You know one thing that happened yesterday - I laughed until I cried. One of those but-gusters where you can't stand up, and your stomach hurts, and you have to pee?
I don't know how well it'll translate funny-wise on here, but I'll try:
S6 is just a funny kid. We were staying at my parents, and I was making S6 and D8 brush their teeth, but parents only have 1 bath, and it was occupied by Papaw. Well, Papaw was doing #2, if I may be crass, and he forgot to turn on the fan.
I'm just hearing this from the kitchen where I'm dicing potatoes: So he came out, and S6 went running in there ahead of his sister and girl cousins. He hollered, "Boys go first!" and ran in. I hear silence for about 3 seconds (I think his brain was registering what was wrong), then a loud "Uuuugggghhhh", and he came running out, and said, "OK, boys DON'T go first" and ran off.
I was crying, and holding myself up on the counter I was laughing so hard. I'm sitting here laughing just typing it up again - I hope it translates well, it was that funny.
I have a wonderful family, beautiful and loving kids, and a great life - W is not going to ruin the wonderful things that I have. If she chooses to leave for good, she leaves behind wonderful memories, a beautiful family, and a great life.
I'm not really angry any more, I honestly pity her. She is trying so hard to fill her life with crap - keeps herself non-stop busy so she doesn't have to think. It's very sad. She has missed kids' first camping trip, their first roller-skating, many holidays, etc - sad.
Ok, now I made myself sad after laughing. Hah, but I'm going to put a smile on my face, and put away laundry!
As far as house fixing up, I'm trying to finagle time to just fill holes in wall, and touch up paint! Luckily I have a good, handy friend that is going to help me out - we've worked out an arrangement where he does time-consuming stuff, and I do "homework" - sort of like Trading spaces...
