Love you guys miss you both...

Remember those you love...

Well 7 years ago my Grandmother passed away on my birthday. She was buried in a city about 2 hours from where i live. Every year since then I have taken my mom to visit the grave site on either the weekend before my birthday or after. I have always gone with Dianna, Thomas and David too up until tomorrow... I will be going with just Thomas and my mom. David does not travel well for long distances so Dianna thinks it will be better without him and he sort of needs some one to care for him...

It was such a weird time 7 years ago, Dianna and I were only married less then a year and I got a phone call at 5am or so saying she had passed away. She suffered a massive stroke and had made arrangements with my mom to not have machines keep her alive as well as a DNR request. It was sad to see her go... Sad she never got to see my boys...

Last year Thomas was asking who we were visiting and I told him my Grandma and my Grandpa. While at my Grandmother's grave he asked why he never got to meet her I explained to him that he wasn't born yet when she passed away. He just stared at the stone and said, "I guess it's my fault I didn't get to meet her then because I wasn't quick enough being born." It was cute to hear his comment but sad that he thought it was his fault.

Been a week now of working part time from home

It's a little harder than I expected it certainly does take some discipline to do it but I seem to be getting the hang of it. It is always a distraction to go do housework or sit and play with Thomas but as long as I have a fun lunch with him I seem to be OK and can manage to get some work done in the afternoon. I really have to give credit to those parents that do work from home all the time it certainly isn't the easiest thing I have come across. I especially feel bad that I take Thomas straight home after school he has friends that so want to play with him and have him come over to play a little before lunch.

I think I will take a little time for him and his friend on Thursday or Friday if I can.

First Day of School

Well I dropped my boy off to school today. This was my first run at the first day of school thing. It was really weird to be honest. For so long I have always been rushing around trying to get out of the house as quick as possible. I got to sleep in today, have breakfast with my boy and just do things I don't normally get to do. It was very weird. I liked it. Makes me want to stay at home all the time and be able to pick him up all the time. It was a strange set of emotions to go through, I was proud yet sad at the same time both for the same reason, my little boy is growing up.

I will end up picking him up on Thursday and Friday this week so that will be interesting to be working from home from those days. So we will see what happens from there...
