ANOTHER DAY at THE OFICE

MONDAY, MAY 10, 2010 This morning Corey called and said that Jayden has a cold and is coughing up stuff and asked if I wouldn’t mind staying with him. Stacey went in to work early and was supposed to get off at two. On Mondays, school gets out at two thirty so chances were I would have to pick Bailey up too. Not only did Stacey get delayed getting off, thanks to Corey and Greg giving her a project at the last minute but it started raining and hailing badly and it’s a good thing Bailey didn’t have to walk home. Jayden lay on Corey’s side of his and Stacey’s bed watching cartoons. I lay down on the other side and listened to him describe in detail the cartoons we were watching and also Iron Man II. I am amazed at how well he can describe things and events. I am nowhere near that good at it. In fact I am a total dunce when it comes to stuff like that. He has shown that over and over again to me. Bailey is right behind him in that area. Yesterday, they and their cousins on Stacey’s side of the family went to Wayne’s for Mother’s Day and on to the cemetery to put flowers on Ginnie’s grave. After that, Wayne took them all to see Iron Man II. As I was driving to Corey’s to be with Jayden I passed an alfalfa field that had two adult and about ten, one year-old; or maybe this years crop of antelope in it. I thought it strange that their mother’s weren’t with them. Maybe that is the way antelope do things. Also as I was driving to Corey’s, Alexa called and asked if I knew Mickey Mouse’s phone number. She wants to invite him to her birthday party. She will be four soon.
