Morning Birds

Yesterday morning me and my sister Jaime sat on the front porch and we were questioning why there were so many black birds in all the surrounding neighbors yard, but when they all flew away at once, they had orange underneath of them! They were the state bird "orioles" ! They're so pretty! And we have this woodpecker that sits in the trees and just taps away. Some mornings we can see him, but yesterday he was pretty high up. We had my niece and nephew [Blake and Ashleigh] here for the weekend too. Blake's almost 9 so he always just plays video games. But, Ashleigh keeps me on my toes and constantly making sure shes not in the front yard. Figures, that I say she can play out front since me and Brandon were out there and as soon as she runs out there, a brown pitbull comes running out of someones yard! I rarely ever see that neighbors dog, so when I do I get so nervous. He NEVER puts it on a leash.

Well, I brought up Jason's headstone to my dad. That did not go as planned.. He got really defensive. Like, who was I to ask him about paying for my brothers headstone. It's going on 4 years now since Jason died. I think it's time to order one. I never really understood why he bought a 30,000 dollar car before a 5 or 6 thousand dollar stone. I hate going there and seeing that all he has with his name on it is a tiny plastic green box.

Oh mother.. Everytime I talk to her it's like I am a burden to her. Maybe because I catch her in almost every lie she tells me. She has a new "boytoy". Ugh, hes so nasty. She's breaking up with her current boyfriend to date this crappy one. [ yup, shes dating two at once] She took me to dinner to meet him and his son. He was rude. And made a horrible first impression. He reached across the table, and started picking things off her plate and eating them! I find that rude and disgusting. And he asked the waitress to move our table from the eating room to right next to the noisy bar! And didn't order an alcoholic beverage! Maybe to watch the basketball game that was on the 4 tv's surrounding us? I caught him in a few lies also. And the worst part! 2 weeks after meeting me, someone vandalized his car. And the first person he tried to blame? ME! [ In all honesty I wouldn't even waste my time] And she made me aware recently that I will be needing to remove all my stuff out of her other boyfriends house. Resulting in her trying to take as much furniture of mine to her new boyfriends house because " he doesnt have alot of furniture to begin with".
