I thought this might be a good way to get some thoughts out. A way to communicate indirectly, I guess. It sorts of seems lame but if it gets us talking or otherwise sharing information then I guess it works.
My head is so filled with thoughts. I can't keep things straight so I've been writing everything down. Little notes everywhere, a list or some cryptic message that at the time means something but then I forget what. Nothing major, usually "pay lunch money for the kids, or "check credit report for 2011.
Just sad. More later, I think. Hope your drive is going well. No snow and all that. Depending on your shopping, you shoudl be to your apartment soon.

So So Busy
Disclaimer: This is not intended to instill guilt or any other negative emotions.
Make lunch for J and W - mustard, turkey, ham, yellow cheese - not white. Slice pickles - not long-wise but like nickels. For fuck sake! Juice box, chips, apple sauce (not jello because its orange). W: 'why is orange a color AND a flavor? How the hell do I know?
Everly to Kelly's - all good there. E's a champ. But I can't wait for Rocking Horse. She is however a little shit now that I've picked her up and she's home. She claims she took a nap - I don't think so.
J and W to Y camp - W's ankles are crazy with mosquito bites. I felt like dad of the year for forgetting bug spray yesterday. Today they were thoroughly doused and were happier for it. Both looked tired again - do doubt they were on the go. They certainly don't rant about the fun their having. I know their enjoying it but it's like pulling teeth to get them to talk about it.
Brenden had his mold for his ortho appliance fitted this morning. He drove and I'm pretty sure he was partly (or mostly) retarded. He drove home - still retarded. He drove to pick up J and W - much better. He stayed home and had no responsibilities today. I encouraged him to do something fun - he stayed in the basement and watched TV. He is now mowing the lawn - thank goodness.
I had 4.5 hours of calls and went to the chiropractor. My neck is 85%. The adjustments definitely help. She uses these queer little clicky tools. I'm pretty sure its just spoons and Lego's but I can't find them after i get off the gurney of pain. I want so bad to call her a quack and make fun of her profession but I just can't refute that I feel better when I leave her office. She said 1 to 2 more times and then I'm done - unless i want to come back.
2 more sleeps. love you

And Another Week Beings
My entry didn't upload - poop! Must type again.
First day of Y camp. J and W were a little nervous. They were both psyched but a little apprehensive - not sure what to expect. It was cool listening to them talk on the ride to the Y. They agreed that if one of them was going to do something really fun, that person would tell the other person. They also agreed to have lunch together.
I picked them up at 4:30 and they are TIRED. Both had fun but I could tell that they are wiped out. Archery, swimming, exploring nature (a walk in the FOREST! - really? says Jackson) , and lots of other cool stuff. The rope climbed was not cool according to Wilson - too many mosquito's.
E was going to have a fun day with Brenden. They went to the park and watched TV together. She was napping in B's room when I got home.
Brenden wants to ask Katie to a movie on Thursday. His plan, while not all thought out, is to meet her at the mall. I would drop him off and then pick him up. He didn't have his plan fully thought out so I asked him to rethink it and get back to me tonight. Are you okay with that?
Time to make dinner.

Oh Thursday, How I've Missed You
Woke up at 5 to Everly saying "i slept in my bed i slept in my bed'. 'Yea', I say. Now shut up and go back to sleep.
Quiet house this morning - only E and I until we left at 7:45. Wilson got up and proclaimed 'I forgot to wear a pullup'. Ugh - those are some clean comforters, except for the pee part.
My neck is actually worse - how can that be? I would go the doctor if i thought I could get in today. I want to cry it hurts so bad. I took aspirin, darvocet and Advil at varying times of the day yesterday. So far only 2 Advil's today.
J's soccer tryouts went well. 14 kids and they choose 11 - I've little doubt J will be one of them. He is FAST compared to the other kids. Maybe the fastest kid in the group, or his grade, or the school, or Haslett or the WORLD!
Brenden is good - he had an opportunity to try out for a summer Lacrosse league and told me he didn't want to do it. He also told me he changed his mind on the lacrosse camp. The surprised me. He said he wanted to save his money. I told him we would pay half but he still didn't want to.
Were still on for D and Dave's on Sunday but i have no details. I need to call her.
gotta work - see you soon.
ouch my neck hurts.

Wednesday
E off to Kelly's - she was grumpy but sort of looking forward to it. Emma was going to be there today so that's good (not sure who Emma is). I was out of my routine with the kids so everything tool longer than usual. It didn't help that I woke up with a headache and have a pulled neck muscle. Advil here I come.
I had an ortho consultant with Dr. Peters. He laid out the next 3-12 months. I took good notes and we can talk about it in person.
Jackson is at a play date with Saad - a kid from his class. I dropped him off at lunch and will pick him up after work. He also has soccer tryouts tonight. Yeah! nO! Yeah?
Wilson is Wilson and wants to have a play date with anyone, light fireworks, dig holes in the yard, watch a movie, swing on the tire swing, eat cheese balls, get pizza from Sam's, play tennis at the MAC, etc.
Brenden has been great with the kids (i think). They were clean, fed, and not bleeding when I got home. He CONSTANTLY text's his friend Katie. I've left him alone and not given him a hard time. Seems a bit silly but he's 15. She's called several times and they actually talk. Amazing
got to go. love you

Busy Day buts its all good
Wil peed the bed again. It was the third time this week. I was doing laundry of sheets and a comforter before 7.
Brenden wore black socks and his flip flops. I said nothing. Maybe that's the style - jeez I hope so. It would however look good with Under Armor and a sweater vest.
I made 2 lunches this morning; one for J and his Cross Roads Village field trip and the other was because Wil didn't want to left out.
Wil had fitness day today. He had a great time or so he says. http://www.haslett.k12.mi.us/education/components/docmgr/default.php?sectiondetailid=7733&fileitem=11181&catfilter=1953
Everly and I went to Rocking Horse this morning. It was the last Friday before the year ended and I wanted her to see it with all the kids and all the teachers. Miss Ally was there - she asked about you but then all the teachers did. Allison and Miss Kelly were there but wont be next year. They all asked about Wil, too. It was fun and Everly seemed to have a great time. She's totally psyched to go and cant wait to ditch Kelly's.
I got a haircut and brought your sister an Olga sandwich and salad. Lindsey was wearing a crazy outfit that i was sure she had lost a bet over. No one would actually choose to wear that horrific ensemble. I said something to your sister and she said "I'm so happy someone else noticed that train wreck". We laughed.
Dropped off the rental car. All was good and they billed Citizens. We'll see if they pay it or if they pass it along to us.
Picked up the van. It looks great and they cleaned it well. Other than a few minor blemishes, it looks as good ass it has in a long time. $3750 insurance, $240 for the electrical wiring thingy.
Brenden's off to Nick's. We just had a big thunderstorm.. I bought flowers and veggie plants. Hope to get them in the ground tomorrow.
Love you - now off to the tire swing because the fucking rain stopped.
