Believe it or not....
I've actually written a lot of blog posts over the past few months...problem is they have all been in my brain and not in my electrons.
Its been a wild wild world...
so a quick (or not so quick) run down on the life
1) Lost a good friend due to a difference of opinion. Not a little one like I say tomato you say tomahto kinda difference, something large and huge. It hurts, hurts me and the GS both. But there's a lotta pissed in there too, mainly due to a lack of being able to admit that possibly they did something wrong. And not just be sorry cause they got caught.
2) Gryffindork and BugBug went to Florida to spend time with The Poppa. The Poppa is my 85 year young grandfather and the rock of my young life. A trip of this magnitude pretty much means doing an entire year's worth of laundry to get ready. Okay not really that much but close. Maybe six months of laundry. It also meant making sure there were easy and quick things for the GS to make to keep from starving while I was gone. Not to mention that GryDork had to spend time with the biological father, which she very, very, very, very did not want to do. As I explained to her this was the last time I would "make" her, she's 12 now and if she doesn't want to go, they I no longer have to force her into going. Mostly I didn't want any of the older folks down there to have to drive her to the other older folks houses for the rest of the trip...
(Okay that probably needs some explanation. Nana and Gramps are the couple who used to watch Grydork when she was little, they are pretty much another set of grandparents, but they are getting up there in years, so driving isn't fun. They live about an hour or more from The Poppa, so since I wouldn't be there to drive...well it was a means to an end.)
3) The GS and I spent 3 weeks ALONE...okay anyone with kids will know this is like mana from heaven. It wasn't like a full vacation, but it was still fun. I did a lot of home renovations while he was working...
a) Painted BugBs room in 2 tone pink...this involved removing just about everything from the room to paint it.
b) Painting the foyer, library, and the green mile hallway. The hallway is the longest thing I have ever seen outside of a hotel. Its literally 35 feet long. Yeah its big. And not its green instead of light poop brown...and then hanging chair rail in said hallway.
c) Retiling the foyer into something other than nasty linoleum "wood". Its not a brick thing, hurt myself doing that..and that was like last week I did that one.
4) Picking the kids up from florida...see we drive, its like 10ish hours to get there and back, but the GS came this time so nicer trip...packing the car was fun, but nicer trip :)
And now my fingers are all tired, and the brain doesnt remember all the other stuff, but hopefully will be back sooner than the last time...
