October 15th, 2009

Dear Jeremiah,

Well it’s Thursday again, goes fast sometimes. Yeah it’s payday for me and you. Mine is gone. I paid the mortgage. Bye Bye. =) Its about 4pm. I’m starving, by the time I get home I won’t be hungry. Never fails. I just got finished in J201, another eviction. I’m trapped in here though because scarecrow is power washing outside on the stairs. These guys had left behind a bunch of crap. So Joseph hired the guys to come back and trash it out for us. Isn’t that wonderful? Remember all the times I’ve had to trash out a unit, most of the time by myself? I’m kinda pissed at Ann today because last weekend I finally get the boy’s rash cleared up and now it’s back again. Bear has a pretty bad area along the diaper line that was so bad last night when I changed him that it looked like blisters. This morning it was looking better. It’s not hard to prevent it. Just change the freaking diapers. I know it hurts him cause he cries and tries to get away when I clean him. Poor guy, the diaper gotta be rubbing the area anytime he moves. Last night when I picked up the boys, Ann was all made up and hair done. Then later when I was talking to Mike on the phone, he said that Ann was going out with friends and I said yeah she’s going out. She has on tons of make up and her hair all straightened out like she spent hours getting ready. Mike said she had a date with some guy. And was pissed cause she has been like all the passed week talking about wanting to get back together and stuff. Mike doesn’t want her to know that he kinda likes this other chick. Cause she will flip out mental. He shouldn’t be talking to her anyways unless it’s about the boys. Their personal lives are now their own. I just wish Mike would take a longer break before getting involved with someone new ya know? Let stuff settle down a bit with the new job and taking care of the boys. I don’t know why Mike always has to be with someone. Do you think he’s afraid to end up alone? I don’t know. When I talked to him earlier today he had made his drop in Billings MT and was headed to a small town in Wyoming to pick up their next load to take to Salt Lake City UT. He said that they maybe going to Columbus OH next. Just back and forth up and down. I wonder if he’ll forget where he is someday. =) I was thinking about taking the boys over to G&G’s tonight but I think I’ll just take them home and let them play in the bath tub until they are nice and wrinkly =) When you put Booboo in the tub you have to be all slow and quiet or else he gets all scared. But quietly put in means that he’s all relaxed and will lay in the water and kick his legs and splash water a bit and have fun. If he’s put in crying he won’t relax and the echoing noise that he makes, make him make more. Not as fun. I got Bear down to one bottle a night which means he don’t pee threw his diaper. Also I’m not letting him drink it in the car or pretty much anywhere else. He can drink out of a cup just fine. I’m still aiming to have him off it next weekend. It is really just a source of comfort for him. So I just give him another comfort. I give him lots of hugs and kisses, hold him and tell him I love you. Let him sit next to me with my arm around him when we watch tv together. So he knows he is secure. I gotta get some Dr. Seuss books. I gotta go buy diapers tonight so I’ll have to see if I can find a couple old favorites. Oh and I need to dig thru Mike’s room and find Mike’s old bear. He showed it to me awhile back so I know that it’s in there. Well I gotta get my trash thrown into the compactor and make some key packets. Take care of yourself. Hope your having a good week nine. I love you and miss you. Love Mom.
