day in a life

today is April 15 and it is a Friday. It is snowing on the ice and people are getting anxious for summer to come. Easter is around the corner and also the first day of summer. there is an ancient tradition here on the ice to give children a small present on the first day of summer. My son will be receiving a water pistol. Then Easter, kids often get Easter eggs here on the ice. Huge eggs made out of chocolate and filled with candy. very tasty, but my son has a skin condition and if he eats chocolate he gets rashes all over his body and they itch like crazy so I bought a plastic egg and a little bit of candy and bubble gum and I am gonna buy a small lego pack or something like that and let him search for it, I think that is a lot better than some huge chocolate egg. then next month is his birthday, on the 24th but I always buy presents in the beginning of a month when I feel rich... don't really know what to get him, probably some lego, he loves lego and I do too so it will probably be some Atlantis or power miners box.

it is my day off today and I am working the weekend, I always seem to blog when I have a day off. anyway not gonna do much today just relax I think or do some cleaning or something..

I have a small problem with my mom these days, I feel like she is out of the parent mode and in the grandparent mode. I always have a problem with my son when we visit her. she gives him everything he wants even though I have said no. she has a lot of tasty stuff out but he wants something else and she just gives him whatever he wants no matter what I say. I understand it with kids to always try and get more or something better I mean I remember doing it myself but I didn't get away with it but she lets my son get away with it. He often tries it with me but he knows that when I say no he won't change my mind by crying but it works with grandma so why not use it! I have tried to tell her but it doesn't work she does it anyway and she even sometimes thinks she isn't doing anything wrong like the other day he hardly ate dinner, me and my brothers where all at her house for dinner and my boy said he wasn't hungry anymore so I told him that I would keep his plate and if he got hungry again he could eat that. he agreed but 10 minuets later he wanted something different and I told him no but she went ahead and found something else to give him. I was so mad. this is having the affect that I don't want to visit her because we always leave early because he cried until he gets anything he wants. He would never do this with me!! I get annoyed just talking about it.

I also hung up on my mom the other day, I have never done that before. there was a big storm and my fence blew down and almost hit a few cars before I was able to tie it down and save things. I called my mom after I had fixed it and told her about it she had guests over and her reaction to my problem was to yell out to everybody that I need a boyfriend and he has to be a carpenter and if anyone could find one for me! I was so mad I hung up on her.

why or moms like that, I wonder what my son will say about me 20 years from now... it will probably be something but I hope he won't be as mad as I have been that he doesn't want to visit me....


well in other news life is kinda normal here on the ice, I still haven't gotten any news of school so I am still waiting....
