So my eBay stuff isn’t going. I am not surprised, but I am disappointed. I really could have used that money.
Today was an odd sort o day.
My dad came over tonight to visit, which is always nice. I love my dad, but I have always been a “daddy’s girl” I suppose. We had a nice chat. I am getting a chunk of change from him from his taxes (he claimed the boys this year b/c of their health insurance, and he is giving us part of his refund for them.) He is also giving us some cash from Erin’s life insurance. I feel very wrong in taking even the little bit we are getting, but it is going to pay for our airfare up for her unveiling….. so is it still awful to take it? I mean, I know it isn’t awful in and of itself, I just feel that I am not entitled to any of it, I suppose. I parented her for years, but I was not her parent. I don’t know. It’s a jumble in my head.
He said he was going to go home and look depressed before mom got home. She ahs been spending a ton of time at the synagogue since Erin died, and slightly before as well, if I remember correctly. Dad said he was going to accuse her of joining a religious cult, that way he doesn’t have to pay alimony. Yes, he is kidding. I love his sense of humour. I better, I got it from him *laughs* But she seriously is spending so much time there. She spent the night last night, it was Shabbatone (I may have spelled that wrong, maybe it is two words, Shabbat-Tone?). She dropped the twins off at home early this morning, and picked them back up around 3 to go back. She should be home soon. I guess if she finds comfort in it, but I feel bad for my dad. He does not go to synagogue unless he absolutely has to. He doe snot find comfort in it. I hope he finds comfort in something. I spent a lot of time with him before and after her death. I think my mom should have been the one to do so. I still try to get him to come over more often, so he isn’t just sitting in his room, but he usually says no. I was glad he accepted my offer tonight.
Malachai has a nasty looking cut on his finger from a soda can. He got into the recycle bag. It isn’t infected, but it is on the inside of his pinky finger (who named the fingers, by the way??) and that spot isn’t exactly prone to a) keeping on band aids or b) not getting stuff on/in it.
I picked up the Hylands Kids Kit from Whole Foods. It’s a homeopathic med kit. Fantastic little thing to have in the house. I am pleased with it so far. Chai has both bottom molars coming in, so he is a miserable little wretch. Gave him some Chamo
milla & Belladonna and he was a happy little nursling again. I know, you al think I’m nuts, and that it is all in my head. And I fully admit that it might be in my head when I use the remedies on me, but the boys don’t know what it is/what it’s for, and it works almost instantaneously, so who knows.
So yah. That’s whats up.
