It is hard to get on the computer when my granddaughter is here. She pesters me because she wants to be up here too. She’s napping now. Yesterday she didn’t nap, so I couldn’t get on.
Christopher has a broken foot. He tripped over one of the gates we have up to keep Lexie out of either the kitchen or the stairs. He tripped over the stairs one. I must say I was ready to break his other foot the way he screamed and cursed. You’d think he’d been run through with a broadsword! This was Tuesday, he went to the doctor Wednesday and confirmed it was broken and they gave him a walking boot to wear. I know how it hurts, I broke my toe a couple of years ago and every step was very painful, but I didn’t scream when it happened. Actually I sat on the floor crying and rocking myself back and forth. Anyhow, Chris has a hairline fracture so I guess they thought the walking boot would suffice. He went back to work today although he was quite apprehensive about it. The doctor said he should be on light duty for a few days.
I never heard again from the people at Scattergood. I’m pretty sure I didn’t get the job at this point and I got a rejection letter from another place I applied. It’s getting quite worrisome.
As usual when the kids are here the living room looks like a hurricane went through it. What a mess! It is so good to have them here though. Demetri hugged and kissed me today! Without being asked! I was beginning to think he hated me, he’s wanted nothing to do with me for the last few weeks. One day last week when he was going to the park with his dad I heard him say, “I don’t want Nana to come.” That really hurt. I love him so much but I’ve decided to stop begging for hugs and kisses. Now I just ask him to give me “five.”
On the other hand. Lexie is very loving and affectionate to me. I think she’s kind of a grandma’s girl. Richard said, “Just keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel good.” I told him, “I don’t mean that I think she likes me better than anybody, I know mom, dad, and brother come first.” But she does like to be around me and that makes me very happy.
That’s all for now.
considering you only have your grand children certain times of the day not blogging because you have them doesn’t quite seem acceptable.
I would scream and cuss too if I tripped and broke my foot. Heck, I screamed and cussed when I went sideways and strained my foot a few weeks ago…it hurt like hell and I have a high threshold for pain.
Demetri probably didn’t mean that he didn’t want you to come as much as he wanted all his Dad’s attention which he might not have if you did go. I wouldn’t take it personally. I’m glad he hugged and gave you a kiss – little boys don’t always do that as much as little girls do.
Sorry about the job – I’m sure you will find something when the time is right. Keep your chin up.
