Pre party

Tomorrow is going to be a fun day for the family, how ever it works out my grandparents have a similar birthday month. So instead of celebrating them one at a time we join them together. Lori has one pretty close to my G so she opted to have her birthday this weekend also, not that we don't do some tiny celebrating on the actual day. See, my sister is no dummy, she gets two birthdays this way.
Luke and his monster crew are here already, Kyle and Camen are running around the house and the twins are scrubbing their belly's on the floor sort of like little slugs with the drool trials.
Kyle is into pirate mode right now he talks like a pirate and makes you walk the plank. Poor Camen she just doesn't get it and bobbles all over the “plank” and it aggravates him. “Nooooo little sissy, its like diss!” and he does some little march and then pretends to go off into the brink. PG and I are making him a treasure chest for Easter with “treasures” inside for the both of them. Jacks is coming down on Saturday, he will be with them on the holiday so he will add a few items in it and give it away then.
I kind of miss Jacks a little bit, hes having a terrible time at his job, not that he cant do it. Back in July of last year a guy that works with them blew a gasket because Jacks basically walked in off the street and adapted to the position they gave him so well they promoted him. He has a really nice office on the 6th floor, with a pretty good view. A big desk for him to draw to his hearts content, which he does. Hes had plenty of compliments from the people he works with about his abilities and was progressing along. Although the guy was intimidated with him jumping up the ladder so quickly and reminded their boss, he was at the time, was only a temp.
Now hes no longer a temp and working his way back up once more, although maybe as a test, they paired him up with the jerk that squealed on him. From what I understand the man is a total ass and is willing to find any mistakes and blame them on Jacks, so he is on his Ps and Qs until the project is done.
Speaking of asses Pops will be of course here, matter of fact hes been home for nearly 2 months now without any real incident. I have a feeling hes waiting for this weekend to throw a good one. Because he keeps asking whomever will listen if Jacks is coming down as well. If anything I will be popping some popcorn to watch the action.
This year the weather has started off really odd, we actually had some snow, I think the last time that happened it was over a decade ago. Oh, we have the occasional sleet warning and may be frost or icing on bridges but never snow. This whole week has been nothing but rain, warm weather but rain. Which as kicked in colds, G has the sniffles and ear ache and now my left tonsil is aching and my throat hurts when I swallow. That's all we need is a group together and few of them sick.
I have to remember to set the clocks forward too!
