Well I'm On My Own This Evening...

Post by Lord Jim »

Kelly and Tati And Jimmy are down The Peninsula at Little Sister's...

She's expecting her third, and she's overdue...(she's nine years younger then Kelly so at 34, that's not all that unusual)

She has two little boys; one that is a year younger than Jimmy, and another that is about a year older...(she said she had them that close so they could grow up together and have a better relationship than she and her sister...yes, they've got issues... 8-) )

She decided to have another child now primarily because she was looking to have a daughter, but it didn't turn out that way, apparently she's a boy factory...

But she's good with that, and I have to give her credit, she's really a wonderful, responsible parent...(unlike some of the girlfriends she used to hang with, she had the sense to wait until she was ready to be a parent to become one)

I've known her since she was nine, and she was a real "Wild Child" as a teenager; I thought she was headed for prison...an habitual truant, drinking when she was 13, arrested for shop lifting...

But she got her act together, went back to school, has a great job and has become a very responsible adult...(Except for the fact that she doesn't have the sense to leave Roman Craig, but that's another story...)

I frequently make it a point to tell her how shocked I am that she actually turned out so well... :)

In any event, mi familia are going to be down there for the next few days...

I could go too, but I said I had some work I had to deal with...

(that wasn't a complete lie; I do have some stuff that needs doing, though most of it I can do on line from anywhere...I just didn't feel like spending 3,4, 5 days paling around with Roman...I've had enough "family togetherness" with him sharing cabins at Tahoe in the summer the past few years...I'll drive down when I get the word she's going to the hospital and she's ready to pop...)

So anyway, here I am all by my lonesome, and you know what that means....

A few drinks and a couple of games of darts at The Four Deuces....

And then...

An ANCHOVIE PIZZA!!! :ok :ok :ok

Yes, I'm a wild man... 8-)

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Wow...

BIG baby...

Nine pounds eight ounces... :shock:

When I heard that, my immediate reaction was, "is this a baby or a seal pup?"...

But the big fellow seems to be doing fine; Little Sister is going to spend another night at the hospital...(I don't blame her; after that delivery she ought to stay off her feet for a week...)

I hope you were appropriately punished with a smack to the back of the head for that one. :anvil:

Actually a sock in the arm...

Administered by Tati, (which I thought was kind of hypocritical, since she was also struggling to avoid giggling when I said it... 8-) )

Kelly and Jimmy are going to stay out there a couple of more nights, and Tati going to stay for another week to help out her aunt...(Nobody asked her to do that, she offered to; she and Little Sister have always been close...)

Then on Saturday I get all three boys (Jimmy and his two little cousins) for the day...I think I'll take them to the Oakland Zoo...

Even though the SF Zoo is only about 12 blocks from here, they've been there a lot, and the Oakland Zoo is actually better, (they've got kiddie amusement park rides there, in addition to the animals)...and the weather will be better...

I figure a few hours running around there and they'll sleep like angels... 8-)

Well, my plan actually worked for a while...

They fell asleep quite quickly in their car seats during the ride home...

But unfortunately the ride was about an hour long, and as we approached the house, they woke up ready to run around again...

I anticipated this might happen, so I went to my back-up plan...

I took them to a McDonalds near our home, which (just by the sheerest of coincidences), happens to have one of those McDonalds Playplace contraptions where kids climb around to their heart's content...(and wearing themselves out in the process...)

And now I've got them home, and I've set up a "slumber party" deal for them in the living room, and sliced up some pineapple and mango , and put Toy Story 3 on the telly...

(And the four year old is asleep, and Jimmy and his older cousin don't look like they'll be far behind... :ok )

Time for your second anchovy pizza of the week. A reward for a job well done!
