Busy Weekend

 So this weekend we took a trip….. to New Jersey.
Things I wanted to do this weekend. The Easter Bunny was going to be at the Candy Store here and its Maple Weekend  along with St Joseph’s table at the church  but Dennis talked me into going to NJ with him.  Not that it was that hard, I’ve been wanting to find any excuse to leave the area and go away for awhile now.  Its getting bad when you’ve done so much in this area you are looking to expand were you are willing to drive to.  His father is going to be moving to Florida as his sister lives there, he had some things there so he needed  to get them. Good excuse to go and visit down there.  So we went all of us on a quick 2 day trip to NJ.  Andrew was very excited to see NJ. I have no idea what he thought it would look like but I don’t think he thought it would look like here.  Really its the first time I was there that I didn’t go to the Jersey Shore myself as when I was young that was a place my parents took us all the time.  We would stay at Wildwood and go up to Atlantic City and explore down to Cape May…. I think he was hoping we would go to the beach and see horseshoe crabs as they are all over the beach there….  Were he is from is not that different from here.  His father lives in a nice apartment on the 2nd floor with stairs that go straight down.  Not baby friendly at all.  And although Jonathan is really good about stairs at our house… there he was being a pain in that but.  There was a railing like our steps and it would fool him and he wanted to "walk" down them like he does our front steps and they are REALLY STEEP!!  I thought one time he was going to tumble down for sure( last second save).  We ate out and got a hotel. He treated us to both (his father has money so I wasn’t shocked). 

We got to the hotel and both kids of course didn’t want to sleep.  I held Jonathan and snuggled him and he shock his head no and climbed off the bed….I by that time had a huge headache. TOO much car, noise and kids.  Both were pretty good on the way down. Jonathan threw up on himself on the way down.  Dennis got Jonathan’s pink eye so he looked a mess. It was beautiful down there. The weather was perfect. It was so fast though.  The trip in the car was long again too much car noise and kids cooped up!

Today he met with the people over at Mental health as I fought with them tooth and nail and unfortunately had to tell him the plan that I got him a psychiatrist and not wait around for the screw offs there to do it as once this meeting was done he would still have to wait to see the doctor to prescribe him meds.  Mostly I wanted to see how long from this meeting how long he would have to wait to see their doctor knowing I had one scheduled  the next day but I couldn’t keep my mouth shut after all its his appointment and he has to know he’s got to be somewhere. So he went in and was nice and again wouldn’t sign anything  and told them that he had a psychiatrist appointment tomorrow (damn him!! I wanted to know!!)  Anyway they called me up after and told me was this correct?? and that he was paranoid but pleasant.  I lit into him.  He’s out of meds and still wouldn’t be seeing the doctor, I’ve warned you for 2+ weeks about that. Also should it take over a month to do an intake!?!? I wrote you , I called NYS quality assurance. He really had nothing to say…he apologized some what else. I told him I had it with them that I was able to call a psychiatrist and get an appointment in under a week.  Stupid A-holes!!!   I feel slighty better about it but not as they are still going to be A-holes with no repercussion and  not do there job correctly.  I think Dennis is just happy he’s not going to counseling and is seeing a doctor that can prescribe things. He so hates talking to people some times.  He will if he’s in the mood but if he’ s not….its just not good.

So next weekend they are still doing the maple farms and there’s a easter egg hunt at the Y so we didn’t miss much this weekend.
