1. The phone rang twice this morning before 7:15—-shoots my stress level WAY up. No disaster calls however….one was my mother informing us that my father had decided to go to adult daycare today…..
Yup. that’s what I said….. going. back. to. adult. daycare…..
So cross your fingers, say a prayer….WHATEVER….just send your wishes that it goes well. There’s something in all this that I find incredibly painful…..just the thought of my father thinking about this…. Of course this also means that Saint Ernie will now be bringing not only my mother, but two young boys, to the wound clinic…..ohhhh, and those are tiny little rooms…..
2. Saint Ernie, in fact, is going to be spending WAY too much time carting my parents to the doctor but I don’t know how to work around it. I can take off for some appointments but when we’re talking about seven appointments in a two week period, which is what is scheduled right now…..well, there’s just a limit as to what I can do….
3. Last night the boys’ beloved neighbor Ricky mowed their initials into his lawn….our stairway window was the perfect viewing spot.
4. Tonight I think we’re going to finally go and get Owen his glasses…nothing like waiting til the last minute, eh?
5. I have also become obsessed with getting a fire pit for our front yard. Of course when I went looking they were all out at the stores because they put them with garden stuff—–but isn’t that something you would like to have in COOL weather? Isn’t that logic somewhat flawed? Anyway, I’ve been looking online but Ernie said Meijer’s had a couple that didn’t look too bad (I found some at Menards but they were damn ugly) so we’ll go do that afterwards…
6. Of course in between then and now I have to go to work and work like crazy as we have TONS going on….off I go…..(sorry for the dull posts of late….)
I want a fire pit too! I fantasize about drinking wine wrapped in a blanket under the stars…..and yet the reality is that although we will try to create that scenario, our time will be spent yelling at the kids to stop sticking things in the firepit.

It is heart breaking thinking of Dad trying to decide what to do – whether or not to go to Circle of Friends. But it is a simple way of keeping his world from shrinking. And it does break my heart — so I am glad he decided to go one more time. Initials mowed in the lawn…I like that!

Give it 8 years and Rick will be mowing “PROM?” into some girl’s lawn. Owen and Ricky together on the dating scene could be a dangerous combination..

I’m looking forward to some cool weather here so that we can use our little firepit again. Some words of advice, though: Don’t use wood chips meant for your grill, no matter how desperate you are for a fire. After we got ours, we wanted so badly to start a fire that we resorted to using grilling wood chips. Keep in mind that in Las Vegas there aren’t many trees, and it’s not like we have sticks laying around the yard. Anyway, we had another couple over, and nobody seemed to think it was a bad idea until the “smoking chips” started smoking. It was a huge mess. So when you buy your pit, don’t forget to pick up a log or two along with it.
