I know I know, another entry so soon, but hey, I've been waiting for this thing forever and I've got a lot to say!
JOSH
Ok, I think I have the nuttiest kid ever. He's so darn cute too. The other day Joey was upset because Josh was ignoring him, so I said "Would you rather he bug you?". So Josh then started to poke Joey and yell "BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG". It was so funny. Then yesterday he had the fly swatter and was hitting Jon with it, then touched me with it. I yelled EWW and said "NO touch", then he very quietly as soon as I turned my back, gently went "touch" and touched me with that yucky thing! He's so hard to get mad at, he's got these big blue eyes he gets all wide and stuff and makes me melt. Right now he's starting to potty train himself, but I'm in no rush. Joey waited till he was almost 4 so as long as he needs is fine by me. He spends most of his days in underwear, only if he tells me he wants them on and does well, except for the diarrhea incident on the couch...ugg. He is so tall, with brown hair and dark blue eyes. And it seems like only yesterday I was giving birth to him, and now he's almost three. Sigh.
JOEY
Lately Joey has had a major attitude. Not too long ago I told everyone he was such an angel, well, I guess I spoke too soon or something. Always talking back to me now, or picking little things to argue about. I think it may be from starting school again. Hopefully at least! Recently I asked him how he got so smart and he told me because he has a little scientist living in his head. He says he moves around his body and helps him when he doesn't know the answer or how to do something. Now he says he needs to kick his scientist out because he's making him act bad. What a kook.. Joey is a shorty, with brown-blond hair and grey-green eyes. He wears glasses, which are blue wired rimmed. He looks just like me, probably exactly what I would have looked like had I been a boy.
MY FAMILY
Well, what little I have. My brother Jeremy(26) has distanced himself from us, not sure why, so I don't really talk to him. My sister Jessica(22) sometimes acts like she's too good for us, because she has money and the rest of us don't really. My sister Michelle(21) is the black sheep, having moved out at 14 and is still moving from place to place, never keeping a job for very long and not really keeping in touch. I don't know the rest of my family, besides my mom, they all live in the New York area. My mom, well, technically I guess, acts more like a friend/sister. She spoils Joey, kinda spends time with my nephew, and barely notices Josh. And only comes to my house when Jessica isn't speaking to her or she needs something. Arrgghh..which is very often, by the way. A few days ago her dogs got out and were picked up by Animal Control, and she comes to me for the money to get them out. So I give it to her, lecture her on better care for them, and leave it at that. Well, they got out again yesterday. And she needs even more money now. I don't know what to do, one of the dogs I gave her and want back, only if she gets them out she won't give it to me. I should probably let them just find better homes. I just don't know what to do with my mom sometimes.
Ok, well, now that that's out of the way, I can start my entries on happier notes. BTW, this is exactly how I write in my journal at home, kind of jumbled thoughts, not really in any order or anything, just how I think of things. Promise I'll have more interesting stuff up next time too! LOL
And if no one reads it, that's ok too, I'm really mainly writing all this so I have a record of life that's better written(in some ways) than what I put down on pen and paper.
