Memorial day? What is this day about?

panda, obviously you need to rest!

I am fine, working today :) The weather is nice as well, I am hoping to have plans for the evening, but nothing planned yet.

Memorial Day is a national holiday that celebrates the people who died while serving in the military.

But most people celebrate it like it's a barbeque. There are also usually a lot of sales at stores too.

It's been stormy around here. So no outside plans for me.

I have to get up early tomorrow to do stuff. We have to go to the clerk's office for paperwork. So much fun.

Did anyone celebrate memorial day? I didn't. lol. I wish I had got to go to a barbeque or something. That would have been nice.

I didn't do anything at all lol

You didn't do anything today or on memorial day? Or both?

I watched the concert on TV for Memorial Day with my parents. Tried not to cry at the stories and failed.

We haven't been to my families' graves in years. I don't know why other than it being hard on my mom. My grandpa got dishonorable discharge from the Navy during WWII. But then again, if he wasn't in jail on the mainland for punching his superior, he would have died in Pearl Harbor and I wouldn't exist because my dad wouldn't exist. But then again you don't call my Grandpa a lucky son of a bitch because his mother wasn't a bitch. So he was in jail and his superior was in the hospital. I wish my grandpa was still alive died; from alcohol poisoning or something like that. My dad says we would have gotten along great. I do get the picture of him in his Navy uniform when my dad passes. My siblings have to get a copy if they want one. My dad promised it to me. I also get the picture of my great uncle of whom we can't remember his name as of yet.

Up next is a rant please ignore.

@light_sucks: both full of nothingness lmao

@deathcandy: Omg I would totally be putting my kid in head start if I had one,I hear great things about it.

DC - My dad tried to run away during Vietnam but they caught him anyway. Whoops. It's really too bad that they did because if they hadn't then he wouldn't have been exposed to agent orange and wouldn't have developed cancer. Oh well.

I'm glad you got born though. That's good.

Ugh. Your sister sounds awful. I WISH my mom had put me in preschool/head start. When I was in like 2nd or 3rd grade I noticed that kids that went to preschool were already more advanced than me and I was super jealous.

Yeah. If I had learned about Head start sooner I would have put my daughter in it. But by the time I learned about it it was too late too get her in. But she's doing quite well none the less. Though I need to work on her writing skills.

Wow, that sucks. I've heard of agent orange. But I don't know much about it.

Yes. She is! When she kept telling me that Head start wasn't proven to be great, I hung up on her ass. So now when she calls I have my parents answer. If they're asleep or gone. I'll just tell them our parents aren't available and hang up. I do not want to deal with her stupidity right now.

Indeed. I'm glad she's doing well anyway.
I mean, lots of kids do just fine without it but it's good to give your kid all the advantages that you can. There's so many things that can bring them down. Why not try to help them?

Oh yah. Don't look it up, man. That shit was super fucked up. It was supposed to be a herbicide but it was actually kill everything in it's path thing. It made a TON of people have super fucked up babies and gave a ton of people cancer.

Sounds like she's super frustrating to deal with. I can understand you not wanting to talk to her.

Yes. And I am working a half an hour to an hour with Joslyn with her learning still. I don't want her to forget what she's learned.

That is fucked up.

Yes, she is. Unfortunately she's visiting with the girls tomorrow. But I don't think she's leaving the girls with us. Which is good. I'm tired of it. She never returned the favor. She can't now because the doctor wants her to take it easy, in August they'll be inducing her pregnancy early. Not really sure why.

So our bathroom is so small we can't have the bathroom towels in it or shelves. We have them in the cabinet near the bathroom. And there are no doors so you can see the towels clear as day even though they're dark blue and black you can see them. And earlier I was getting Joslyn ready for a bath.

Me: So you know we don't have any clean towels, so you'll have to air dry.
Joslyn: What's air dry?
Me: It means you'll have to stand around naked until the air dries you.
Jolsyn: *frustrated sigh* UHHH!
Me: *dies laughing*

Mom mom was mad she didn't think of that one. XD
