Happy Patriots Day J

I feel kinda bad because I didn’t get a chance to write you a letter yesterday. Mike had this whole baby Mama drama going on. Ann got a three day notice to pay or vacate yesterday cause she hasn’t paid rent yet this month. It just really a late notice, the vacate part is a scare tactic to make tenants cough up rent. But I guess Ann don’t go no money and is vacating, but don’t know where to yet. So Mike went and said that he’s taking the boys until Ann can figure her shit out. For a week at least. So Nicole and Brian came over last night and helped Mike clear out the down stairs bedroom so he and the boys can have the room. I told him anyways that he can use it if he gets if all cleared out and stuff. I just need the closet for dog stuff. So today he went and got the boys or as I like to call them Bear and BooBoo. I guess we will see what happens. If she isn’t ready in a week then Mike needs to go to DSHS and apply for the Aide that Ann is getting. Cause he is going to need it for the boys. And if Bear and BooBoo aren’t in Ann’s care, she shouldn’t be receiving assistance for them anyways. We already told Mike that we would help out if it ever comes down to this. I know it pisses you off and shit, but Mike loves Bear and BooBoo and thinks he needs to look out for them. That’s his decision and we’ll support his decision to be a Dad to the boys. Nobody’s perfect. I had to live with Grandma for many years when you guys were little and I couldn’t take care of you on my own. James and Kelin moved back with grandma, as did Tammy and Tony, Shirley and Paul. You just gotta do what you gotta do, accept it and go on and try to improve your situation. Hell even Grandma and us kids lived with Great Grandma and Grandpa for several months after she left my father. So anyways, enough said. I didn’t get a letter yesterday like I was hoping. I know that it’s strange that we don’t get one everyday from each other. They said on the news that Saturday mail service may become a thing of the past. With email the postal service isn’t making money like it used to do. I bet. Though I think that their revenue may have increased a bit since you left for boot camp. Lol J. It’s warm here again today but it’s a little breezy. So the air feels good at least. Shirley’s farmer’s almanac says rains going to start on the 15th and just plain keep raining for a while. She is putting up the rest of the siding today with Sam’s help and is planning to start painting ASAP. She will worry about the trim later. Right now is it more important to get everything sealed up. A puppy went home this morning. Another one tomorrow. Then the rest next weekend. Then it’s dog park time! Yeah! I’m so ready to return to the dog park. I think you know how much. When you get leave, we’ll go everyday! We got to be very careful with the rest of the puppy money so that is last till we have more. It will be a little easier next year. I’ll have a larger paycheck cause I won’t be covering your insurance. When you can have your phone back I would really like it if you started paying for it again and will turn on the multimedia if you cover that also. Then you could send pics to my email. That would be awesome and cool. I could send you stuff too. Well I better get back to work. I replaced a water heater this morning and have a little more to do in this apartment. I sure hope your enjoying white phase better that red phase. I always look forward to hearing about it and stuff. I miss you like crazy and I love you. Give Smith a 5 high from me. I’d send a hug but am sure that would be most awkward. Lol Anywho.

Love Always
Mom
