We keep forgetting to tell you about the other night (no one repeat this) when the oldest was melting down. He was upset over something and out of nowhere, he told Mom it was all her fault that he, and I quote, “can’t eat sweets, can’t have a bunny, can’t have a cat, can’t have a hamster, can’t eat cake” and on and on. His logic was that anything he’s allergic to was given to him by his Mom when he was in the womb! Of course we didn’t have the proper reaction as we both laughed which pissed him off more. It was just funny that he went this far back to blame Mom for his current meltdown.
Ok, yesterday we, or should I say the misses, did a little yard work while the youngest, you guessed it, wrapped up his morning playdate before heading to his friends house to continue the playathon. When he arrived home he went straight over to his other friends house across the street who, you guessed it, ended up spending the night with us! The oldest helped Mom and I clean up the house in the morning and then sometime during the day, went down to the little park (as opposed to the big park) to play. Later in the day the youngest came home soaking wet as he jumped in the creek to save his friend who fell in. Turns out his friend Matthew really didn’t need help but pretended to by calling for help. After Ty jumped in up to his neck, Matthew said to the misses (who just happened to have walked down) and I quote, “you have to admit, it was pretty funny” referring to our guy jumping in. Needless to say, Mom didn’t think  it was very funny at all and scolded Matthew and will be calling his parents today. He said to the misses, “you’re not going to call the cops are you?” I’m not sure what she said but at 9 years old, that would be a concern, ha ha.
I’m still limping around a little but my knee seems to be doing fine. My incisions look good with no oozing or anything. It does swell up after too much activity but I’m making good progress daily.
Today the oldest and I will head to his baseball game to support his team even though he can’t play. The doctor is firm about making him stay out a week but we’ll lobby hard for the Wednesday game as that’s a week from the day of the incident. There’s only 6 1/2 days of school left, hard to believe. Today Mom has to register both boys for swim team.
Pa Don is still in the hospital as far as we know. Dix has to find him some out patient care to help him recover when they let him out. We hope he’ll be ok.
Time to run, Ty and Ben are up but Jag is still sleeping. We’re watching the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies which brings back memories and reminds you just how old you really are! I know you know this but enjoy every moment, every day, as when it’s gone, it’s gone!
Take care and God Bless,
