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.
