I couldn't decide what to call this blog, if I didn't have family I would have a nice quiet life, no stress, no hassles, no trying to save the world for other people. SIGH.  My brother is off again with KISS for a few days, but being his normal organized self, he didn't bother to contact me until the day before he was leaving to see if I could look after Tyler. It's a holiday weekend this weekend, and I could use the rest, but NOOOOOO, that ain't going to happen. It's started already. Yesterday I swung by bros house, to get the cash he had left me, and my mom and Ty pulled up behind me. Ty had been stung by a sting ray in the ocean, and although I know it hurts, etc, he would just never keep his mouth shut about it. It's constant. Granted, should have just taken him home and toss him in the hot bath so he could relax, but that didn't happen, so after 45 minutes of his grousing, he finally got home, and in the tub, I was stressed, it was 7:30 pm, and I still hadn't gotten home yet. Can I be mad at my brother, or Tyler or both, I don't know. Tyler has many problems, emotional and developmental. It's not totally his fault. My mom emailed me this morning and said he was good for the rest of the evening, and as he had to sit in the tub for an hour, he had dinner in the tub.

I like a nice quiet, peaceful day, with the dogs and maybe a hint of lavendar in the air. Tranquility, not chaos, which is what is going to be for the next 4 days. Spend the night tonight at Tylers, it's closer to my job, tomorrow drive home with Tyler, patch the holes around the house for a party Saturday night, which I am not going to, take Panda, Chris, and Tyler, and hubby back down to San Diego on Saturday, go to Hodads (which if you are ever in San Diego, is the best place to get a hamburger), then go to friends for evening entertainment, then sleep at brothers with all three kids. Then Sunday go to the beach for a beach party, and I think I have to swing by the house to get the dogs, so another 35 miles drive home to get the lads, then an afternoon at the beach. Then Home. But I don't know if I have Tyler until Monday evening or not. I am kind of hoping my mom with pop in Sunday evening and monday, but he's such a handful that it's hard to put that burden on her.  This is my dreaded weekend up coming.

The otherside of the coin, is that on the 10th of September, Kelly is leaving with the kids for a WEEK from a Wednesday to a Wednesday, so I am thinking of taking a couple of days off so as not to have to deal with any kids - because starting the 16th I have 3 weeks of looking after Tyler.  I am tired already.
