October 6, 2009

Dear Jeremiah,

Its Tuesday morning. Mike is at his first day of orientation. He texted me a little bit ago, saying that he just did his UA and is going in to have his physical. Today was my first day to wake the littles up and take them to their mom’s. I was 43 minutes late to work. Haha. Everything was going fine until I checked their diaper bag and discovered that BooBoo had almost no formula and Bear only had a few diapers. So I was looking around to see if there was more somewhere else. Nope. Mike called me while I was doing this and informed me that that was all they had. So I ended up having to go to the store with the boys in tow, to get the needed supplies. Then of course I get stuck behind idiots driving 15 miles under the speed limit. Argh! Mike should have said something last night about them needing stuff. I can’t read his mind. Formula is expensive by the way. It cost $15 for one can and it only last for something like 2.5 days. Hopefully tomorrow, things go more smoothly and we will get a routine established. I’m afraid that one morning I’ll forget to take them. Lol. I never told anyone this, in fact I completely forgot about it until just now. Your father, aka sperm donor, wanted to give Mike up for adoption to this couple he knew at the time. Mike was about the same age as BooBoo is now. I probably would have left him a lot sooner but I wanted to have you. I didn’t want Mike growing up an only child and there were no guarantees that I would have the chance to have another kid in the future. So there you go. See women plan these things out. I was determined to have you two. And I wanted to have kids young. I didn’t want to wait around for some guy to love me. I know full well what I look like, even then. I didn’t want to end up not having babies because of restrictions on my life. So I have you and Mike, best 2 things that I ever did. Good thing to because Wes can’t make babies and the treatment to do it artificial is so expensive. So, no regrets on the matter, ever. Sure it wasn’t always easy, but it wasn’t ever impossible. It would have been nice to have more money, but you guys always had food to eat and clothes to wear. That’s all I have to say about that. Hey I forgot to tell you that the barn on the way to HD came down. The silo is still up. I was kinda sad about it because they didn’t let if fall on its own. A couple of tractors knocked it to the ground. The new Winco has a roof on it now and the parking lot in front of it is paved. There were trees waiting to get planted off to the side. I’m pretty sure that something else will be built in the area in front once they widened the road a bit. Like fast food, mostly like a hamburger place like Wendy’s and a taco bell along with some smaller stores or shops. Yakima is like that for me. Its familiar but at the same time so different now then when we left it 12 years ago. Pen just died on me. I managed to make it again to the dog park last night, Wes went too. We got there about 6:30. there were about 3 other dogs there, everyone behaved good, yeah! So I did some serious ball chucking to make sure all the tongues got ran out before we had to leave. Dog park hours are only daylight hours. So we were only there for about 45 minutes before we had to leave. So they have gotten to o 3 days in a row. Come winter they will only be able to go on the weekends. Sun sets too early to go after work. Well I had better get started on this apartment so I can stay ahead. I’m not expecting a letter today since it is Tuesday. So I’m looking forward to tomorrow and see what the letter carrier brings. I love you and take care of yourself. Watch out for your mates. Miss you. Love Mom.
