Here I set. alone in a HUGE house...and feeling very peaceful. The house that Cameron shares with five other marines is amazing. I was hesitant at first because it has a bar, and a pool table with "odd" decorations hanging from the light fixture.I is clearly a house where young men are working hard to prove their "manhood", but it is very clean and lovely. The laundry room is larger and prettier than my living room. You could fit four of my kitchens in this kitchen. It is just a very nice house.
Last night I cooked for the whole crew. It was nothing fancy, Taco soup, salad and brownies and you would have thought they were eating at the Ritz! They were so appreciative and courteous. The only time I have even heard a curse word was the first night when we were in Cam's room with the door closed and they didn't know we were there, and they were drinking...
Last night they offered to "adopt me" that is pay me whatever I make at home plus benefits,( but I would have to leave my husband ...and other children..) if I would stay and cook for them.....So funny!
Today it is overcast. Cam had to go in for some training, Scott took him, and he and Chelsea are going exploring while they wait for Cam. Then they have to pick up another load from Cam's old apartment (whatever Melinda left behind) so it looks like our outing to Coronado will have to wait for another trip.
Speaking of Melinda...the saga goes on. Cam let her go through the paperwork file and didn't watch her. closely .(dumb...dumb) apparentlyn she lifted the power of attorney paperwork( why he hadn't shredded it ????) and the Seaworld tickets he had purchased with his Military Discount for Wednesday. Consequently she cost us more drama...and cost me almost $300. to get us into Seaworld without the discount. I am still waiting for her choices to catch up with her..I know I need to be forgiving...but like the two other people I struggle with, she just keeps re-offending... I'd better not die before I can repent of this one too.....
Being here...seeing other kids makes me wish Ian and Connor were here too. I would love to do the beaches with them and have had them with us when we were five feet away from twenty wild seals yesterday....sigh.....But I have my sun fix....and that makes me happy!
