Back at the ranch….

jesus hearts me.

Woke with the little guy at 7am, we had gone to my cousin Rob’s 40th birthday party his mom/my aunt threw. What I expected to be a small turn out (10) became large (20), apparently this year’s events with aunt Vera passing seemed to have people give more thought to family and sharing our moments together. We all had a crazy good time, despite crowding ourselves into that house. I spoke with my cousin Rob a bit more about the fed park police job and from what he said it’s a pretty keen gig.

Before the evening was done it had been set up that we will get together as a whole family for Christmas Eve, everyone will bring food and it will be at my cousin Maria’s house. Her place is big enough for the wild mob which is our family to kick back and enjoy the event.

We left at 9:50pm, which was a complete lapse of time that I’m still trying to figure out, little Joe was a real treat for everyone but the evening took it’s toll on him and he was whimpering and cranky at the end of the night.

Once we got him home Nina set him up with a bottle and he was sleeping in 5 minutes. (10:10pm)

He didn’t wake until 7:00am

Fed him before 8am and my dad showed up at 8:15 to secure the wood mantle at the fireplace, it had never been from the day we moved in so it had to be done.

H2 decided 9am was a good time to nap and slept ’til 10:40am, I had a few things done and by 11:00am we were sitting comfortably on a rocking chair in church. Little Joe was perfect in there, aside from a few long shouts in an echoing church that drew a few stares. Everyone loves a cute baby, mine is no exception.

Right now we’re at my parents, he’s sleeping again and hopefully will take a nice long stretch for himself. Mom’s cooking roastbeef with carmelized onions and carrots (among other things) and the smell is slowly starting to diffuse throughout the house.

I spoke with Nina and she’s been feeling fatigued today, she’ll be driving straight home and taking a nap so I’ll be seeing her later on.

That’s it for today so far.

*sheepish stare*…For all the ranting about family I do, I actually like those goddamn crowded house moments where everyones there. ..Don’t tell nobody though.

i sort of have the support of the family. i have a twin sister who has always been there. my mother and i never got along so thats kind of a far cry but my dad just doesnt know what to do. ive always been the problem child that grew up to be the problem adult. ya know? but as for rehab im in PA for it, they are letting me write on this because they say its good therapy.

.ivy.

(hugs) just cause.
