5-11-2010 Grandpa visits

Well today is tuesday, I had talked to my dad about having a scanner, I want to take some old photos and digitize them, he found it and is bringing it over tonight. I figure as long as he's coming over might as well have dinner. Well Meeka was a little shy at first but then warmed up to him, wanted to show him all her cool stuff, got on his lap showed off her book, her stickers and her building blocks. It was really cute, Unfortunately the scanner didn't work with out computer, but dad got some good spaghetti dinner and dessert afterwards. Then after we put Meeka down we played some wii sports. We had a lot of fun, the wii is pretty fun when you have a few people to play it with. Nixon wants to get the bar games one where there is darts and pool and other things, maybe later. Right now I'm just concerned with paying off all our credit cards. It seems like as soon as we get one paid off something comes up that we need to use it, example my stupid car. I feel like I can't ever get a step ahead of the game. I wish it were that easy. I would love to start planning for baby #2 but I'm sure that once I'm pregnant there will be plenty of time exactly 9 months. little steps like getting sizzles trained will be our saving grace. If he's not trained and we bring another one into the mix I think that's just a recipe for disaster. My brother also called and said that he's found an apt that he likes out in Mound. He needs to go fill out the credit check and references so hopefully he'll pass and finally get out of living with my dad. I honestly think that is the best thing for him. It's not healthy for either one of them to be there. Jeremy needs to grow up, get his own place and be concerned with his own life and let my dad be on his own. THink of himself first for a change and what he wants and needs from his own life. My dad just needs to be on his own, I think only then will he finally maybe realize how important family is when he's by himself. I've been really working with Meeka also lately with her numbers and letters. I don't want her to be slow when it comes to those things. She still doesn't say a lot of words which scares me but that's o.k. I guess. Well that's it for now
