6:30 Jamie dropped Cameron off as usual. He said he didn't eat breakfast so PawPaw, who is off this week, fixed him some cereal. PawPaw took him and Jarred this morning as I still feel a little under the weather.Later in the day before we picked Cameron up from school, PawPaw and I went by the boys club to check it out for their summer program for Cameron since I can not keep him all day and look for a job. We liked the setup and took Cameron by after school to see if he thought he might like it. He does so now Jason will need to go by and check it out. Once we got home Cameron worked on his homework, then went to the park with Pawpaw while I started supper. Jason brought Mason home. We ate supper and he took them home around 7:00.

Once everyone woke up , I fixed breakfast of bacon, eggs and pancakes. The boys called and wanted Jason to come and get them early. Once he came home with them they said they were hungry. Apparently Jamie had not fixed them breakfast as she knew they would be coming over and knew that I always made a big breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Once they ate, Jason took them to the park and then to the store to get bubbles and water pistols so they could play in the sprinkler. They came home and played with Jason in the front yard until lunch (grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and home made chili) was ready. When lunch was almost ready, Jason gave them a bath and then we ate. I had called mom earlier to let her know that I did not feel well today and could not work in the yard again today. I have been fighting a upper respiratory infection all week and coughed all night.

Jamie wanted the boys home by 6:00 so they could get ready for bed so Jason took them home at 5:45.

4/25/09

8:00 am Mom came over for breakfast( grits, bacon, smoked sausage, eggs and biscuits) and then she, Rusty and I worked in the front yard all day. Once breakfast was over Jason and the boys watched TV for awhile before going to the park to play. IN the late afternoon, Jason took the boys home. He feels Jamie needs to spend more time with the boys. She had not seen them since Friday morning and had not bothered to call to check on them. He will get them tomorrow to spend the day with them.

I have been sick all week with a upper respiratory infection and have not felt like blogging. I get this way at least once a year when I start working in the yard. Since I stopped smoking (about 10 years ago) I have problems with my chest. I can not lay down without coughing and try to sleep sitting up but this is difficult and I end up not sleeping very well. I have tried going to the doctor but most drugs don't seem to work and I have to wait for my body to recover on its on. I do feel better and hope to start back blogging daily.

6:30 am Jamie dropped off Cameron as usual and then we took JJ to work. It rained all day again and when I picked Cameron up from school at 3:10 it was to wet for him to play outside so I fixed him a snack and he played on the computer until it was time for homework. While Cameron worked on his homework I started supper. When Jason came home with Mason we had supper and then played with the boys before taking them home at 7:00.

4/13/09

6:30 am Jamie dropped Cameron off. Since it was raining, Jarred did not have to go to work so we stayed home until it was time to take Cameron to school. Since it was storming most of the day I decided to stay in today and work on the computer. I left at 2:45 to pick Cameron up from school. He had a good day at school, getting a 20 which is excellent. When we got home, Cameron ate a snack while watching TV, then started on his homework while I started supper.
Jason came home at his normal time, took a shower since he was drenched from the rain and then left to pick up Mason. Once they came home, we ate supper and Jason played with the boys before taking them home at 7:00.

4/12/09

Cameron and Mason got up early today since it was Easter Sunday. They opened their Easter baskets and played with the toys while I fixed breakfast. After breakfast, we colored eggs and then Jason got the boys dressed while I fixed the food we took to my sister house. We left the house at 1:00. Jamie had said that she would take the boys to her parents house later in the day. The boys stayed with us, playing with the other children and hunting eggs until Jamie called demanding that Jason bring them home. They cried as usual. They did'nt want to leave even when I explained that they would be be seeing their other grandparents and hunting eggs with their cousins.
When Jason came back, he was upset. It seems that Jamie was not taking the boys to her parents after all but had just wanted to interrupt our fun day.

Rusty and I went over to the house for the yard sale while Jason and the boys slept in. They came over later with breakfast (Hardee's). We did not have anyone stop by for the yard sale. I think that since I didn't put it in the paper and it was Easter weekend, no one was out shopping. Jason called Jamie to see if she wanted to come and get the rest of her items but she was again out by the pool with her friends and could not be bothered. At 12:00 we started loading Rusty's truck with a lot of the items and took them to the Goodwill store. Rusty and Jason took the large TV to the repair shop and stopped by to pick up lunch. We ate and then Cameron went to play with Ashley while Jason laid Mason down for a nap.
Rusty and I left the house around 5:00 to go to the store and to look for a mattress for Cameron's bed at the apartment. We found one at the Mattress store. I purchased it with the money Jason had given me.We (Jason, Rusty and I) have recently learned that Cameron is sleeping on the floor since he does not have a mattress and he does not like sleeping with Mason. Jamie was supposed to get him one once they moved but has found better things to spend the money on.
We came home, Rusty grilled steaks for supper and then Jason gave the boys a bath and they watched TV for a while before going to bed.

