....back to normal

...ok...i'm pretty much back to normal........well....define "normal" lol

I got my books for class......$137! So these are keepers. Doing it at night anyways.

And finally CLUB 24 the gym I go to almost religiously.......will be open tomorrow with ALL the free weights available! Bout time I say....but those guys really did a good job putting the new building together. Nothing but the best equiptment I say, professional grade, and PLENTY of mirrors! Been missing those for a few months...he he he.

As for work....been going in early past few days including a weekend, and then working from home at night......dont recall it being this busy before.....im sure it will get back to normal......then once again...define "normal" lol Well time for family time, a very imortant time for me and kids. Till next time folks...........till next time.

What really whent wrong?

...ok...parents drove up to the re-union with my kids.......they were more than happy to do it. Well while were up there, they start thinking strange things........I wont get too in depth, but basically they felt they were "uninvited" for the main re-union itself??!! I dont see how since they knew about it before I did, once they were at the re-union wich was mainly focused around all of us and our parents being there.....sooo....4 brothers and parents...etc.........get my point? The main reason for the re-union was to get me and my 3 brothers together in the same place with my mom and dad. So for my parents to think they were not invited??....just doesnt make sense.

Anyhow so that night whent fine......till I was asked to go speak with my dad who was sitting alone. He was super pissed and cussing when I sat with him......he wasnt mad at me but just talked vulgar to me. So I told/asked him to not talk like that to me but to explain if someone had told him something or basically WHATS WRONG?? Basically......he just thought people were looking down at him or thinking bad things about him. Well that was soo far from the truth cause no one really knows him and he hadnt spoken to anyone since he got there......for the most part. After a lil while he was calmed down and then spoke to everyone and all was fine. So that night me and my brothers felt/thought all was well.............till the next day that is.

See......it was my daughters birthday and we were to celebrate it.......the following day. Well amongst my other brother and his wife whom my other brother confirmed his conversation with them about my daughters birthday....all was well and mentioned for the most part. Well my mom calls the next about not being invited...e.tc....etc... well here we go again. She gets all upset and says she's not coming and eventually says I have to drive my kids to where she is staying (at my other brothers house) or she will leave them! Then she asked if we bought any "O'Douhls" non-alcoholic beer for my dad? And cause we didnt.....she says they are not coming!? We didnt buy anything for ourselves other than gifts for my daughters birthday. So because we didnt buy any O'Douhls that meant we didnt invite my dad?.....yeah go figure. So at this point i'm upset cause this is my yearly vacation that i've been looking for all year long......work is busy and hectic lately....for a while it seems so I really looked forward to this vacation. So now my parents whom dont wanna come to their own grand daughters birthday is still drinking since morning time...and now even more PO'ed. They have my 3 kids and dont wanna bring them to the park to jet-ski and celebrate the birthday......... finally my brother and his wife finally left them and brought my kids so we could all have family fun................doesnt stop there though.........cause now my mom is saying I better have the kids over at her place by 4:00 a.m. or she's leaving without them!!!?? Me and my wife flew up and saved money just to buy our tickets to fly. So as worried as I am at this point....I just say FUGG IT.....cant deal with her drinking and ruining me and my brothers vacation family time. So I take what money I have left which is hardly anything......and end up scraping up $300.....the car rental was $311 and was gonna be a 20 hr drive.....and leaving a day early, vs flying on a plane and being back home same day. Thank God my brother gave me some gas money cause I thought I could of made it on $147 for gas and food from Washington to southern California..........I made it back with roughly less than $20. Then my wife and a family friend had to drive another 4 hours to return our rental and pick up our other car and drive backup here.

I had to use my car payment and bill money to get back. Thanks David for the help! So now i'm broke and cant even buy my school books for 2 weeks and will be missing class assignments till I get more money, now honestly how screwed up is that? So I sit here writing this knowing i'm broke at the moment....dont have $ to buy my overdue school books, need to go grocery shopping, need to pay some bills that are already due.....have to put gas in car very very soon...........

But ya know.....me and my family are home safe.....we had a safe trip, were all in good health, and I get paid in a week and I got bed to sleep in. That makes me feel better. And this blogg thing...is good for something cause I can type anything I want.....So for all of you locals that visit my site regularly and/or just stumbled across it however you may........I'm not like this at all......I dont get angry hardly ever....I feel its better to remain cheerful then angry since in my opinion life is too short to be angry. I just had to type this out and get it out of my head since this little episode that my parents put me and my kids had made things difficult finanacially for this short time.............it will pass in time....I know it will. I'm sorry i'm just venting. Have a nice evening folks.

Back finally!

....ok...after some "issues" while on vacation to Washington.....I ended up canceling my plain tickets (2) and renting a car.....which was expensive in my opinion....but have a 20 hr drive back.... it will be non stop pretty much.

I can say I will never do this drive again, but didnt have much of a choice.

We did have ALOT of fun while up here! Jet ski'ing, lots of food, lots of driving around and checking out the old memories in the old neighborhood. Well there is too much to talk about and mention......all I can say is........even though it was a much needed vacation.....it wasnt maxed out to the funnest it could of been...due to the situation that was happening and forced me and the wifey to this drive home WITH THE KIDS......for a nice, long, healthy, hot, long..............did I say its a "long" drive? lol well....I dont mean to whine....but I am cause this was my one and only vacation for this year pretty much....at this point. I will try to post some pictures here shortly.

Oh...and to top this all off....had to have car back by Wednesday, and then drive down to L.A. and pick up our other car we left at our sister-in-laws house and then drive back up to the house...................he he he ...go figure...........

So basically.....we will have/had driven 2 x10 hr drives and 2 x 4 hr drives and 1 x 20 hr drive.......nice vacation for people who can barely last a 9 hr drive.

RENO

...ok.....left Friday..............10+hour drive.....gawd.....the heat got up to 108 degrees in some parts. Cruised from the coast here in Cali.....drove east.....then north.....(northern central) California.....then over to Sac town....then over to RENO. Then left the next day to drive back here.........................................by the way......I really dislike route 166. I'm tired now...i'll continue this later or something....


Still getting used to this "blog" thing...............go figure...zzz...zzz.......z...zzz......so sleepy, look at the time.
