lazy hazy happy day

It's a great day. Sun shining, gentle breeze cooling the air---I'm happy to be alert, alive, content in the moment. I had a date last night which somewhat made up for Wednesday's fiasco--was an expensive date for that guy dollarwise and mildly aggravating for me. Even so, I came out on the better side of it I think.

Today, I am gardening and visiting with my neighbors. Suddenly now that the grass is mowed, the yard is relatively clean, I am beginning to enjoy my backyard for the first time EVER. I decided that those annuals that have been waiting to be planted will go in the backyard. The dogs have dug so many holes out there, I might as well use them for something good---especially along the fence. After I get finished, I will take a picture for u.

The kindly older gentleman neighbor offered to come help me do some more trimming in my yard and was telling me that my roof is in DESPERATE need of being replaced. I've known that and avoided thinking about it for years. I will have to figure out how to do that and get money together. It's too steep for us to do ourselves and my brothers are busy guys anyway.

Its 1:30 pm and the kids are JUST now waking up. I feel like I have put in a full day already too!

More to come....

It was a rough weekend. I was feeling pretty blue to begin with--grieving the loss of my little family which has shattered to pieces, leaving just me and my son under one roof. Dunno what precipitated that pity party, but it was going on since Thursday. Friday, Son's father didn't call, text, or come to pick him up. Son was not inclined to make the effort either. I guess he figures that if his father wants him, he'd initiate. Saturday morning was particularly rough because Son had Saturday School---kind of like detention on Saturday, for being tardy to class after PE. Moving fast is not his strong suit ever. Plus, he doesn't wake up and get going easily either. Basically, Saturday was filled with Son's fussing, homework, tears, slamming of doors,and lot's of I-hate-you's. Yeah, pretty miserable all the way around. I think maybe it was a reaction to how he feels about what's happening with his dad. OR not happening. It culminated in Son sobbing in hi

Keystone Cops R US

Okay, we just did a Keystone Cops routine . I went in, puppies ran out. English bulldog from next door chased puppies around the yard. I chased English bulldog who was chasing the puppies around the yard, into my house where I chased them all aroun d again until they all ran back outside. Got puppies back in and English bulldog out. Opened the door to call my son in, and they were off!!!!! Did it all again, but this time, the neighbor lady and her daughter chased the bulldog who was chasing the puppies and I chased her and her daughter who were chasing the puppies, back into my house again. Whew, I'm tired!

X's birthday, X in law birthdays... what should I do

Oh, I almost forgot. I have a question for you all. My X's mother's birthday just passed. His father's birthday is in a week or so and his birthday a bit after. I thought about having the kids call their Oma (grandma) to wish happy birthday but opted not to. I think he should be responsible for that. What do I do about this and/or his upcoming birthday? Do I have the kids do something? He didn't bother for me last year when we were separated..... Ideas anyone?