6:30 am Jamie dropped Cameron off as usual and we took JJ to work. Once we got back home I made Breakfast. Cameron watched TV and played on the computer until 10:00 and then went to see if Ashley could play. They played together most of the day. Jason had the day off and he took Cameron to lunch while I picked JJ up from work and then went to the store. Once they came home Cameron went back to play with Ashley. At 3:00, Jason and Cameron went to the daycare to hunt Easter eggs with Mason and then came home to play in the yard (they had bubbles) until it was time for supper. After supper, while Jason gave the boys a bath, Rusty and I put out yard sale posters for tomorrow. We have given Jamie every chance to come and get anything she wants before the yard sale but she only took a couple of items on Wednesday night and said she may be back later.

The boys stayed the night as usual and went to bed around 8:30.

I sometimes get very frustrated and feel like this picture . I know I don't work right now, but it seems like everyone thinks that since I don't work they don't have to do anything. I spend most of my day cleaning the house, washing clothes or cooking in between looking for a job and watching Cameron. And they wonder why I'm sometimes moody and resentful. I very rarely even get a thank you. Not once since Jason and Jamie split up has she even said thank you for cleaning up her mess at the old house.

4/9/09

6:30 am Jamie dropped off Cameron and we took JJ to work.When we got home I fixed Cameron breakfast (french toast and eggs) and then he played on the computer while I cleaned the kitchen and straightened the house. Later in the morning Cameron went over to see if Ashley could play and I started to work in the front yard. I am converting my flower beds from pine straw to mulch and they needed weeding before I could put down the mulch. My mom came over to help. Cameron went to lunch with Ashley and her grandmother and mom and I had a snack here.Mom and I worked in the yard until 4:00 and then stopped so that we could get ready to go out to eat tonight. Today is JJ's birthday and he wants to go to Texas Roadhouse to eat. I let everyone decide where they want to eat for their birthdays. Sometime they want to eat out and sometimes they want me to cook.
4:30 Jason picked Mason up from daycare, then took his shower and Pawpaw came home in time to take his shower.
5:30 We all left to go to eat and met mother (Memaw) there. We all had a good time and Jason took the boys home around 7:00.

4/8/09

6:30 AM Jamie dropped Cameron off, we took JJ to work and then came home to straighten up the house before going over to the old house so Cameron could play with Justin. We went to the house around 10:30 but Justin was still not home. We went inside to finish cleaning the house and to see what we wanted to save for the yard sale. At 12:30 we came home to eat lunch and let Cameron watch some TV since there is no power on at the old house.

At 2:30 we went back to the house and Cameron was able to play with Justin and his two cousins.Pawpaw came over around 3:00 and I came home to start supper while he stayed with Cameron. They came home at 4:30 so that Cameron could play with his friend Ashley, who is spending the rest of the week with her grandparents (The Mills) who live just down the street. I'm glad she is here now, I know they will have alot of fun.

Jason picked Mason up from daycare and brought him home around 5:30, then went to meet Jamie at the house so she could get what she wanted before the yard sale on Saturday. Once he came home we ate and he took the boys home around 7:00.

4/7/09

6:30 am Jamie dropped Cameron off as usual , we took JJ to work and then stopped by Hardee's for a smoked sausage biscuit for breakfast. Cameron calls them smoking sausage biscuits. We went back over to the old house at 10:00 to finish up but Justin was not at home so we came back home and Cameron played games on the computer for a while. At 12:30 we went back by Justin's house but he still wasn't home so we went to the post office and then to Burger King so Cameron could play. Once we left Burger King we went by Justin's again but he still wasn't home so we came home and Cameron rode his bike and we played outside until it was time to start supper.

4:30 Jason picked Mason up from daycare and brought him home. While the boys ate Jason left to meet Jamie so they could purchase the boys Easter stuff. I thought they should each do something but I guess she didn't have the money to get it herself.

7:00pm Jason came home and played with the boys for a little while and then took them home.

6:30 am Jamie dropped Cameron off as usual. Since this is Spring break week Cameron does not go to school so we stayed home until 10:oo at which time I took him over to the old house so he could play with his friend Justin. I have not been over to the old house in several weeks waiting for Jamie to get anything she might have left but wanted. When I got back to the house I noticed that she has not been back and therefore must not want anything but I called Jason and told him to call her one last time. If she has not come back by Thursday, all items left in the house will be either sold at a yard sale this weekend or given to Goodwill. I started by cleaning out the Florida room and then started moving all items left in the house to the Florida room. Cameron and I left at 11:30 to pick JJ up from work and to get something for lunch (McDonalds) and then came back. We came home around 4:00 and Jason brought Mason home and we had supper before he took them home at 7:00.

