Thoughts, Feelings, Rants~~
1:23am (Thurs)
Today was a good day. The hubs took the ten yr old to go grab a few things from the store and bring back slushes for every one (yep, I drank a WHOLE small one, for shame on me! I know I know). He did bring back the cooking supplies for the kids to help make the meal that they chose from the children's cookbook we have. They LOVE making things from there. It is nice for them to do things themselves and to see it go from just raw ingrediants and mixed together and cooked into yummy food.

My neighbor and I took our kids and our dogs for a walk. It really was a great time! The poor woman has a one year old and a 2 1/2 year old plus she does home day care! Her husband is a RABID (I use the word specifically too! hehe) hunter. He takes the only vehical they have and is gone from the time he has to get up to go to work and then comes home like 10pm and just falls into bed. I was once married to a similar guy, at least her husband calls her and talks to her. My ex was a cold hearted SOB that didn't care if I lived or died or how his own child was doing. If it works for her though, then I'm in no position to pass judgement. I just know for me, it's bad enough having to deal with the children ALL summer while they are out of school. Trying to get things for them to do is bad enough! I can't imagine having little babies and toddlers home all day PLUS other peoples children that you are having to watch, and she doesn't enjoy it! She does it for the money, which to me, you should do what you love, because if not, then you resent the kids (which she does treat her children differently then the day care kids she watches), and that's never good. She's hoping to get back into the CNA class and finish up her training to get her certificate. I think she'll be MUCH happier with that!

My husband has been able to get the week off and has really just been hanging around the house. he BARELY did 2 loads of dishes and FINALLY picked up the tarp I'd been asking him for going on THREE weekends to do. He still needs to get the pool folded up and put away He's the worlds WORST procrastinator. I don't ask him to do anything with the kids. It has to be something that he feels the urge to do, to bond with them, you can't force someone to take an interest in their children. It's sad but his kids will eventually grow up and they'll recall how uninvolved he was. That will be ALL him. I wish him the best in explaining how damn computer games were MORE important to him then coloring, going outside and playing ball with his kids and taking an interest in what they were doing. At least they know their momma loves them and listens to them. No wonder athelets and famous people are ALWAYS thanking their moms. Damn skippy! Who is the person ALWAYS there for them?? Yep, the mom! Since birth baby! hehe Hopefully he'll realize the error of his ways and understand how important it is for his children (especially boys that need a GOOD role model to help them become great men) to have HIM be in their lives and show them how much he loves them and how interested he is in what they are doing. Maybe one day, until, mom is here and mom is listening! hehe

Nothing makes a child feel more loved, wanted, and secure then the arms of their loving mother. Hug your child today, the time for those hugs grows shorter with each passing day. Enjoy them and give them while you can.
