This week began with boxing, I had terrific help and we got a lot more accomplish than I had imagined. My sister 😉 came with her children for two days, so they spent the night!
The kids camped in the living room, it worked out well. They were really good helpers and I greatly appreciated them!
I would say the best part was night time, us sisters talked for hours!!
Wes did great while his cousins and aunt visited, but then he seemed a bit weird. On thursday I had an outing with my first class of girls, so dinner wasnt going to happen for me. He was out for a long time returning at 8:30; I expressed I wanted and was going to go get ice cream. He turned me down... Also he wasn't hungry for dinner... After thawing lasagna over night for him.
I got my ice cream anyhow... Felt kind of like drinking alone... Wait, that is what I am doing now.
Oh yeah, on the way back to Kentucky, JT had to have the red dragon towed to the apartment dice the fuel pump went kaput. He got it fixed on Thursday, finishing on Friday, so we lost a day of him being here helping move.

Week two of phase one
Things seem smoother around here this week, but outside the door is another story. Tuesday a kid on a bike took a tumble and smacked his head on the pavement, proving he should have had a helmet on.
This evening it seems we hear a lot of squealing tires lately and thought none hung of it once again, until the neighbor kids knocked to tell me that a blue jeep drove through my lawn... Making large ruts, I called and reported it. Not sure what I was supposed to do. Uncommon color for a jeep.
I wanted wes to mow where he skipped, also where the jeep rutted, and now the mower doesn't want to run??
Meals this week: goulash. Chicken sandwiches Steak on the grill. Maid rites

Phase one JT starts job
Well this is the first week of the new job, he is missing his bike, not wanting to drive the truck everywhere.
This was also the first week being here with Wes. I was disappointed that he didn't attend my nephews first communion who has always looked up to and enjoys time with Wes. Voicing my disappointment was probably the start of a bad week for us, really it wasn't bad until I tried to talk to him about safety and why it concerns me that he doesn't care.
Mary was here and help the conversation, but still ended with him out the door in a puff. I called JT and he spoke with him. Later Wes called to say where he was and that he was sorry. He ended the call before saying what he was sorry for, but when he returned home he was pleasant to be around.
Phase one will continue for another two weeks, I hope it is uphill from here. Phase ones usually are the most unpleasant and the most unknown right?
Maybe I should have taken JTs advise on not telling anyone, the amount of times someone asks how it is going/ did you find a place down there, is exhausting. Granted friend/ family concern for me during this phase one is surprising and much appreciative.
I am not excited about moving into another apartment but it will give me close access to jobs and ability to meet new people. I really hope it will not be a long stay before we find a county home where I can be self-sustaining. With the economy and craziness with the way cost have changed and will continue to do so, I don't want to have to be dependent on much other than myself, and God.
