an update...have caleigh now for a few days..kim is still being abitch about the beach trip...I had to give up a few more days of my regular visitation in order to get her to finally agree after she had originally agreed but seems to have forgotten our original agreement..
I know...batchittcrazy..you don't have to remind me
I've come to the conclusion that after the beach trip that there will be no more swaps..we can just go by the parenting plan..I'll get a sitter when I need to do something..
we are slowly but surely wading through dads things..my older sister continues to struggle at times..my younger seems to be coming out of it..my bro and i attack it by staying busy...my mom copes by changing the house around..while looking through dads things we came across all his military things..he was an infantryman in WWII at the Battle of the Bulge..then one of the first occupiers in Japan after the bombs were dropped..he was discharged then volunteered for the Korean war and served as an MP in Trieste, Italy..a member of the TRUST forces..anyway..we found a yearbook..I jokingly said, "wonder what I'd find if i googled the "281st Military Police Company, Trieste Italy"...that google search led me to a contact page..for the guy who is the SEC/Treasurer of the TRUST association...I emailed the guy..he served with my dad..he has pictures he also gave me the name of my dad's partner in Trieste, Italy..I googled his name..got a phone number for him in El Cajon, California..I called him..he answered,....he has pictures I have talked to him 2 days in a row...the 281 MP reunion is in Myrtle Beach SC this year..in Sept..I'm invited ... the power of the internet!!
I beleive I just made my dad proud....
Michele's mom continues to do well and she has been declared cancer free...for that i am happy and thankful..
Michele and I are good...and trying to relax...in one week or so..we will have our toes in the water and our asses in the sand..along with all the girls...
Think I can handle all that estrogen???
