More on Eddie

Eddie is going to be 12 on November 6th. His voice is starting to change (it’s getting deeper). He also has adhd symptoms that he’s on 2 different medications for. He’s a middle child and that doesn’t help much either.

His father took him to see a psychiatrist, which we don’t think is really necessary. His father is really hard on all of the kids and it’s probably just a bit of rebellion. Eddie is really a loving child and needs to be given love back.

Tayler had her TV and computer privileges taken away again and probably for something stupid again. Last time it was because she didn’t do her chores correctly. I don’t see a need to take things away because of that. I could see if she didn’t do them at all. Just tell the girl to come back and do the chore the right way…

Grrrr… again…. *sigh*

Don’t use slate

Up where Drew is from (Andi’s boyfriend) they have a lot of slate rocks laying around. He and his father used the slate rocks to build an outdoor fireplace and that was a bad idea.

Drew said that the slate rocks hold a lot of moisture and when they get heated up by the fireplace they explode. So when they used the fireplace they had exploding rocks flying around. Luckily no one got hurt but they learned a lesson and won’t be using those rocks for a fireplace again.

Lost my car… again

No I didn’t physically lose it. I know where it is. Andi borrowed it again. She does that just about every other day. I go and pick her up, get out of the car and she takes my car to do what she needs to do. Sometimes I go but I have things I need to get done today.

She’s going out to get Eddie his birthday present and maybe check out some design furniture.

Last night she asked her ex (Eddie’s dad) what he was doing for Eddie’s birthday. He said that he’s having Eddie’s birthday celebration on Friday and he added “for the family. What are you doing for him?” and didn’t mention anything about Andi or his grandparents (hubby & I) coming. I got pissed… we are his family and always will be. I told Andi to call him back and find out what time it is and tell him that we’ll be there!

Grrrrr.. that man can be such a jerk!
