no – not happenin’ here

Write an entry every day in November! Seeing it’s the Sixth and this is the first I’ve heard of it. Ha!

Let’s see what new in the Jeneve household? I now have an extra teenager living with us. I kinda figured that would happen. Although I need to consult a lawyer and see what rights (if at all) I have. This is probably his only stable household he’s ever lived in. He’s already remarked about real family dinners. He’s definitely making Jeffrey look bad as I get a clean kitchen and family room every day after school WITHOUT being asked. I didn’t know that was possible.

David has Chickenpox. Big time. I wasn’t sure when Jeff went through it. Only a few spots here and there. There is definitely no mistaking it with David. Unfortunately, he will miss out on his Soccer party this week. Poor Marko will be having to stay home with him.

I am flying to LA tomorrow for a Diversity Summit. I have been selected as a Game Changer for 2007. Great honor…more work.

My brother drove off a 6 foot embankment into a church van this past weekend. Arrested for DUI. His arraignment (sp?) is today (so quick?). This is down in Chehalis (about 3 hours away). Managed to not kill himself or the dogs or anyone else so I’m grateful for small blessings. I’m actually grateful for the DUI as well. Most of us would use this as a wake up call I’d hope? He’s running out of people to help him, including me. This greatly saddens me as he has seen me through some very rough patches in my life.

Soccer season just about complete. And always at the end of one of the sports season I say Thank God. I’m actually looking forward to the holiday season. David was a FABulous Dracula. I did get pics, they’re still in the camera though as I find little to no time at all anymore to do those things I enjoy.

I SWEAR this is the last trip this year. I mean it, they ask me one more time and they can kiss my ass!

Love you guys!

LA Los Angeles or LA Louisiana? Thanks for your note. Great to see you here. Our soccer season ended last weekend. 8-1, not bad, I say. So who is this extra teenager you have and why in the world would you volunteer to have an extra one?

I have same question as Sheet Music 🙂 I am thinking Los Angeles?

Yikes about your brother!! Glad he’s okay. Here’s hoping that he answers the wake up call.

You are a brave woman. I’m thinking one teenager is enough at any given time … 🙂 But good for you for giving him something stable and solid. Poor, poor David! I bet he’s miserable. How are things with Jeff? Any better than the last time we chatted? Have a good trip. And stick to your guns. No.more.trips! Take care!

How’d you get the extra teenager. I’ve done a little research in to taking on someone elses’ kids (back when I was worried about my god children) and unfortunately, unless you have legal custody, you probably have almost NO rights.

RYN: I’m not sure why you think that. I have been a lousy noter lately. Is that why you think that? Is there something I’ve said or done?

…and I haven’t heard back from you. Hm. Your note concerns me because it comes from out of the blue. I haven’t felt ANYTHING negative about you and can’t figure out why you’d think I’d prefer that you didn’t read me or why you’d feel hurt. What in the world did I do to make you feel that way and why won’t you answer my question?
