Happy Wednesday people!
Hope this finds you all well. As you know if you read this regularly or follow it at all, that my oldest son came home last week! It has been going well so far, as there is always an adjustment period. The thing im not getting is how he thinks his friends are more important than his mother brothers and family. I get and remember when your that age your life is your friends, but you would think that if you havent seen your family in awhile you would be psyched to see them, especially since we are living somewhere new and can do way more here in massachusetts than we were able to do in washington. He was fine the first two days then the attitude started, and the huffing and puffing. And also he is texting every 5 seconds. No matter what we are doing he is texting.Even before he left his dads he was posting messages on his facebook talking about he was leaving for the summer etc and no one was positive about it for him!! Ya i get they will miss him but they should be like have a great time! take lots of pics etc, not one person except for his dads aunt. Part of his problem is he doesnt want to stay as long as he is. well tuff toodles buddy, its the only other flights we could get in the same price, we arent made of money! and we tried to change it but cant afford the price change difference between the different tickets, and the fee, thats how the airlines make their money, the fees and the cost of the tickets, plus we have to pay for his seats and baggage. We explained that before he came and then since hes been here, and hes like well ill give it to the 12th then if im not likeing it i want to leave? i was like who is going to pay for that? he said my dad will come get me or my friends. i was like their parents are going to give them gas money and let them drive to the east coast ..i dont think so. and i know his dad wont do it he doesnt have the money. We will be fairly busy coming up so hopefully he will adjust his attitude because i think its rude. He needs to lay off the texting and give things a chance. Hell we have already spent more money here on "things to do" then we have then entire time we have lived here. On top of that my sister flies in tomorrow so she is here for 10 days which im excited about but i know she would tell him the same thing. I dont know if im over-reacting but damn its no way to treat people after they shell out the kind of money we have for all of this. yes im his parent and its part of the parenting job, but i have never taught him to be disrespectful etc. The hubs has been working between 50-80 hrs a week for at least 2 months to have money to do things and buy more food than normal because of how a 15 year old eats. he even acts like he cant stand to be around his brothers, when there are at least 7 kids at his dads that are younger than him. the whole thing makes me mad, for one because next summer we have already talked about him not staying so long, and thats even if he comes because he will be almost 17 and may have a job and his license by then.
So far we have bought a beach pass for the summer so on the hot days we can go there. we went and spent 100$ to go to battleship cove which he seemed to like. we've gone out to eat and also the drive in to see toy story 3 and prince of persia. we have spent so far 263$ on groceries and still have more to get. and the hubs wants to work on driving with him so when he gets to drivers training he will have some knowledge and he doesnt seem interested. everything we do go see hes texting. he says its cuz hes 15 and thats what they do but you would think that he would show interest. well im off to get busy for the arrival tomorrow, hope every one has a great week. we have the 4th coming up and tours of boston, cape cod, and ECLIPSE...YIPEEEE!!!!!!! i cant wait! have a great rest of the week everyone!

And let the craziness begin!!!
Hi Everyone!
Happy Monday!..I cant believe how fast the weekend came and went. Friday we didnt do much since the hubs worked that day. Saturday we decided to get up and at'em early, we were out the door by 10 am. We went to a huge new super super walmart that just opened and were looking to see if they had anything different than what is at the one close to our house.We picked up a few items at the new walmart and then we took the kids to the pet store just to look at the fish and get out of the house. We picked up some lunch came home and ate it. We hung out here, M fell asleep ont he couch and E watched STAR WARS on tv. While the kids were doing that the hubs changed the boys room around to make it seem like there is more room in there, when there really isnt. Its a much smaller room than we had in wa for them. We ended up going to the walmart close to our house and got some bins to store stuff under the kids beds. We had a relaxing nite and the kids went to bed and the hubs did too and i stayed up late catching up on some shows on the dvr. I got to sleep till 8 on sunday and the hubs was awake early but fell back asleep till 11. His mother called and apparently there was a family function that day, so no notice until that call about it and it takes about 2 hrs to get to where the shin-dig was going on at. so we hurried up got showered/dressed etc, to walk out the door to head up at 1230-1 and didnt get there till 230. It was the hubs grandpas 75th birthday. it was a nice bbq. they had chicken hot dogs and burgers, with corn on the cob, pasta salad, potato salad, and macaroni salad, plus some sort of onion yuckiness. and then of course cake and ice cream plus a veggie platter and chips and dip.
another thing adding to the craziness, is that the hubs is going for two weeks away for work. to MAINE. its only like 2 hrs away but its two weeks straight. So we are going to have to shell out money for the sitter, but at least its only twice this week and twice next week. But that is still alot of money when we are having guest pretty soon! So needless to say it will be interesting. Not that i cant handle the kids but it will be weird since its the first time since we have been on the east coast that he is leaving. We will see!
Now we are into the final countdown to the guests/family. As you know fathers day is the 20th of june. The hubs bday is june 24th. and then right before the hubs bday R is flying in from his dads. This is the thing that sucks... having to share him with his dad. He will be here till early august then go back to his dads, unless he chooses to stay and not go back.
then July 1st Karen is flying in from europe....wahoo! I for one cant wait!! I havent seen her much since M has been born. She went over there the beginning of august 2006 and he was born at the end of august. I saw her once in 2005 after our mom died ( this is another post) and then she came in july 2008 to seattle and we saw her for about a day and a half. This will be 10 days of sistely fun, spending time with all her nephews and taking her around the east coast. Im trying to convince her to move here! Shes applied for a few jobs, but hasnt heard back and that may be for the fact that she has international ph # right now and they may not want to call that. She wants to live in boston and we live not far outside of it, but she claims shes a city girl but we told her she could live with us till she got enough money set aside to get a place a car etc, since she had to get rid of everything to move over there, and im not sure how much she is going to ship home, she has 3 years of life over there to go thru and send back. But the crazyness of our summer is now beginning! YAY!!!
