Miss me?…

Cool
…yeah, I didn’t think so. Anyway, it’s been awhile so figured I’d make an update post. You know, the goings on in my oh so exciting and drama filled existence.
So as you may or may not know, we now have full custody of my sister’s kids. They’re adjusting well. It was made easier since they were living here already anyway.
Tayonna is still bad as hell, but she’s listening to me a little now. I’ve found if I ask her nicely to stop doing something, she listens to me a lot more than when I get loud. So she gets to hang out with me some now.
Tre’s pretty much the same as he’s always been. Oh and he’s much cooler now. Why you ask…trust me, you asked. Well, he really likes the movie Labyrinth. You know. the awesome movie with David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly, and the awesomeness of Jim Henson. I LOVED that movie as a kid. The real test of his cool-ocity will come when I introduce him to Dark Crystal.
Little Nevin, now known as Oogie, Yoogie, or Yoogie Bear is doing exceptionally well. Gained quite a bit of weight since we got him. Gaining almost a pound a week. Nearly a pound and a half this past week. There’s recent pics of all 3 of the kids on my myspace. Couldn’t put them on here cuz I don’t have my photo editing software on my mom’s computer.
As for she who shall not be named…I don’t know. I’ve said a total of maybe 10 words to her since shit went down. 5 of those 10 words consist of, “You wanna talk to Tre?” She’s oblivious. She can’t figure out why everyone is so upset with her. It’s a little sad. Makes me wonder sometimes. Anyway, her and her not so significant other must go to rehab. They also must both get jobs(at least 40 hours a week), and a house, by I think it was September. Otherwise they risk losing the kids forever and they’ll go up for adoption. Family gets first crack at them though, so nothing would really change for us thankfully. I couldn’t imagine the kids with some strange family.
On to more lighthearted goings-on. Took Tre to the movies Saturday. Allen, Drew, and Cody also came along for the free ride lol. We went and seen Horton Hears a Who. It was surprisingly good. A good number of laugh out loud moments. I’ll probably buy it when it comes out on DVD…you know, for the kids. Gotta say I was a little annoyed by the religious undertones. I like my mindless, fun, animated movies to be mindless, fun, and entertaining. I’ll go to church if I need a sermon. Or wait for the Mormon’s to show up…though I think me and my cousins chased them off for good. I’m long past being “saved”. Though I guess it fit in with the whole easter weekend.
Went to my grandparents the following day for the the aforementioned Easter. Decent time. Grilled some burgers, Tre and Tay got their easter egg hunt on, and I listened to music. Good day. I’ll get the easter pics up…eventually. Not sure if they’re any good, or how many. I didn’t take any.
As for me. I cope, I adapt, I survive, then I move on. I’m easy that way. If I can say any one thing about my family, it is that we’re survivors. We’ll get past this and soon as we think we’re in the clear, I’m sure something else will come up, and we’ll get past it as well…like we aways have.
