well of course yesterday was the time change *joy* and we sprung forward like most everyone else.. and now here it is 11:30pm (the old 10:30pm) and wyatt is fighting tooth and nail to stay awake.. *argh*
i just got owen to bed a few minutes ago again later than normal and im sure little ron would be wide eyed if he didnt have so much trouble sleeping last night.
time changes, so much fun!!
mother stopped by tonight to drop off a small 2 man tent for the old guy to use. he will be out of town this week for quite a few days and although the folks were nice to provide a hotel room and the local *no tell motel* it seems that the men folks have decided they would rather camp out and sleep in their personal vehicles and/or tents rather than to stay there again. i know it was cheap and it was free, but it was trashy.. and obviously they didnt price search because in searching i could have found a better deal but than again i look at all avenues not just one.. from camping to hotels to extended stay places and about anything else i can think of.
the truth is, for the what the trash'y inn ran them, they could have put the guys up in a 2 room camping cabin at the local KOA with a queen sized bed in the main room and 2 bunk beds in the other.. more than enough room for the guys and much more convenient with the different times in and out of the room (mainly from ron to the other 2 guys).
anyways.. mother ended up staying for a few hours and visiting.. ron made her a steak when he cooked his dinner (the kids and i had already eaten) and mother ate that which made me feel better, i worry about her taking care of herself like she should. i know she hasnt been feeling well but that is no reason to starve yourself, at least she should be eating more than she told me she was. at least she seemed to be feeling better tonight. tomorrow her and i are going to take the kids for haircuts.. i think i will go ahead and get ours done too.. her and are both past due as much as the boys are. i would love to get owens done but his fear of strangers has me thinking that there is no way he will let them touch his head!
while mother was here we looked at a few options, she thinks she made aunt bee mad at her but im not sure if she did or not. aunt bee is going threw some personal issues right now and mother is having problems keeping her mouth shut with her opinions. i just keep telling mother that aunt bee must go threw this on her own, stick to the general topics (work, hobbies etc) and leave the situation alone.. be there if she needs you but dont push the whole situation and your opinions down her throat. how many times does one need to hear what you would do vs what she is doing? only she can decide which way to go in life and only she will live with the outcome.. be supportive and hope for the best but be there for her unconditionally if the worst is to happen.
ah life.. sometimes so entertaining and other times just another boring day going by..
