Spent time with the kids
Dear Debra:
Good Morning! I have my letter dated the 25th still in my bag to be mailed. I posted it to my blogs but forgot to prepare it to get mailed.
Last night was dinner with Liz and Nelson and Jason and Audrey. We met at Sonic after 6. It was not the best meal and a lot of it was agitating. Not only from the family stand point but the service. There were previous customers who kept interrupting us.
Liz felt like she was being criticized for being “childish” when she was trying to blow the straw “casing” to Audrey. Well quite frankly she needs to grow up. I get the feeling she has this need to vie for their attention all the time. She does it to all the grandkids. I sometimes wonder when she is out with her friends in restaurants and she behaves like an obnoxious and rude person if they say anything or not.
On more than one occasion she had to urge Jason to speak to me when I asked him questions. I don’t have the energy for that crap. He is the oldest of the two of them and Audrey seems like she is the more mature one.
I also think Nelson was getting anxious or something because he wasn’t pleased with the service either or the food. We probably would have done better at Pop’s or Golden Corral. I actually compounded the problem of the food with an extra shake. Later on I thought i was going to have stomach problems.
We left sometime around 7:30. IT was raining on and off and I was really glad to be going home. I wasn’t feeling well and I wanted to watch TV for a little while longer before going to bed.
The kids will be here until SUnday so I have an opportunity to see Jen and Chris and Sophie in the next few days-I hope. I am going to ask Kari if she saw the baby yet. She is currently kind of busy working
I have to tell you I have been looking online for proper restaurant etiquette especially for loud and obnoxious people. There are tips and recommendations and observations (that range from “can’t be helped to speak to the offending people).
I am meeting with my Niece Diane after work. SHe is interested in some of the dining room settings (china mostly) and anything else i can give away. I still don’t know how she is going to carry this crap home to NYC. She is having a friend with her so hopefully they will help but I have not prepared anything for her to carry stuff in (some of it is already in bags and crates).
Her brother Rob took off for Alaska to visit their other brother John and his family. Rob posted a picture of the family pet sleeping at 10 pm and the sun is shining. I don’t know how i would be able to do that.
As I mentioned I wasn’t feeling great the other day and it began with my hip starting to hurt sometime late Monday night. I am not sure what set it off the exercises or the weather. I did end up taking tylenol but i probably could take flexjoint supplements. It hurts. I may have to skip the gym after all today.
Well the 4th District heard from SCOTTB who officially resigned from the committee as he announced his moving to RI. He thanked everyone for their friendship and support. In a private email that he sent me he also thanked me for being good to his two sons. Phil sent me a note saying to remove him from the lists. I had a feeling he thought I said something to him so I had to reassure him I didn’t.
Well I better close out as i am getting really distracted by different things and I don’t want to mess up on anything more today. As it is turning into a long day.
Take Care.
