Not much else on my mind it seems lately. The sun is out and the temp is up. Pulled the camper out a couple of weeks ago and now it is just count-down time.
The kids are great. The wife is still here. God is still (for some KNOWN reason) trucking along with me, keeping me safe and guiding me through some of the tough spots.
Took Kenzie's car from her. Go figure. The first time in almost 3 weeks I check on her and she is out running around with two kids in her car. Needless to say, you should have seen her eyes when I pulled up behind her in front of her girlfriends house. Most importantly? She was driving like a mad-woman, not signaling and speeding.
Cyrus has his first traveling baseball game this weekend in Salem. Looks like it will be just him and me going. That should be some good one-on-one.
Shane's grades suck. We have been keeping in touch with his teachers and monitoring his progress, but he just keeps struggling... And he is thinking about getting back together with the girl who dumped him not too long ago. ACK!
The grand-baby (Andre) is super. I got to see him the other day and he is just growing. What a doll. Starting to grin and chatter. Being a grandparent is the "stuff!"
Cody is doing well in baseball, although he is playing mostly JV due to his shoulder still healing/hurting. Grades are decent. Last week he let me know that he and some friends are going to go camping. Some of those friends were of the female kind. He promised that the girls were going home before too late and that he wasn't drinking. So, lo and behold, I happen to run in to him after he took the girls home (11pm ish). He was sober and happy to see me. Guess I am going to have to figure out a new way to father... this trust thing is hard for me.
My son John (AKA: Reefer J Rolla) is still smoking marijuana and writing rap songs. He and his girlfriend are living together raising Andre. She seems to be doing great. Not so sure about him. He is still not working although I think he believes the raps are working... not so sure just yet. More on that later. We haven't been talking much because he knows how I feel ( and obviously where I stand legally) about the marijuana. I just wish he would see what it is doing to him mentally. He seems to stop growing up when he "hits" the pipe. Kind of hard to watch from where I stand... We just keep praying for him and waiting for God's works. Eleventh hour?
Brenda (AKA: the Wife) is great! She is always reading her books and lately has been running on the treadmill more. She seems to smile more lately... could be summer though. hehe
LOVE YOU!
CJ
