Genealogy. Where do I come up with these ideas? Even if it was a good idea...and it was...Like I have the time or patience to put forth to a project of such proportions? Right!!! We all know that I have neither but I do feel I have a certain responsibility to chronicle the the ol' family roots. And, now that I've been searching into it a little more, I sure wish my family tree went more straight up like my husbands side of the family (There, of course, is a joke there.....A serious one-but we, of course, just laugh...) Anywho, now that I have delved into the mess I have had to pick my brain and the Internets' for info. Neither of which has been an easy task. Because they want money to make it easy and I am just not gonna go that route. I'd be broke in a day! I will say I have come across a LOT of names, dates, etc. that without the Internet probably would have taken years to compile through family. So, I am thankful I haven't had to work too hard or had to talk to a lot of long-lost family. I would have given up long ago. I know it seems silly but I just think my siblings/kids should at least know where to find the information about their ancestors EVEN if they don't know anything more than stories about them. IS that silly?
I think I'm getting lined out on my new meds. Yesterday wasn't so bad after I got going and today is looking like it's starting out a little better. I am totally off my anti-depressants and amazing I am noticing just this morning I have all kinds of mental energy. Incredible! Now, don't go get excited on me just yet but I'm going to even say I even feel a little "physical" energy bubbling in the background to. I know-BIG STEP for the ol' Mommster....But, Hey! I'm feeling it-At least today; right now.....I'm still going to take it slow and see how it goes. So, Nobody better be getting on the bandwagon just yet and doing a shout out to the "MAN" I'm good as new and ready for action. I will make y'all pay.....
Speaking Of Mr. Man-He's done with his mom's place and in his usual steadfast fashion stayed behind longer and worked on her honey-do list. Needless, to say NOW he's not done with that, so I'm sure we will have to go down again soon to finish it. Which will, of course, just be the beginning of another unfinished project. I swear she creates jobs just to get us down there for company. I shouldn't complain. I'd probably do the same for a reprieve from that crazy old man too (Pete's Dad). He is exactly like our mom was in temperament and personality, just a man. Which really sounds kind of stupid because I never really thought of our mom as very feminine! Like I did mom, I try to avoid him as much as possible! Such a cranky old fart! .....just like mom.....
So back to Mr. Man-He then comes home yesterday at 5:30 and starts taking off his trucks running boards and re-welding the supports. He then repaints with undercoating and reattaches them. Of course, this took his awhile with Connors' help because originally he did not know what the problem was but let me just state: the man has a sickness! I have never been around or nor have I ever known anyone that organizes/creates, and accomplishes a work schedule like him. He is like an elephant- he never forgets and steadily plods along until he gets it done- Oh, and he will get it done. Through rain, sleet, snow, etc...That man is so focused. I guess the world needs people like him. Hell, I be a liar if I said part of me didn't marry him for just that reason. 1. So-He'd stay on my butt and keep me going, focused and on task. AND or 2. To pick up my slack when I decide to be a complete jackass and balk.
As good as I think these reasons are- They still don't change the fact that he has problems and can be a real pain in the butt himself. Hopefully, in the Karmic reasoning for things in life we balance each other out. "AND IT'S ALL GOOD...."
