Well todays forcast is a pain in the neck, shoulders, arms and a few hands... Lots of back and hip problems today followed by swollen ankle and some spontanious knee pain. Watch out for the head aches and stress followed by the just plain run down feeling.

For the fortunate few the ever lovein Pain in the butt cause by your teenager at home... gotta love em...

Tommorrow looks like some sunshine, keep them heatin pads handy...

It's tuff sometimes, don't know how i managed to get up out of bed... at the same time I can't stay in bed, guess the best part of wakin up wakin up lol...

i could think of better ways to wake up.
Awe the memories, of marriage, well so much for that...

Once while My mom was on vacation at the state hospital in Austin Texas. My brother was living with us... He's three yrs older and way bigger... i was like 8 or 9, not a berry big fellow no way... Bo. and me was playing with some marbles.. on the back patio..

He gets the idea, it mo funny to watch Deanie dodge the marbles than playin marbles. So he's chunkin these mables at me an I'm trying to dodge em cause they hurt ya know.

I get smart and run into the house.

OH did I tell ya we was latch key kids. well just left alone while the grandparents worked...
Any Who. Bo... was chunkin these marbles at me and i ran into the house.

NOW the patio is connected to the dinning room by a big picture glass window with a glass slidin door... (never seen one before i was moved here)
So any ways, I was in the dining room and Bo was on the patio, and cute little me did the (you can't get me now dance and made a face) defiance dance...

Ping Bo bounced one them glass marbles off the sliding glass door...
It didn't break, so he bounced another, and another and yeppp I was makin fun of him cause he's so stupid, then
CRACK!!!!!

Oh we was in so much trouble now...
Dang marble he threw knocked a hole in the glass about the size of a bb, and a crack ran from the floor to the top of the glass door...
I disappeared as soon as it broke.
Several minutes later Bo found me hidin in the back bedroom closet...
Yepp he threathen me bootly harm if I told on him...

Several terrible hours later, cause I know who's gonna get their little ass beat for this... and it aint Bo... Grandma and grandpa arrive home from work... me I make like I didn't even know it was broke...

Grandma, having a hissy and Bo came up with some lame story about a neighbor kid my grandparrents didn't much care for nohow and how he had shoot the window with his bb gun...

Grandpa, he aint takin in about the whole story and he catches me on the front porch and tells me to come clean... He know if chit happens I generally around to see what happens...
Okay so one way or the other I'm in for a ass whippin... hhmmmm grandma or Bo...
Hell I take Bo rat now...
I came clean. told the whole truth and nothing but the truth... Bo got scolded I got my ass beat by both grandma and Bo... and she was out 169.00 dollars for a glass door replacement...
I still think it's funny how my brother never got a whippin for all the chit he did... and it was always my fault he did it... If I hadn't ran inside the window would not of been broke... I sported the marks of the flyswatter handle several days for that one... Bo he beat me up some.
But he aint grandma no way lol...

Oh then Bo told the neighbor kid I told grandma he shoot the window. and the next time my grandparent came home Bo and his buddy were throwing rocks at me for the lie Bo told lol... fun huh...

What I really find funny and not really in the humorous department. is that my brother... He still has the same lowly attitude about me as he did while we were children... HE's a good upstanding christian fellow that goes to church every sunday, and I fee so verry sad for him because he's my brother... AWWEE gee dude miss ya... Hell I don't even know where he's at any more HE aint had nothing to do with me since 1996, Oh well best wishes BO>>> hope ya alive and healthy some where...


Nuff that...
LOts of different ways for a man or a woman to feel alone...
Can't blame ourselves for others that avoid us because of this or that...
I have seven other brothers and sisters, countin Bo... they don't much know i even exist.... DADS other son...

I gottaa jump off this train dammit...
God I hope my children listened when I tried to teach them to not be this way..

Well I hope they always remember any way so far so good... at least none of my children are at ends with one another. Oh they've had there moments, still have some issues... but they talk to one another and we all talk to each other, even their mom, so I'm happy... really happy...

Come to think of it, I TAUGHT MY CHILDREN WELL....

Yes life can be tough as a child.I enjoyed your funny story about the window..boys will be boys.What I dont understand is what do you accomplish with a child if you beat them for everything.
All four of my children got corrected and even got their hineys warmed up for some things but not everything they did.
Its a shame the way some siblings can be so mean to the other.I have a sister who was a mean child and grown woman.She was mean to me and my youngest sister growing up.
Was always raising cane loved to have stuff going and loved to cause a good physical/verbal fight with any one of us.
Finally 20 years ago had to set our up and down relationship free.I havent seen or spoken to her in all that time.I still care about her and all she just never liked herself.Shes about the only one who can live with herself.Her wonderful husband divorced her and her grown son doesnt like to go around her.That gal has some serious problems.
Its probley the same for your brother.Its not that you are the problem but that they are the problem.
Enjoyed your journal.But I gotta go and get busy.Have a good saturday.

See, now mine didn\'\'t blame each other for something getting broken. The little chits would stick together like glue. \"I dunno\" did it. That kid named \"I dunno\" lived with us for years. It was 20 years before I found out some of the stuff that they did and then the youngest always told what really happened and the other two would just yell at her and say \"what did you tell her that for?\" She always said she figured one of them had told by then, but they didn\'t. Loyal to each other to the end. Kind of cool that they\'re like that cause when one is in trouble, nothing serious, (boyfriend, girlfriend, just need to talk, whatever), the other two are right there and have their backs.
And as for the fly swatter, I assume the one with the metal handles, they certainly did leave some nasty marks, didn\'t they?
Take care and happy days!! ~~Faye~~
