Jan. 3, 2010

Today would have been dads 58th birthday.. sometimes its hard to believe.. Not that he's gone.. But that he's been gone nearly 9 years now. Happy birthday dad..

been working on getting things set back up at mothers house nearly all day yesterday and a short while today (kids were to restless to stay long).. Ron and I will head back down tomorrow.
I'm finding it easier to have shoved everything off the carpeted floors vs putting it all back in a *home*.. There is just so much stuff and I'm not gonna toss anything without mother here to say yes or no.. But seriously its taking everything to refrain from doing so..
There is still so much of my mor-mor in the house its not funny and where I realize its hard to let go.. its just impossible to keep everything.. From her key chains to nicknacks to her card collection.. I realize some things are a keep but others its time to let go..
And mother is no help.. Here we are busting our asses to get floors laid and make the house look good .. To get all the junk mobile homes removed and all I hear is *dont forget this.. Find that..* and when I tell her of pictures left in a leaking mobile home for the past 8 years that are ruined.. I get *well they shouldn't be* yeah mom its my dream to have to trash little rons photo from when he was 2 years old that I gave you.. You got me.
These things.. So *important* to her yet for 8 years left deserted in a trailer that was no longer fit to be lived in... Just left to rot.
I think my favorite arguement between her and I so far was over a keychain.. A wooden bat made by her ex-Boyfriend back in the late 80's early 90's.. One I happened to find.. Shoved in this old trailer she called home among trash.. And I left where it was.. Only to be told I better get it for her .. She wants to keep it..
Why? She has hundreds of key chains she hasn't seen or used in years.. This one alone in well over 8 years.. But its so important to her she left it to rot. Makes sence to me.. How about you?
ah the annoying side of things... Only 18 days left and she will be headed home.

In other news.. My bigger guys are heading back to school tommorrow .. Christmas break has been good for them and I've enjoyed having the home during the days with us.. But school is a must so off they will go at some ugly hour in the morning that none of us have seen since their last day of school before Christmas break.
I just hope bedtime goes smoothly for us and were all bright eyed in the morning.. Okay I will secretly settle for moving around the house like half awake zombies.

TTC wise I think its safe to say were in another 2ww .. At least we will be for sure tomorrow due to my CD. I haven't been doing any monitoring so I couldn't tell you how far into it I am.. But we've done what we could and now its no longer in our hands.. Just got to wait it out and see if were stuck with another restart or not.
