Saturday March 23

KR gets up early and goes surfing.  He called and said Kurt should come down, surf is good.  Took Kurt half hour to get his act together, I think he went to bed at 12, and finally went down.  I went to the farmers market, got scraps, went to foster chicken, glad they are still there.  The jungle gym was been dismantled, and I gave them a bunch of lettuce.  Then to Sams for chicken, milk, bananas, etc.  Costco gas.  The Prius with the 11 gallon bladder for gas tank, at 320 miles and blinking gas light took only 8.5 gallons, so really should be able to drive another 50 miles at least.  I should try to drive around with a gallon of gas and see if I can get 400 miles per tank.

Came home and did laundry, and went to mom's and then they came home.  I went for a swim and a little jacuzzi, seems to help my back a lot.  KR went on a walk with the dog and Kurt went back to surf.  He actually got the smog thing done yesterday and got oil changed this afternoon.  I cooked the roast and we had a great dinner.  Kurt had wanted to go slack lining with Ben but came home for dinner.  He is now watching "Monster Truck" with dad.  That is one weird show, must be a man thing to be able to watch giant trucks jump berms and flip and rotate and guess at the points.  Not me

Tomorrow is Easter, happy resurrection Jesus

Good Friday

Suppose to be an interesting day that Good Friday and Annunciation Day both fall on March 25.  I couldn't get up this morning, had some kind of weird dream.  Went over to mom's to drop off stuff and stopped to see Rita, realizing that I forgot to go take my car in for the recall airbag.  Went home and came back to the garage, got the van and drove to Scott Robinson Honda.  I had to walk part way home my hip was hurting me, the right side.

After I got home, KR came home and we ate a bit and went to the church service at noon.  It was very interesting.  I think I can never give up any of my sons to be sacrificed and GOD did it for us.

After the service, Kurt and I went to the phone store.  Said his phone just quit working last night when he was out with Ben, slack lining at Del Portola Park, by the Ralphs on Rolling Hills Road.  KR said they smoked a lot of dope as his eyes were just blood shot when he got home.  I had gone to bed already.

Well, the phone was just fine,  Just needed to be shut down for a bit.  I was very relieved as it is a new phone, bought only around October.  KR took Gracie for a walk and I went riding around a bit, cooked some mashed potatoes and short ribs, and then jacuzzi at moms as my back was sore.  I brought mom and dad back for dinner, and mom loved all the food.  Kurt has been working at mom's and i have been paying him 10 bucks an hour.  Mom loves having him around.  We also made Kurt bleaching splints so he is getting his teeth whiter.

I will miss him when he leaves on Sunday

Another One Home

So one leaves and another one comes home.

Will left Sunday morning, and Kurt came home the night before on the BoltBus.

Tyler called Kurt yesterday asking for money, so I called him back and asked him if he would like some help with his phone bill.  He now has a new number, a 424 number and the 985 one from New Orleans is no more.  The kid is now in Nebraska and said that he is moving to Oregon with Nenna, his girlfriend, in June.  Sigh

Kurt went surfing with Ben this morning and then had lunch with Bobs.  He also went to the office for a bleaching splint impression.  His teeth are very yellow, so I thought he should have it done and he was amenable.

I had to get the paperwork needed for Brandon from Dr Lee so I drove to Jade Bakery and bought them a bunch of stuff, as I had been there several times this week, and asking for all kinds of forms.

We have continue education tonight at the Double Tree.  It is also Eddie C's birthday celebration so I made a bunch of lemon muffins and have to be there by 6 45 to celebrate, and then go back to the CE.

On Monday I volunteered at Parras Middle School, screening all the 6-7-8 grade kids using this 6 point scale to see if the kids need to see a dentist, etc.  It is through South Bay Children's Dental Clinic.  KR and I volunteered there a couple of weeks ago and worked on a bunch of kids, free of charge.  Give a Kid a Smile , or something like that.

Life if so busy, and I know it will change.  Tomorrow is Good Friday and we are going to the 12 oclock service.  Kurt has been working at grandma's watching them from 5-7 30 to make 10 bucks an hour.  Grandma loves to have him around.

Transition

So one son leaves and one arrives.

Will left this morning at 4 am for a flight to JFK and Kurt arrived last night via BoltBus to Union Station.  Andrew drove Will to Phillipe's Downtown and KR and I drove up to meet them, with Ryan and Kurt walking from Union Station to the restaurant.

Tonight, Sunday, we had dinner at Baja Fish Grill again, with Kurt driving from the Cove after he went surfing.  After dinner, we went to Mongolian Little Sheep Hot Pot on PCH and met Daniel Shen's parents who are here on vacation from Sacramento, and the kids, Daniel and his little brother are going to Disneyland tomorrow.  Kurt might go, and Ryan wants to go but something about Reza won't let him as they are going to Cancun on Tuesday.

Lovely can blog everyday, and I should too, as so many events are flying by, and some are actually news worthy.  Such as, Cotty died last night.  So sad that that lovable dog passed.  Diane called me this morning, and I missed the call, so I called her back and she said Cotty was not well, she rushed him to ER and they think there was a tumor that burst or something as he had an abdominal bleeding and she decided not to do surgery as he was 12.

She came by today and we had tea and I gave her the greens for her hens and rabbit.  Adam went back to school, and Eliot and Seth went to college tour and she is flying out on Wednesday to join Seth.

Will's week consisted of playing video game, watching TV, being on his phone and driving me nuts. We are considering not having him here if he continues to behave like that.  Here is a list of things:
No food in room
Take out trash
Take out compost
Don't leave dishes everywhere
Put TV back to same station when done, and turn it OFF
Close piano when done
Don't leave a mess on the floor, I am NOT the maid
Be considerate, tell us when you are leaving and coming
Lock up when you leave
Help around the house.....

Well, they are suppose to be adults, and yet do not behave like one

I chewed Kurt out as he was just a little jerk, thinking I was too hard on him

Natasha and Pete's anniversary is tomorrow......
