I’m back, I think.

It’s been a very busy week here for me; the fountain is almost to a good start. At one time I wanted to pick it up and throw it at the family; I’ve met some indecisive people in my life but come on!
I had to be the “mean old boss” Tuesday with some of the gents, they were working on the City projects, meaning, watering the flowers and plants, maintaining the grass and checking the tree limb situation. I drive over and there are eight, no less, sitting around at 9 am just yucking it up having a grand old time, drinking coffee or what ever. Not so bad really but they had 2 water trucks on a one way street causing minor road blockage. If you know me and traffic, then you know that didn’t sit very well. I gave them the scolding and walked off, one new guy asked me what my problem was…..he found out but quick, I laid in on him like a duck on a June bug.
I need a break, some relaxation and down time, I want to see Jacks or maybe the niece and nephew. Anything but these blocked up city streets and that damned fountain.
Mom is better and relaxing; she gave me a huge scare on Sunday but is improving it appears. The worst part of the whole ordeal is to see her in pain; you see it in her beautiful blue green eyes. So much pain she would be sick and rest-less. Lori would cuddle up around her, knowing she loves the attention, you could tell she wanted to be left alone only because of the aches.
I haven’t spent anytime with Jacks, maybe an occasional catch up text but nothing like usual. Luke has been sent out of the state for a new class in some sort of programming he does. I’m not sure what class it is maybe “triple pound sign C” or “Java to the extreme”, whatever it is, its way over my head. I’ve called every once in a while to check up on Julie and the tikes. They are fine; Camen took her first roll down a flight of stairs the other day, now she frowns at them and shakes her finger and its “bad, bad!” Julie said she heard her roll and then scream bloody murder and just knew she would find body parts all over the landing. Camen was sitting in the floor rubbing her head and slapping the steps, she said she didn’t know whether to laugh or pass out from the relief she was punishing the steps.
Beth stopped in Wednesday to let me see her child, he still is cute. He walked right up to me and held his arms up wanting to be picked up. You can tell he wants some male attention and probably needs it. I would be talking to someone with him in my arms and hear “awwwwww” with his mouth wide open and drooling he would lean in and smash it to my cheek. Everything is “No” you can ask him if he is hungry and it’s the no answer but shove a cookie near him and his mouth flies open. Kids….. Just as indecisive.
