Its been a long few days since my last post, finals are coming up for me and work is kicking me in the rear and Mom is still in the hospital. I‘ve been taking care of odds and ends around the house, with Lori. She’s not adjusting this time so well with Mom being away and Pops being home so much. I can see why, so I hang out with her as much as possible or send her off to spend the night with Julie.
Julie is my best friends Trace little sister, she is a riot at times, so boy crazy for a 12 year old. My God she’s 12 and about to become a teen in a month or so. I can remember when they moved in the house down from us she was so hyper and chatty. Trace only wanted to be cool and stay in the ocean to surf, looking back we all were so tiny.
At first and still Jacks and Trace were buds, they couldn’t be separated at times. Doing some of the craziest things. The flying on motorcycles at midnight to shoot fireworks at each other, all night surf sit outs on the second sand bar, jumping off the pier. Oh man and the internet antics they pulled. My brother was a little DJ man on the internet for a while, Trace would get on with him around 3 am and do the craziest things.
My sister and Julie now are the two crazies with the boys in school and on the beach. Trace and I swore neither would marry until they reached the age of 40 and could possibly date around 35. Oh, I know I’m exaggerating but it’s a funny thought and very reassuring to me.
Yesterday my Ex came in with child in tow, I swear, even though his Mom is a total nutcase, he is pretty darn cute, for a little bald guy. He’s semi starting to stand, she plopped him on my office floor and I stuck my fingers out to him and he naturally grabbed both and pulled up. I sat there amazed as he bounced up and down cooing at me with two tiny tiny teeth on his bottom jaw. I think either my hand were sweaty or his just lotioned , I just knew he would slip off my fingers so in an surprising instant I grabbed him up and stood him on my legs. He roared in laughter at me and swung his arms around as if he were to fly off.
I saw the look of shock in her face as I held him --since I swore to myself I never would-. It felt good to hang on to the little guy as he drooled all over my jeans and commenced to bob up and down.
Diane and Cari walked in my office, their jaws hit the floor, Diane gave off a scowl and dropped her papers on my desk and walked out. Cari wanted to see if I needed lunch -- in reality they were trying to give me an out to get rid of my visitors-.
After they left I just sat there thinking of the days…. Maybe tomorrow 101 can be something along those lines.
