usmcsis's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- what flavor jam was she? yesterday jeff and i went out to my parents house to see my dad. he had asked me to bring our clippers over and shave his head. his hair was falling out pretty bad and he wanted it gone now and done with. my mom was very upset but i think she needs to get over it. he's been slowly going bald since he was 20 years old anyway dammit. actually, it didn't look too bad when i was done. he shaved his mustache off too and it looked okay. i had to be careful though because the back of his head was a little swollen. cancer patients tend to retain fluid. actually, his whole body is swollen. you can't even see his ankles. oh well, at least he's at home and not still in the damn hospital. when jeff and i got there he was on the lawnmower cutting the fucking grass! i was so mad at him but you can't tell him anything. his immune system is practically nil and he's supposed to avoid as many allergins and such as possible, including, yup, you got it, grass! when he finished i went outside and met him in the yard. i said i thought you weren't supposed to be cutting the grass. if i don't who's going to do it? he said. will is inside sitting on the couch playing with his fucking cell phone. i though that was part of the reason he came home this weekend was to cut the grass for you? i'm okay sissy, he says. yeah, he's okay alright. he was using a riding mower and he was so winded he could hardly talk. he was lurching across the yard like a drunk and he almost fell trying to go up the steps. sure, that sounds okay to me. hard headed jerk. and my brother! oh my god. he knows my dad is very particular about things and he knows that my dad isn't supposed to cut the grass and he also knows that telling my dad, i'll get to it later is just going to make him go off and do it himself. but that is exactly what he did. he kept putting it off and sitting on his ass watching tv and talking on the phone and then he had to go buy a new cell phone cause his died and then he had to program it and by that time it was 2 in the afternoon and he was talking about what he and his girlfriend where going to do that night and daddy figured he wouldn't have time to get it done and if he didn't go do it himself will would never get to it! okay, that was a long winded rant but it's over now. so after i shaved daddy's hair we headed out to jeff's folks for his dad and brother's joint birthday party. we were supposed to be there at 4 but we left my parent's house a little late. so when we walked in everyone was like it's about time and next time, if we want you here by 4 we'll tell you to be here by 3 so you'll be on time and blah blah blah. they were all just joking and everything but i was a little upset. i was like, sorry, it was my fault, we were visting my dad. that shut everyone up. lol anyway, it was nice to see everyone out there again. we went and saw diana (mom) about a month ago or so but we hadn't seen roger (dad) in ages because everytime we do get down there he's on the road. we hadn't seen tara (jeff's sister) in months even though she lives in mom and dad's backyard. jessie and brianna were there of course (tara's daughters). jessie spent most of the summer with her dad so we hadn't seen her since winter. of course luke was there since it was a party for him. and daniel was there who i haven't seen since christmas. all in all is was a nice afternoon. luke told us about the apartments were he and sarah moved when he quit u-haul. they are about 5 minutes up the parkway from here. it's called saint john's wood. they're pretty nice and cheaper than here. plus, they are running a special right now, you get your first 2 months free! and no deposit. and, they check your criminal background, but they don't run credit checks. so, needless to say as soon as jeff gets home from work we're riding over there to apply and look around. we also talked with daniel, jeff's cousin about the snake breeding facility we want to eventually build and he offered his services free of charge. he's an electrician and he used to work construction. raul, jeff's brother in law does concrete and he's willing to help as well. mom and dad are willing to let us use a small piece of their property. so all we need now is the money to buy supplies and get permits, a design plan, and the time to do it. i'm not thinking it's going to happen anytime in the near future. hell, i'm not even sure i see it in the far future. lol okay, this has been a long enough entry. must go get dressed. jeff could be home any minute. bye... ________________________________________ "7th wife made out of jam."
