What a weekend
May. 2nd, 2011 11:11 amRoughly in order.....
Satyrday morning: snuck out earl in the morning to hit the Master Gardeners Plant Sale in Tonganxie with D. It was small, so D and I hit a nursery outside of town before coming home so By could go to work. Came home with a butterfly bush, two pots of mixed basil seedlings, a fancy fragrant(!) hybrid snapdragon, and two 6-packs of violas. Everything got planted that morning, go me!
Found out Saturday afternoon that Sis spent her day shepherding The Male Parental Unit on is search for local housing. Joy and rapture.
Sunday: errands. Groceries, then Aquarius for Jim's cd release party. The monsters fell asleep in the car on the return trip, so we kept going west, hit the bookstore in Lawrence. Came home, By went to mow, The BoyChild escaped and was caught on the road by our neighbor, who kindly escorted the little blighter back. *sigh* Little legs move terrible fast when they're motivated. The BoyChild spent the next hour or so following By on the riding lawn mower.....he didn't want to ride, just run behind, round and around and around.
By figured out that his phone was missing, which ended the mowing. After much kicking of heaps of grass, he found the remains. He's guessing it fell off his belt, and he hit it with the mower on the next trip around.
Stayed up late last night to hear the big news, and later still listening to the analysis. Will type more on that later, am still thinking.
This morning, my day started with a note from Sis, saying that TMPU is in jail in Salina for a DUI and open container. Big surprise. Old fool called *Sis* last night, trying for bail money. Am told she said something rude about leaving him to rot.
Have also found out that TMPU is more or less stalking Mom--calling her, driving by, etc. Sis says the police won't do anything about it because he's not on her property and not doing anything physical. I don't know if Mom's tried, and been told that, or if Sis is basing that on her own experiences with her ex. A fine mess, either way.
