The blur LIVES!
I had really hoped the blur would have left me alone once the calender flipped to the 7th month.
But that was not to be. Weekend started with Shasa’s funeral and ended with John puking three times in the middle of the night. So much for resting and recharging.
After Shasa’s funeral, which just left me drained, I spent most of Saturday and Sunday getting the house ready for Kathy and Mike’s visit plus the 4th of July cookout with the Maxwell’s.
We had a good visit with Kathy and Mike but Jean and I just couldn’t get into host mode at all. We spent most of the time just hanging plus Kathy and Mike made a run to pick up Christmas ornaments down by Kings Island.
Monday after they left, I cleaned the grill while Jean picked up parts for a rebuild kit. The new burners went on without a hitch.
From here, Jean, John and I headed for the golf course across the backyard where Great Games was there with their massive inflatable slides and games. John was slow to take to them since the inflatables were phyicaly hot for him. But I was able to help him past the hot spots and he had a blast going down the slides.
We ran into the Maxwell’s as we were leaving. They had dropped off their stuff for the cookout, so we ran back to get things situated then head back to the games. Sadly, one thing lead to another and we just stayed at the house. Dave and Karen and very cool and Miss E is a very smart kid. Post fireworks, we threw in the last Peter Gabriel concert DVD while the kids worked over the Playdo while they waited for the traffic to thin. One of the major joys of our place is the fact we don’t have to drive home after fireworks.
All appeared claim until 4:30 when the pukes hit John. It was so rough for the little guy and unlike the last time he picked up something this stuff stank so bad I was starting to get weak in the gut. By 6 I had emailed the Maxwell’s to make sure things were OK on their end then went to bed for about 2 hours before rolling to work and having something blow up…but that’s for another post.
