It’s Friday?!

Where are the days going? Here it’s already Fri. and I haven’t written since Mon.! Oy. I thought Grandma’s were quiet, stay at home, same routine, etc. …women! Ha. I scoff at that. 😉

This one’s sure busy at any rate. Yesterday I got to babysit Logan, Brie was rather calm about it even as I’m sure she thinks I don’t know what to do with a baby. *L* He was such a good boy. *s* Brie had to run up and get groceries, so after school Chels and I went over to watch the munchkin. He’s so funny – he must be able to see farther now and he just looks around at everything and everyone in wonder. His little lips purse up like “Wow, I have *such* a neat house! Look at *that*!” *L* He’s growing daily it seems. His eyes were blue, but now they seem to have some green/brown in them. Mine are hazel, I wonder if that’s what he’ll have? Brie’s and Carl’s are blue….I think Carls are blue, not sure now that I think of it.

He’s on our shitlist right now. Sigh. He used. Relapsed. Whatever. Brie kicked him out. Can you believe it? What a week for Brie. She was more mad then hurt-Yay, but still…I guess I wasn’t that surprised, what with the new baby and all, and he had not been going to AA. But I was disappointed, we all were. Deeply. Mostly I feel for Brie. I mean here she is, new baby, and now her all alone. But she’s doing wonderfully. She was scared at first, of course, we asked if she’d like to come home for a few days, but she didn’t and her and Logan are doing just fine. She says that before she missed Carl so bad, but now she has Logan and she’s just mad at Carl. Hallejua!! This baby is her saving grace as she was mine.

So. Never a dull moment around here huh? 😉 I don’t know what will happen now. I really don’t. As of yet, Brie does not want him back, she’s still angry and just sick over Carls behavior. To tell you the truth I am surprised. Pleased, proud, but surprised. She really depended on Carl with Logan, and was scared to be on her own with him. But there was simply no hesitation on her part and isn’t yet. So that’s big news and cause to celebrate in my heart, that and Logan are the main focus in our lives. Whatever Carl does, he does. His loss.

Hubs and I are fine again. He felt wretched and I let him stew in that a few days (heehee), he *was* awful after all, but all’s well now. He’ll just never change in that he gets so immersed in his work. He takes it seriously and he has a tremendous amt. of responsibility. As I get immersed in our children, and even if that seems more worthwhile or whatever, I still end up putting him/his needs after them. As always it takes work to keep a marriage going strong…but it’s worth it. *s*

I was also mad at him because he was not taking care of himself. Fast food and desk time with this new job, he’s put on around 30 lbs., I worry because it seems everywhere you hear about these young guys having a heart attack. Just a month ago one of Chelsea’s friends father died of one. Our age, great health, his heart just gave out and he died. It’s so sad and it’s so terrifying. So he’s promised to straighten up there-no more fast food and he’s now on a herbal thing with tons of vitamins. When he decides to lose weight, it just melts off. Why is it so much easier for men??? Anyway I’m relieved about that.

Chels has had a busy week, going here and there, last night after I’d tucked her in she came in my office and thanked me for all my running her here and there. Said she was worried, she didn’t want me to feel like she was taking advantage and she wanted me to know she really appreciated it and loved me so much. Isn’t she just a punkin? I mean she’s 13 and thinks like that? She’s wonderful. Honestly, that’s my JOB! Bless her heart.

Tonight she is staying at a friends, after school they are walking over to Brie’s to see Logan. Her friends were calling here all the time, so excited about Brie and when she was having the baby. *L* Cute.

Tomorrow hubs’ band is playing, so I’m going with, meeting Bonn and I’m looking forward to a great night. Tonight, we’ll prob. just kick back, maybe rent a movie or maybe just go to bed really early. *w* We don’t have the house to ourselves all that much you know. That’s fun in itself.

Today will be busy too, Brie’s throat has been sore and she’s had headaches, so she’s going to the doctor. I hope it’s not strep. That is going around tho’. Of course we’re worried, what will the doc do? I mean if she has it, will Logan just be treated for it also? He’s seemed fine, maybe a little fussier…hard to tell at that age. I just don’t remember. Being that she’s breastfeeding, and he is only 2 1/2 wks., he’s immune? Oh well, she’ll find out this afternoon I guess. I think I’ll babysit my little man again while she goes. *big smile*

I love to lay on the floor with him and simply look at him look at me and everything. He kicks his feet, rolls over and back, waves his precious little hands around and talks-all the time. Or I’ll walk around with him or just sit/stand holding him. Whatever. It’s all just great. As with my own, time flies when I’m with him.

Oh! I dropped off pics day before yesterday and they should be in today, yay! THIS TIME they had better be online also, if they screw up again, you will hear me screaming from all corners of the globe. I’ll post them on here later.

We’ve had a lot of rain here, but the last few days have been absolutely gorgeous fall days. The trees here are beginning to turn, soon the woods will be ablaze with bright yellow, reds and oranges. Up home, mom says they are already changed and it’s beeyootiful. 😉 I love this time of year. I have yet to get my house ready for it. No pumpkins, no haybales, no corn stalks, nothing! *gasp* Ha. Maybe next week. I have to do something, right now I have dead flowers in planters-very attractive. *snort*

My coffee cup and my head are empty. Ok, well the cup is for sure. *w* I’d best finish up my work here as I’ll be hitting the road as soon as Brie’s ready for the doctor. Have a great day!!