4/5/09

Everyone slept late again today. I fixed breakfast of pancakes, bacon and eggs and then the boys took their baths and brushed their teeth. Jason and the boys played for a while before he took them home. I wish they could have stayed until after lunch (to make sure they had a good meal) but Jamie wanted them home by 12:00 and Jason doesn't want to start anything because she will take it out on the boys.

4/4/09

Everyone slept in late today except Jarred (the boys call him JJ) who had to go to work. I fixed breakfast of waffles, bacon, sausage and eggs and then Jason gave the boys a bath and then they played for a while before it was time to take them home at 12:00. This is an arrangement made between Jason and Jamie after she moved out but which she seems to change whenever she has something better to do. Today she decided she wanted to lay by the pool with her friend Lisa and said that since she has the boys during the week she thinks he should have them every weekend until Sunday at noon. She says he doesn't spend enough time with them. She is the one that does not spend enough time with them as she only sees them from 6:30 pm until bedtime (8:00pm) and maybe 45 minutes in the morning before they leave the house. Jason sees them every day from 4:00 until he takes them home at 6:30 and then all weekend until Sunday at noon. We don't mind them staying here and would like it if they just stayed here all the time. They always cry when it is time to go home. Jamie says it is because they have fun here and not at home which is true. Here they are allowed to go outside(with supervision) and have attention paid to them where as at home all they do is play on the computer and watch TV.

1:00pm We met Jason and the boys at Burger King for lunch and for them to play for a while before he took them to get a haircut. Afterwards we came home to work in the yard. Jason and the boys helped and then we had supper and Jason and the boys watched a movie before going to bed. It was a good day.

4/3/09

6:30 am Jamie dropped Cameron off as usual. I went ahead and got dressed so that once we dropped Jarred off at work I could take Cameron to the store to get what he wanted for his sack lunch since today was field day at school. After I dropped him at his classroom I went to help with the preparations for field day. I stayed all day helping with the concessions and only left at 2:15 to pick Jarred up from work. At 2:00 while I was working the concessions, Jamie came up and told me that she had stopped by Cameron's room and he wanted to go home with me and she had something to do anyway.This is just another Friday that she was supposed to pick him up and decided she had something better to do. Since I had to pick Jarred up from work, Rusty picked Cameron up from school at 3:10.
Rusty, Cameron and I picked Mason up from daycare at 5:30 and came home to let them play with Jason for a little while. Since it is Friday and our day ( we have aways kept the boys on Friday night so that Jason and Jamie coud have a date night) Jason went to the movies and we went to supper at Ryan's. After we ate, Rusty took Cameron to Monkey Joe's while Mason and I went to Target to get the boys some PJ's. I have been giving the boys a bath here and sending them home in the PJ's I keep here and Jamie has not sent them back.

6:30 am Jamie dropped Cameron off as usual and I took him to school. I picked him up at 3:10 and we can home. He played until Jason came home with Mason. We ate supper and then Jason took them home at 6:30.
When I picked Cameron up from school yesterday I noticed that his teeth looked like they had not been brushed in some time. I know he brushed them on Sunday morning because they were here and I made sure they brushed. When I asked him , he said he had not brushed since Sunday. I don't understand why Jamie doesn't make them brush when she is a dental assistant and knows the importance of brushing. When I told Jason, he mentioned it to Jamie and she said that she tells him to brush and if he doesn't she feels he will do it here. He also asked her when they last had a bath and she said she was not sure. I now know why they smell sour. They should have a bath every night. I guess we will have to start bathing them here before they go home. Pretty soon all they will be doing there is sleeping since they eat here and now they will be bathing here. They might as well sleep here as well but then Jamie would not get anything ( money) when they finally go to court for the divorce.

6:30 am Jamie dropped Cameron off and I took him to school around 8:15. I picked him up after school at 3:10 and we came home. I helped Cameron finish his homework and then I started supper.
5:30 pm Jason called and asked if I would pick up Mason from the daycare center as he was still working and he had called Jamie to get her to pick him up but she had a baby shower to go to that was more important than picking up her son.
After we got home I finished fixing supper, we ate and I gave the boys a bath. I don't think they get a bath everynight at home as they sometimes smell sour.
Jason came home around 6:30, ate and then he took the boys home around 7:00.
