Happy Birthday B

Happy Birthday B,
23 Years old today. I can't believe it. Your such a sweet man, yes man. Where in the world did the time go.

I remember having to leave you at the hospital, you were so jaundiced. Blue lights on your little body, 5lbs 13Oz's 16in long. Your were so tiny, and of course you didn't want to eat at all. All you wanted to do was sleep (some things never change) ;)

You always had the gift of gab, even at an early age. I loved to hear you try and talk yourself out trouble. You always tried very hard, and sometimes you succeeded in wearing me down. Your middle name should have been stubborn, because you sure were and still are even after 23 years.

Your independence amazed me, your favorite thing to say to me was "I can do it myself" no matter what it was. You were usually able to pull it off, your tenacity and love of life is still there, just changed slightly.

Your humour and quick wit, where in hell did it come from. I love seeing the sparkle in your brown eyes, just before your going to start something. Your infectious laugh when something strikes you funny.

Your face the first time that you saw George, what a ball of fluff he was. Seeing you give him a big hug and of course go ewww when he has drool hanging off his jowls. (yuck)

You have been going through a rough patch, handling the death of you brother, standing my me and dad. You have been my rock and sounding board on many occasions. Sometimes, i think i overburdened you , talking about the care and handling of your brother's cancer. You have no idea how much you have been able to stabilize me, after talking to you on different subjects, i needed to rethink certain things. Putting your life on hold to care and help your brother, staying in San Diego and taking him to chemo. Dealing with the difficulties with your sister in law.

I really admire the person that you become. You need to go back to school now and get your life back on track, it's your time.

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday and tell you how proud of you I am.

Gremlins

There are Gremlins afoot in my household. Come on, I know it sounds crazy. But it's true. Things missing when you know that you put them right there on the counter, shoes not where you left them. I haven't seen them yet, but they are right around the door jam waiting to disrupt my already insane life.

I walked out of the room the other day to put something away and when I came back to the kitchen to finish my coffee i found the half full cup in the sink. Now, i know that I for one would never waste coffee. So tell me how in the world did the coffe cup get in the sink?

I used the vacuum cleaner yesterday and it worked just fine, when i turned it on today it spewed dust and dirt at me. Funny that it worked fine one day and the next it turned out to be the demon from hell. The dishes that I know I did before I went to bed are sitting in the sink again. NOPE, I'M NOT CRAZY, it's those little bastards hard at work.

I know that the little bastards are laughing their furry little asses off at the pranks that they pull. Like the other day, i put down an important letter, right on the table so that i could put it in my pocket book and answer it the next morning. Can someone please tell me how it got on top of the refrigerator? I don"t put things up that high because i really can't see them up there.

I can tell that they re out there just waiting with their toothy grins for me to put something down or away. Then bam off they go with it. Sometimes i even think they follow me to work to have a really good time. CRASH goes the computer that work like a charm, now it's memory is fried.

When and if i ever see those little bastards I'll squash them into the fur balls that they are. I also know that I'm not the only one out there that has Gremlins. Just think about it the next time you say that you misplaced something, i bet that you really didn't misplace it at all.

no time

I always have things to say, just not the time to say it or blog it. It seems that there just isn't enough time to sit down formulate the words that I need to write down.

There are many things happening in and around the Scan household. Sister's hubby going for serious surgery, trying to get B moving in the right direction (after all he'll be 23 this month). Of course many other things that just need to be done or looked into.

This weather hasn't been helping at all, just makes me want to curl up in a chair and relax or read. Which of course there isn't time for that. I just need a little more time in my day, a few extra minutes.
