JENJEN IS HERE!

We made it home safe and sound, to two happy little kids and Kevin and Tandy.  The house was so clean and kid clutter free :(  They were all ready to leave this morning.  Fortunately we got home in time for me to read them their bedtime stories…Magic Schoolbus and Twisters…how great is that!?

After the kids went to bed, the four of us sat around the kitchen table and told stories.  Spod was full of travel stories, some of them not so pc I might add!  Then we got telling kid stories and got laughing and had such a good time.

Jennifer arrived mid morning and what a spectacular sight she is.  I will have to get some pics to post here.  She is close to six feet tall (especially with her heels on), very beautiful black hair (she is one of those true true blonds..so go figure) a head band tied like the old pin up girls.  Her polka dot dress was a fantastic throw back to the fifties and she has many many tattoos!  Bright red lipstick and the odd piercing completes the look.  And it suits her to a T!!  I like seeing people turn themselves out just the way they are inspired to.  Takes guts and courage…something she is certainly not short on!!!

It was so good to catch up on all her news.  She leads the kind of life that keeps me fascinated for hours!  She is a welder and in the past a bus driver.  She has three rambunctious and awesome boys 7 to 14.  We don't see nearly enough of those grand children but I hope to in the near future.

Spod is doing better now we are home. He is keeping up with his chores and he is downing yop/boost/V8 etc like there's no tomorrow.  He can be so funny.  He can still be annoying too.  I told him just because you have the C word doesn't mean you aren't going to get a smack on the back of the head when you need it!!

  The doc gave him some pretty powerful pain pills, special ones, and last night he took  the recommended two.  After about an hour he got up to go to bed and found he was dizzy and floaty and sleepy!  He was quite enjoying the whole experience!  And he slept right through the night…first time in forever.  He is looking forward to his nightly dose now…way to much!

I made Jen her fave dinner, ribs.  It was kind of weird shopping today.  I was getting food for the next few days and realized I was shopping for just me.  It was totally discombobulating.   I hope that Spod will be able to eat soon.  

Now its time to dole out Spod's pill.  His tummy is hurting.  He is so strong and sure puts up with more than I ever would.  TTYL
