Family duties

Know it's been awhile since I signed in but been busy. Been helping Don's mother now that his dad passed and she's home alone try to stop by and help her out. A young boy ran into her as she was leaving the grocery store,thank God she wasn't hurt but was upset because her car got it pretty bad. Had to go when I got off work and take her car to a shop off 59 at 3 in the afternoon which isn't good in Houston traffic. Then there was the wait for the rental car then back to 610 at 5 in the afternoon to get me home which is a nightmere in traffic at that time of day. All this after being up at 4 in the morning and working all day,but, it is worth it for her. The whole time we were on the road all she could keep saying was how bad she felt for the young boy that ran into her because he had worked all night and was tired and just trying to get home. Don't know about most but I don't think that's what I would have been saying after he hit my nice new car. But that's just the kind of person she is. In ways reminds me of my own grandmother who I can't hardly remember ever saying anything bad about anyone and was always worried about the other person.Anyhow all worked out ok.
Here lately I've been trying to help Jimmy and Vanessa get their kids ready for school. Jimmy one week-end and Vanessa the next. Jimmy is like me,he knows what he wants and goes in gets it and is ready to go home. Nessa on the other hand will drag you through 15 stores and still not know what are where she wants to buy. Most times you end up right back at the first store you started at. Make sure you have on good walking shoes with her! Then there is all this land and house that seems to consume all our time. Nearly 2 acres just to mow and rooms in this big ass house that never get used but somehow manage to get dirty,how that happens I have't figured out yet. But I keep pushing this ole body on and it just keeps running so I should thank God for that. And I have survived!!!!!!!!!
