Month: April 2014

  • Good Friday…

    Today has been just that. I know that the days seem to just swim by.

    E. quit his job and has taken a new job he will start on Monday. He is still much the same.

    KND. is working and going to school and getting ready to graduate from High School.

    BigE. He is loving his job and wanting to work closer to full time but that will take a while. He just bought me dinner. :-)

    MidE is coming home for a month this summer after he gradutaes from High School. He is also working a part time job and they are saving his job for when he gets back from our house. He is looking at working and going to college this fall.

    LilE is still struggling with attitude but for the most part he is doing ok. I just wish why he is trying to rebel when there is truly no reason to rebel against me but he is.

    WahE is doing much of the same he has always done. Full of life and fun but still trying to do everything for everyone.

     

    As for me, I am having the time of it. Good times and bad. The good are amazing. I have been gaming with my oldest and youngest fighting monsters and loving ever minute of it. The only reason that LilE isn’t is because for some reason he refuses to play games with WahE and now he is mad at BigE. So I game with him some of the time and with the other two some of the time. We have had such fun playing Monster Hunter. Other than that I am just doing the same. Keeping house, washing laundry, homeschooling the boys and all that sort of thing. I am also still looking for a job. It is really hard to find work when one is the sole caregiver for 2 boys under the age of 16. Soon they will be that  old then I will be able to get a job easy.

  • Palm Sunday Happenings…..

    Today was a day for spending with my boys. Went to church, came home, ate lunch and then our adventure began.

    We drove downtown to the San Diego Library to participate in Nintendo Ds (3Ds and other ones as well) Streetpass with the theme of Animal Crossing. The 3 boys that are at home, BigE, LilE and WahE were with me.

    This meet-up is really fun. We play games with those around us. WahE was able to play his favorite game with a few people, BigE and WahE played Mario party with a few others as well. LilE created a Mario quiz and spent quite some time with another person discussing Mario Cannon (quite entertaining). While I sat there and played video games with enjoying listening to my kids having fun with others like minded. We arrived at 2 and it went to 5. Then we came home.

    We had a great day. I am glad to find that we can do this once a month. I think it may help them develop a better sense of themselves and their ability to talk with others. BigE is forming a few friendships, and LilE spent time chatting with someone that does coding for a few online games. This guy is starting to talk with him about the game that LilE has been developing for quite some time. I hope  for my boys that this time will help them to be able to want to do more out in the world and find their place to be an adult.

  • life

    it sure seems like life sure likes to get in the way of my blogging.

    A few weeks ago the world seemed like it would take forever. I have had the best of times and the worst of times. I have had a few days of just hanging out and having fun playing monster hunter with all my boys. We have all of us playing and having a rip roaring time. And then we have had the times of just sitting here crying because of how LilE is so angry and hurting. I wish he would realize how much we love him and stop being so selfish. We all just go on with our lives and get on with it but the good times have truly been good.
