Not really… it’s raining and it’s supposed to rain all day. My shoulders, neck and back are aching and I feel much older than 56 today. But it’s my birthday and I guess I should just be thankful I woke up today, right? :)

I have no plans for today… you know.. the whole no job and no money thing but I’m not big on big celebrations anyway. I’ll just be happy to have my kids call and say happy birthday. Right now I’m just going to sit back and relax and wait for my Tylenol Arthritis to kick in.

Everyone have a wonderful day on me!

25 Oct 2009 Babysitting Benton

Andi went to Pennsylvania today to pick up her boyfriend and I got to watch Benton all day. He’s such a happy and good natured baby. He hardly ever cries unless he’s really hungry or needs changing.

We are having a great time. He’s been smiling and talking to me (well.. cooing and gurgling). We went outside and took a short walk around the yard too. Now he’s passed out on PopPop’s quilt on the floor.

Andi and Drew should be here within a couple hours to pick him up… barring any traffic problems in Phila.

JoJo took over Daddy’s quilt and it doesn’t look like she’s going to give it up any time soon!

The condo is empty. We moved into a 28 or 30 ft camper trailer. This is going to be interesting to say the least. But at least I have internet again. I had to go to Best Buy and get an wireless adapter.

The camper is parked in hubby’s brother’s driveway and they have a wireless router that I was able to “mooch” the internet from. The signal is low and sometimes I lose connection but it comes back and it’s fast even with a low signal.

Below is my “new” computer “desk”.

Andi has decided she’s not happy in PA and they have been having problems with the boyfriend’s parents. She’s moving back to Jersey. Hubby and I are going to pick her up tomorrow. She’ll be staying with hubby’s sister and will probably be working/training at the hospital up the street. They give preference to Army veterans especially if they are medics. We will all be looking for a house to rent together and share all of the expenses which will make things easier on all of us.
