Summer is finally here
Today marks the first day that I do not have to run four children all over town to school. I slept until almost 7:30 which for me is late. The plan for the day is nothing. Matt and I ran out last night to the grocery store, so I don't even have to do that today. Jammie day all the way.
I am going to spend a little time cleaning this morning. I am hoping that today I will have the energy. I have just been so tired from the past week that all I want to do is sit. Bella and the puppies seem to be doing wonderfully. They are acting like well fed little things, so thus far, we have not had to supplement. If you have never tried to bottle feed a puppy; imagine having three preemies without the benefit of the NICU. It is difficult and exhausting.
Father's Day was a quiet affair per normal. Matt always is working, but Caleb was waiting to pounce on him the minute he walked in the door. He was so excited to have Daddy open his card we bought him. Jake made this hilarious video and emailed it over yesterday morning. Liz and Josh? Well, Josh finally called about 5 and Liz never did. Caleb wanted to call Jake to tell him how funny the video was and that was when Liz finally got on the phone. Just another way for H to play her mindgames. I don't blame the kids; I blame H. We always make sure that they call her for holidays and birthdays. It is just the right thing to do, but she likes to be passive aggressive and pull things like this. Matt won't admit it, but it hurt his feelings just a bit. Whitney wrote him a cute note in the card she got him, so he was feeling the love from most of the kids.
I must say that being married to Matt has at least made me enjoy the day once again. After the loss of my dad's and my divorce; I hated Father's Day. I had no one to call and celebrate with, it made it less fun. At least now I can watch the kids get excited over the day and help them plan what they want to buy.
Alyssa is scheduled to be here in just about two weeks. I am still not sure she will get on the plane alone, so I am not planning too much until she actually is on it and it takes off. This would not be the first time that she changed her mind at the last possible second. Whitney is having mixed feelings about the possibility of her staying. She wants her to visit, but then she wants her to leave. I have told her it is Alyssa's decision to make and to not try and change her mind.
I am off to enjoy this first quiet day of summer. Hope you all have a great day.

I hope you're enjoying! :o) At least H keeps a phone! I asked about having the kids be able to call their father on the holidays that they weren't with him and was promptly told that I could call his mother's, speak with that hag or her grouchy-ass boyfriend and hope that he's there on her sofa or that they're on speaking terms so that the message would be relayed. Knowing full well that the favor would never be returned on holidays that they're with him, it hardly seems worth the effort.
@filtered_sunlight - It really isn't worth the effort. If I had to contact the second loon in command to speak with H; it would simply never happen. Oh, btw; they didn't make it car shopping for her dream car on Friday as planned. Yet another time H was talking out her very large ass.
I just have to keep repeating "some people will never grow up"; I think you are going to spend much of the next few years repeating the same thing.
@gwacemom - LOL. You have got that right! Perhaps the worst part of it is that everytime I do have to talk to "those people", they talk down to me. It's amazing and scary at the same time... They've all got this wonderful superiority complex and can't even begin to see how far off base they really are. *sigh*
I think it is funny that Whit wants Alyssa to visit but not stay. Gotta love sisters!
I hope that you get some time to relax with everyone at home!
