Friends….

I see pictures posted on Facebook – all these people doing family events and events with friends…and we really don’t do any of that …. I don’t know if it is because of Andrew’s diagnosis, Jim working 16 hour days, my being basically a single mom, no babysitter – ever or people just don’t invite us anymore because we usually can’t come – at least not together. It makes me sad.
I have to admit – I’m too fucking tired to think about going out during the week – or even on the weekend – on Saturdays I’m up at the crack of dawn with Andrew – I take him to reading class at Hofstra – then try to keep him busy outside the house until 1 or so – so Jim has some free time – then it is time to come home and think about what I’m doing for dinner – cleaning up the mess that was made while I was gone…Sunday – up at the crack of dawn again, church is an all morning ordeal – Jim sleeps late, gets up eats, takes his hour long shower – we run out the door (I’ve already picked up Flo because we would never be on time if I didn’t do that because Jim is Dagwood Bumstead)…we go to church – Jim does his usher stuff – we take Flo home or go out to lunch – and by that time its 2 p.m. again – there is never just a break….okay enough of my whining. Off to finish up dinner. Huge roasted pork chops, spaetzle, gravy and sauerkraut (yuck). I’m making blueberry pancakes with Andrew for his dinner – he wants them!
