We hadn’t planned on doing anything special until Dennis’ dad called and asked if we were doing anything for the holiday. I said “nothing”. Then he asked if he could bring some meat so we could do a bbq. Sure, why not. We decided then to have a bbq and invite a couple people. Nothing major, but you know how it is. We had to clean clean clean, and go shopping. It’s spontaneous things like that that make me wish we had a imaculate house at all times.

So anyways, D invided his uncle Darren and I invided Noel and he brought his woman. LOL! i made the usual things. mashed potatos, gravy, stuffing, corn, ribs, chicken. I tried to make carmelized yams but that didn’t turn out dog worthy so i just tossed it. I forgot the salad. DAMMIT! we had an OK time. After the sun went down, we stepped into the patio and watched fireworks.

I dunno who or what group of people it could have been but someone just went firework crazy this year around our neighborhood. Two people actually. We had a show to the north, and another to the east? anyways, needless to day it was a show. LOTSA noise. J’s first experience with fireworks. I don’t think she saw any last year. Even if she did, she wouldn’t have remembered.

She hugged my neck and peaked up to see the colors in the sky, but then she’d burry her face back into my neck. LOL!! scaredy cat! but that only lasted 5 mins & she was fine with it after that. She sure adapts quickly!

What else. We talked a lot more about putting J in daycare for a couple days a week. I still have my reservations about it.. I rather not spend the money, and i’m afraid how she’s going to deal with it too. But I think it would turn out to enhance all our lives. J will get to play with others AWAY from mom and dad, OUTSIDE the house and I think that would be wonderful for her. Plus, mom and dad will have time alone away from J (if we put her in it on mondays now that we have mondays off together) But I can’t help feel guilt. I mean, is it fair to keep J in an institution when both parents are at home and able to care for her? dammit! but we’re gonna give it a shot anyway. HOpefully i’ll get over those feelings.
