Sunday

Today is the day my oldest sister flies to TX to take care of my dad's cremation. I don't envy her that task. As much as I don't get along with her she is probably the only one of us girls that had the means and want to take care of this. I'm glad that one of my dad's daughters will be there with him to say good bye.

On to other things.

My oldest son has decided that he wants to get black contacts that cover his whole eye. That includes the whites. He (and I) have seen this before on the program Supernatural. The demons in the show look at you with normal eyes then blink and their whole eye is black. I guess that he wants to be some sort of demon. He would like to have the contacts before he goes back to school in September so on the first day of school he can stand outside the school and tell the freshmen coming into the High School for the first day "Welcome to Hell". His words not mine. He was talking to a friend last night after I went to be telling them that he was also thinking of tattooing his whole eye black. Not a good idea if you ever want to have a decent job in your life. At least with contacts you can take them out and have a normal work life. I probably should be going along with getting him the contacts but hey they are cool and would look cool. I just have to come up with the money to pay for them. I'll only do it once that's for sure. If, after they wear out, my son wants new ones he's on his own.

He also mentioned he wants to get his canine teeth lengthened like a vampire's but I told him it would take quite a bit of money to do that. He also said something about getting his tongue split in half and when I said that I didn't think any doctor would do that he informed me that some tattoo places will do it but they have to be careful because there is a major blood vessel running through the tongue and if they even nick that it's bye-bye for life. I am trying to talk him out of having that done. As hard as I can I'm trying to talk him out of that.

My youngest son was here yesterday as well as the oldest. One of them was on my computer the whole time the youngest was here and at some point during the day one of them (the oldest blames the youngest) broke off the R key. I can still use the R but their is no flat spot. Now there is this pointy soft plastic piece where the key should be and it's driving me crazy. I'm actually using a friends laptop as mine was stolen on the train ride home so I guess I have to pay to replace the keyboard. I hope it won't cost me to much money to do it. There is a very good computer repair place in the center of town so I guess I had better take it down there and see how much it will cost me to fix this. My computer was about 4 years old and I had the keyboard, hard drive and mouse pad replaced on it. I paid half as much for the repairs as I did for the computer. Go figure. For what I paid to have my computer fixed I could have probably gotten an inexpensive replacement. Now I have to get a new computer and I'm not sure how or where I'm coming up with the money for that. I may not pay my cable bill next month so I'll have the money for it. Thank goodness for renter's insurance because they are paying a portion for it as well. Once I get one then I can submit the receipt and get some more money back, then I can pay the cable bill.

Well all is quiet here now that the kids are gone. I'm looking forward to getting back into my normal routine. I may even be having my home health aide here tomorrow. That will be nice as there are a lot of things I can't do like vacuuming. I'm going to do most of the dishes later today so when my HHA comes tomorrow there won't be 2 dish drainer full of dishes to do. I have to re-wash the dishes in the drainer now so they don't feel so greasy. I love Mike but he can't wash dishes to my standard. They are pretty high so I don't think to many people can wash them to my standards. Sorry Mike. Just getting home was great but getting back to doing the things I normally do day to day will be a plus. I have a lot of things to do tonight so I had better get started.
