, was it enough or not and the people start screaming and cheering and you think 'it's fitting', you look, you look, you look, 'it did fit.' and then, it's of course great. Five, five times in a row - Joko interrupts, repeats 'five times in a row' - for this man it's the second time five times in a row (reaches for Michael).
Michael: Yeah, that's right.
Joko: You did, we saw it earlier, when you had to go into the shootouts again - bwoah this stuff burns in the eyes -, did you have a talk beforehand? Did you decide, are you going to drive again, are you, or what did you talk about?
Michael: No, it's clear who drives, how the slots are appointed, but we just motivated each other a bit and uh, because Sebastian was very strong on this car which I didn't drive much, he gave me a few valuable hints which paid off well.
Joko: Now I know, when one of you wins, it's always getting merry in the evenings [literal translation of german compound word 'feucht-fröhlich': moist/humid-joyful; adj; meaning an occasion where alcohol flows]; does that mean you two are going to compete tomorrow with alcohol left in your body or-
Michael: No no, alcohol is never in the picture with us.
Seb: Where did you get that from?
Joko: I was told, they told me before to talm to you about it, I just know it always gets funny!
Seb: Rumours...
Joko: Rumours, rumours. But tomorrow-
Seb: We'd have a reason now, theoretically, to toast to at least in any case
Michael: [something inaudible about toasting]
Joko: You have enough to drink left. But tomorrow against each other - does that mean separate beds tonight when you go home, yeah?
Seb: Yeah, hah, that anyways.
Michael: He doesn't like it much when you're with him in his room.
Seb: He tried before, but... I didn't like it that much. I didn't have a duvet anymore. He steals your duvet!
Joko: Thank you very much for the information, we'll see each other tomorrow,
Seb: You wanna know anything else or-?
Joko: No, I'm done now. Do you wanna knkw anything?
Seb: You want a sip?
Joko: No, I don't drink alcohol. Sad. Well, only at the moment, maybe I'll change my mind. Have a good evening, thank you very much and congratulations again to you. Until tomorrow.
It's me again, anon, who adores your love-hate towards Cross. Friend recently showed me a video in tiktok where there was a sound of 'oh I hate that man...but oh, cara mia...how i love him'. It immediately reminded me of you. Tsunderes keep winning. Let's go tsunderes ✊️
