Sabbath

What a long day. I spent from 7:00 AM till 1:00 PM in church doing the presentation for both services. After church I went home and mowed, edged, weeded, and trimmed from 2:00 PM till about 5:00 PM. My yard does look perfect. I think I have the greenest grass on the street. It looks just perfect! After that I ordered a pizza and vacuumed the house. Debbie and Britty went over to see her parents and sister with Izzy. I just can't go over there, it's just to much of a mess. I don't think it's a safe house for Izzy, but they can't help themselves. It's just so much stuff. They came home quickly and I sat outside and read for awhile. I went to sleep early.

Izzy wasn't feeling well.

Today Izzy wasn't feeling well at all. Debbie thinks it's teething but regardless I hate to see her that way. She didn't nap at all today. I just tried to help her feel better. It must really hurt teething like that.

Monday

I shouldn't say that nothing exciting happened today. Everyday I'm with Izzy, is pretty exciting. I think alot about how I am and what I am doing. It's important for me to be the best father I can be. We went for a couple of walks today and played. I've been cleaning the carpets in the house the last few days. They look alot better. I like my house looking good. I bbq'd some burgers tonight and after Izzy went to sleep, I went outside and chatted with some of the neighbors. I talked to my Mom and Dad yesterday and I feel pretty bad about them not seeing Izzy yet. That upsets me. I'd like my Dad most of all to see my baby. I think he'd really like that alot. I miss both my parents alot sometimes. They are having their 50th wedding anniversary soon. I can't go since I have the start of school that week and can't miss. I just feel disappointed and sad. I guess it's just something I have to get over. I'm looking foreward to tomorrow morning and spending another day with Izzy.

Getting tired

I sure am getting tird out by this little girl. I guess I'm just not able to do some things like someone younger. but then they aren't able to do somethings like I can. I'd rather be my age. Forty Five isn't so bad in fact it's pretty nice.

Friday has been worse!

Today went well in the morning. We woke-up had breakfast, went for a nice walk and went shopping. Izzy and I drove to Redlands and went to Gymboree for some play classes. It wasn't going to start for a few hours and I had a free pass so I decided to come back another day. We went to the Verizon store and bit the bullet and bought myself the Motorola Q pda/phone that I wanted. It's really cool and I'm enjoying all the features. I'll blog about that later. The vacuum cleaner took a dive at home so I stopped at Target and bought a new one. I do love to vacuum, when I feel stressed. I really don't know why, but I get that vacuum out and just go to town. Maybe I just wore the other one out. Then we went to Stater Brothers for some food for dinner. I'm going to some steaks. It was a good morning overall and Izzy is such a doll. Debbie got home and took Britty to get her permit at the DMV in Banning. Izzy was taking her nap so that's not a problem. I am getting tired of not being able to get alot of my work around the house done. Debbie and Britty always seem to be busy going places and I stay home with Izzy. It kinda makes me feel mad. Izzy and I aren't with them much. I need to talk to Debbie about that. Izzy and I had an appointment at the WIC office in Banning to get some services for her, if she needs them. Free food is what it comes down to. Our Social Worker told us to get this, too off set the cost of taking Izzy. I guess because her natural parents don't support her, we get some help. Britty passed her test at the DMV, so she needs 6 hours of lesson behind the whell and she'll have her permitt. Debbie was taking Britty to a pitching lesson but the WIC worker needed Debbie. So Debbie and Britty had to come over to the WIC office in Banning. The appointment took longer then we thought so we decided to go to the new Applebees in Beaumont. It had just opened a week ago and I was suprised we got seated right away. It was nice to have dinner, although I felt angry and resentful at Debbie and Britty. It's something I need to talk over with Debbie.

Busy Thursday

This morning, Izzy let us sleep in. She didn't get up until 7:00 PM. That's late for her. I took Britty to Softball practice and had to catch for her. I'm not very good, but I've never had an interest in sports. Debbie had to take Coco to the Vet with Izzy. I don't know how she did that, put she said Coco was a good boy. He has elevated Liver levels and that's what caused Chili's death. I'm pretty worried, I don't want to loose him too. I tried to get my homework done but just couldn't. Debbie went and got her hair done at noon alone leaving Britty crying in her room. She'd just pushed it too far with an attitude and so she was left home with Izzy and I. I left her alone, but I'm really getting tired of her attitude and disrespect. On well, I guess it's just something that all teenagers have and I'll deal with it. Debbie took Britty to something else and caved in getting Britty's hair done also. Jeff, our Social Worker stopped by to check up on everything and it went well. Then off to school and another mind numbing night of boredom.
