3RD JULY 2002
What a great start to the day.... I
got to sleep in without being nagged
about it AND my wonderful 9 year old
grandson Jared made me toast and
coffee and brought it through to the
bedroom for me.
This is his first ever attempt at
making either of the above. He
brought through the first slice of
toast and asked me how 'well toasted'
I like it.....
It was BLACK!!! *S*
The second try was perfect
<GRIN>
At the moment... 10:30 in the
morning...
I hope to look forward to the best
present of all.
Jason promised that Chantal would
take the cat today..
Lord, I hope so!!
Yesterday, Mum came through and asked
me to go through to the kitchen to
see 'something'...
the blasted cat was on the middle of
the table...
feet in the flowers I have in the
centre,
and was hanging from the light
pendant!!!!!!
The vase tipped over....
Jason had my camera... damn....
I knew he wouldn't believe me.
This is the light fitting she was
swinging from.
It was lowered of course *S*
Geez... Smudge, our poor lost Devon
Rex never did stuff like this! I
think this one... Buffy (Vampire
Slayer) knows that it ticks me off...
so is hell bent on making me angry
all the time *S*
Got
these beautiful Faes from Mum... I
just love them!!
The
flowers behind are from Jared *S*
As for Jason.... well.... he just
left (12:15pm) with Jared.. not so
much as a "Happy Birthday Mum.."
and I thought he'd changed.... Dream
on Jamie!!
He's 32 years old and NEVER remembers
BUT
today there was no excuse... he
couldn't help overhearing Jared
wishing me Happy Birthday or
seeing the Faes and flowers.That's
O.K.... I'll 'forget' to invite him
out for dinner tonight... we're going
Chinese (my favourite). We have a
great Chinese Restaurant here in
Hervey Bay... I love their food.
Saturday
20th July
Here
I go again... taxing my memory LOL!! For
those of you interested... NO, Jason
didn't
remember my Birthday! His memory was
jogged when he helped unload the
shopping and spied a cake...He
turned up the next day with a bottle
of my favourite wine, cheeses, pate
etc., and Chantal in tow.
Big Deal!
I mean how hard is it to remember
that my Birthday is the day BEFORE
American Independence Day??? HUH???
I never get the chance to forget
his...
there's always something he
needs.End
of subject!********
Jared
was off school for 3 weeks (holidays)
but he ended up going back to school
for a few days during the hols. They
had outings, campfire cooking etc.,
and his Dad was too busy so instead
of being stuck with a couple of
fuddie-duddies (Mum and I) all the
time he spent a few days with kids
his own age. He was selective
about which days he'd go *S*We
got rid of the cat! YIPPEE!!
Chantal got herself an apartment...
the cat joined her the next day *S*
She's tried to talk Jared into taking
the cat back, but he won't be
swayed... I love that kid!!Now
that she has the apartment we hardly
see Jason at night. I had to tell him
that he's not single and carefree...
he has a son who needs his attention!
Jared finally spent time with his
brother, Hayden,twice during the
holdays. (It's been over a year...
kinda hard to believe when the live
10 minutes from each other!! )Jared
gave up phoning his Mum and asking if
he could spend time with his
brother... he kept getting
rejected.... Anyway, he had one day
with his Mother (she took him with
her while she was doing the week's
grocery shopping) and two days the
next weekend when he and Hayden spent
the weekend with their Dad (and
Chantal) which I thought it was a
great idea!! *S*
So did the kids *SSSSSS*Goodness..
for 2 days the house stayed spick and
span, it was great!
30th
July 2002
We've
had no rain for weeks, I can't
believe the weather. We had a couple
of weeks when it was cold during the
night and since then it's been like
Spring which isn't supposed to be
here until the end of August. I can
see we'll be in for another HOT
Summer.... damn!!!
Jared
phoned his Mum to ask what time he
should go over on Saturday. (She
promised that he could go over to her
place this weekend). She told him she
was 'working' (that's a joke) and he
couldn't go. He ended his phone
conversation with her saying "Love you!!"
and as soon as he hung up he said
"NOT!!"I
feel so sorry for him where she's
concerned. BUT she's going to be the
one who's sorry when he grows up,
he's not going to forget the constant
rejection.
This hasn't been a very
"Newsy" month...sorry.I
haven't been much in the mood for
anything and feel so totally guilty
about not keeping in touch with you
all lately. I've been feeling 'down'
with my hands and feet problems, I've
never felt so lousy in my entire
life. Even when I was worn out
looking after George, once I had a
good night's sleep everything seemed
better. This never gets any better.
Some mornings I can hardly get out of
bed and once I do.... I have to sit
in a chair until 'gravity' sets in
before I can even walk through to the
kitchen for my morning coffee. My
feet feel like I'm walking on stumps.
Some days I can't even use the
computer because my hands are so
swollen.
I have a specialist appointment
coming up on the 19th of August...
Lord, I hope he can help. Doesn't
matter what medication I take....
nothing works.On
that note I'll finish for this month
and hope that next month will be
better.I'll
have some photos next month *S*May
the Lord protect you all.HugsJamie
