Have to do two jobs today. Not sure trading four hours of work for an undisclosed amount it a good idea, but they want me to go to the woodyard and install something, so I am off to that after I leave here. I am hoping it will not take long but then I lose out on the hours I would have worked here, so maybe I will have to stretch it out somehow. I could always lie, I suppose.
Let's see where we left off on the kid tales, or puppy leavings, or whatever it is that passes for entertainment these days.
William finally blew up and may not go to school anymore. I think he went today, but I am thinking he might have just pretended to go. Juanita and I had to leave early for some reason and the kids were not up when we left so there is no one there to tell him to go to school. We had to leave early because Juanita is going to spend the day at the hospital tending to Anna. More on that in a minute. We left at 6 so I could drop her off and then get to work by 8. I didn't get here until 8:30, so I have to leave at 12 for the other job and will only get 3:30 hours in here. Not that I mind, I am kind of tired of doing this work but then again, I am tired of doing any work. I am just tired. I think I might have mentioned it.
Anna is in the hospital having an operation. I think they are removing her gall bladder. I have no idea why or what it means but she also has a cist somewhere that they are going to remove at the same time. I would appear it is about a four-hour operation. Juanita is at the hospital as her mother, Angie, has not yet made an appearance. But that was an hour ago, so she might be there now. The story would be that I heard Anna leaving two nights ago at around mid-night. I heard a car pick her up. We did not know why she had left. It turns out, she was having pains, and had been for a few days, so she called her mother to come pick her up and take her to the hospital. I will not even think about why she did not ask us to take her, but she didn't. Maybe it was the argument Juanita and her had earlier. Maybe not, I don't know. Would have been nice to know either way. It wasn't until Juanita was in the hospital the next day for an appointment that Angie called and said Anna was in the same hospital and was scheduled for surgery the next day. Surprising in a number of ways. First, we didn't know anything was wrong with Anna, second, why didn't she ask us, and third, why did it take so long to tell us anything. I've gotten used to this family, so I am not surprised. But who am I to speak with my relationship with my family. But we won't go into that.
Let's change to the tale of William. He has gotten pretty strange with his reasons for not going to school. The one that set him off was that there are too many mosquitoes at school. He was arguing with his mother and she decided it was a good time to get upset about it and yelled at him for speaking to her incorrectly. I will not go into that at this time, if ever. William got mad, she got mad, William left for a walk and didn't come back until the afternoon. Juanita spent some time driving around looking for him. I said it was not like he could go anywhere so he would eventually return. She came home and went to bed. William eventually came back. They didn't talk. Not they are sort of talking and it would appear the immediate crisis is over. The tale of William going to school anymore is yet to be written.
Maeghan is getting overwhelmed with homework, or assignments she doesn't necessarily have to do them at home. She is behind in her projects, and I am not sure when she will catch up. I don't think she has been late with anything, but she has turned some in that were not finished. I think she has failed a couple of tests lately, also, but she says she gets to take a makeup test and it doesn't matter as she always passes the makeup test. She has been doing some other things instead of working on her projects. Things like building complex models and doing some Lego crafts. I don't know if it a motivational thing or if she is just tired of doing it. Class only goes for another couple of weeks, then she will get a long break until she has to start working at the childcare. No more classes but she will still have assignments, so she needs to make sure she is getting them done on time. Once again, I have no idea who this stuff works so I am not really any help to her.
Which brings me to something that has no business being in here but I need to tell it somewhere and having hinted at it and talked about it somewhat in here anyway, I will proceed with telling a nasty tale of intrigue and suspense. Actually, none of that but it should not be in here anyway. Someone might read this someday and worry about me. I don't want that. And to immediately go off on a tangent, I was typing and then nothing was appearing on the screen. I know I was typing so there might be some strange characters on the screen somewhere. I would think it would show up as a misspelled work, but I don't see any. If you find out where the things I was typing went in the entry, let me know and I will immediately continue to ignore them.
With that little distraction, I forget what I was going to say and since it says here that it does not belong in here, I have fulfilled my task of not putting it in here. I feel accomplished all the sudden. I should end this now before I remember but there were a couple of things left to say.
William wants to spend the rest of his money on Christmas shopping this weekend. He has mostly spent it on food and drinks. Juanita mentioned it to him and now he has decided he will buy Christmas presents. I think he is down to only a couple of hundred dollars now so maybe it is a good idea, although he should have saved some of it, which he didn't. Both he and Juanita think he will continue to work with me, but I have repeatedly told them I do not normally get those types of jobs, so he should be looking somewhere else. I actually do have a job that he could do but it is only a one-person job and I need the money. I have another one next week that I have seriously considered turning down but while he might be able to do it, he would not have any backup and have to do it on his own and since I am in charge of it, I would have to teach him and that would require both of us to be there and they are only paying for one, so it is me again. Although, it requires going up on a ladder about 20 meters in the air and I am not really looking forward to that. I might just pass on it but since I have already accepted, it is probably too late.
I have noticed it is 9:30 now and I am only here for a short time, so I will be ending this. Not that I had a lot more to add but I am good at rambling on. Plus, I am thinking about before and I really don't want to go down that route. I will but it down to being influenced in another way and take the hint to go away and stop typing.
Remember
It will all be ok in the end, and if it’s not ok, then it’s not the end.
Until next time,
Later
