Good Tuesday, MyBloggerstown;
Well, it's gonna rain shit or something. Actually talked with Jethrene Sunday night and she actually conversed for more than ten minutes without asking about money or blowing me off. She has secured a job with the accounting firm that handles her parents taxes and is thrilled and excited. Shitstick has secured a position in the challenging world of the Italian cuisine delivery industry(i.e. schlepping pizzas for a nationally known pizza chain...no not that one, the other one). She sez they are gonna continue to live with her mama and daddy until after Christmas during which time they are gonna try and save for a place of thier own. Actually, that's one of the more sensible idears she's had lately. So I hear the kids running around in the backround and ask if I can talk to them. Jethrene sez: "Nah, its too close to bedtime and I don't want to excite them". Strange, last time I asked to talk to them it was too close to dinnertime and she didn't want to excite them. Time before that they were taking a nap...time before that they were out playing. Mebee I'm being paranoid but I am sensing a pattern here. So then, I asked for some pictures and she said "as soon as we get some batteries for the digital camera." I sighed and ask for some of their artwork to hang on my ice box. "Oh, they really don't draw much." Daisy May drew all the time when she was here and Jethro was catching on fast. They must've gravitated to other interests. I don't know why I expected anything but this sort of behavior from Jethrene. She did grow up in my fam damily where this is sort of disrespectful callous attitude toward me is expected and encouraged. Never mind that I was always there for her, always willing to do things that I was not physically well enough to do, and nearly bankrupt myself on her and the kid's behalf. Well, that's that, I guess. Jethro's third birthday is coming up next month. If Jethrene thinks I'm stupid enough, and love that child enough to send anything............she's absolutly right. As my old friend Tony Soprano always sez, whaddaya gonn do?
Have a good week, everyone
