Well, at last check, I am still a slightly cracked lopsided bowl. Barefoot Jim has not captured the wayward Wiley Teenage girl, Marlon Perkins has not narrated a how-to on protecting oneself from a teenager or the care, feeding & training of one in semi-captivity. The house has been slightly more calm but I am also slightly more medicated so I can never be sure if it is my mis-perception or truly the case.
Staying on track with relatively-current events: a while back, a week maybe, I read about a plane carrying 5 skydivers crashed, there were no survivors. Now, I know I'm a sick puppy & I admit I did not bother reading this whole article. However, I found myself chuckling at the headline. If ever there was a missed golden opportunity - that was it. They were skydivers, they had parachutes, why didn't they bail out before the crash? In other somewhat current news, Paris Hilton was/is fairly traumatized by her pending jail term. GOOD! She should be, she should have to own up to her actions & face consequences for heavens sakes!!!! Don't look for me to shed a tear over that one! Big surprise Ana Nicole Smith's diary was about sex, surgery & depression - gee, I'm stunned, who'd have guessed? I certainly didn't expect her to be writing about global warming or starving 3rd world country children. Honestly.
Back to the home front! The move in date for my niece & her fiance is getting closer. I'm excited. I left a note for my wayward teen daughter to be moved back in no later than next Tuesday or else. I'm sure that will go over like alka-seltzer in seagulls but it's an attempt on my part at least. My 7 yr old reminded his 6 yr old brother today that Sissy left the family. That totally broke my heart, how her actions are affecting her little brothers. They will survive, possibly with a nervous tick or two, but they'll survive. UG.
My step-brother & his friend were passing through town & invited me out to breakfast this morning. It was lovely catching up with them & visiting although I tend to become overly excited at real live grown up conversational opportunities & let my mouth run amok. Other wise, it was great. A few awkward but necessary moments when speaking about will/trust/estate issues from my late father & his late mother, I felt quite tacky but we mucked our way through it. He's a great guy, a survivor, a psychologist & has a great sense of humor & a loving personality that shines through even in dark circumstances. We didn't grow up together, he & my other step-siblings were already grown with their own families when my father & their mother got married. It was nice catching up with how people were doing & having long forgotten memories resurface - good ones too - which in themselves are a rarity. Hopefully I didn't come across as too much of a nut!!! Anyway, not much new & exciting to report today but I'd like to wish you a lovely day & evening. Be Blessed, Whomever your higher power be, be blessed dear readers!
