Party Day

Well, today is the day of the big pool party! Wyatt has been counting the minutes. : ) We went for dinner at a "noodle house" last night and we all felt a little odd being the only english speaking people in the place. The food was good and as I kept telling the family, we were creating a memory. Wyatt agreed, but noted that it would be a wierd memory.
Wyatt got his birthday present from Jack. It was a money order for a HUNDRED dollars that JACK endorsed. What an ass. When I called to tell him it had arrived in the mail but we would be unable to cash it, he replied...."you know I aint to smart". OMG.
Lord do I know that's true. Anywho, I'm not putting up the money for him, he will have to send a new money order. Really, who gives an eight year old a hundred dollars for his birthday.

Grammy and GK had a good night last night. Both slept well and GK's joint pain seems to be getting better. He's getting the gout in his finger again, but after what he's been through, I think he'd rather have the gout. When I went over this a.m he was quick to tell me Britney Spears had shaved her head for some tattoos. He was so dissapointed and believes she is doing all of this to keep up with the Hilton sisters. I for one think she did it to focus some of the Anna Nicole news back on herself. Of course he and I are following the ANS story and we both think Howard is behind it all and keeping our fingers crossed that Larry is the true Father.

I want to remind everyone that it has been THREE months since I quit smoking. I fell off the nicotine wagon the night Mom went via AMR to the E.R, but I only had a puff or two and was reminded that I am a NON-SMOKER. It really lacked that soothing refreshment I remembered. As it turned out Mom was fine, just an adverse reaction to some medication. It was a worthwhile trip though to find that she is in otherwise very good health.

Mike woke up early this morning and started on the honey-do's right away. He was making me tired just watching him, and I was currious as to why all the energy. I figured it out later when he said he was going to town to the "fishing store", his new favorite place. Two floors of fishing meca. The closest thing to heaven on earth. He and Wyatt were there for hours last week and everyone called Wyatt Skipper. So Wyatt got an unexpected monicker and Mike's fishing fantasy's were fufilled. Unfortunetly the river was to high to fish today so he spent his evening tying hooks to ready himself for the big day. He has all the maps, hat's, vests, rod's, reels, etc to ready quite a catch. Eeewww, yeah and did I mention the "live bait" in the fridge. Ugh it makes my skin crawl just thinking about all those albino shrimp monsters stuffed in the chineese food take home box.

I started wieght watchers today and it's already killing me. I can have 28 "points" a day and I did away with 10 points between a banana and a bowl of top ramen. I havent even had cake yet. : ( I think we will have to stop by the grocery store on the way home to pick up some resonable food for me to eat. Our cupboards are like food land mines. When I start to add up the points, it's easy to see how a person gains weight.
