~A Great Day!~
It didn't go completely as planned. In the version I was told last nite, Shane was going to p-up the kids at 10am, and I could go back to sleep and then later Devin would come get me. I had the kids clothes ready the nite before etc. Shane got here and the 3 of us were still asleep. Then he says Oh, btw, we can't make 2 trips out to the Cape, not enough gas, tolls so you have to come now. UGH> I really wanted to go back to bed, but I knew it was either ruin the day or go, so I went. I'm glad I did. Well, except for another trip in the damn cargo van.
We get to their apt and Devin is still sleeping. Britt was up. She slept w/her contacts in and her one eye is really scratched up. She almost always sleeps in them b/c she can't stand to wake up and not see. But she abuses those contacts and eyes. I just can't get thru to her. Shane played ps2 with Kallee and Dallas (Nemo) and we all just hung out for the morning. I ended up going back to sleep there. I woke up just as Shane was leaving for school and Dev and Britt were getting the kids ready for the park. The boys live in a huge apt complex w/4 pools, several lakes, park and playgrounds. I stayed at the apt b/c the walk is too far for me and besides I was looking forward to the peace and quiet. Devin was kind enough to leave out a sugar cookie recipe and show me where the ingredience was hinthint :)
And before they left he asked me how you wash bb hats in the dishwasher. So I told him and he starts taking out all the dirty dishes that Britt just loaded. So I say Dev! wash the dishes and then I'll puy em in after. He starts to hesitate and then turns around and says(not yelling at me but like a light bulb went on) "Hey! This is my dishwasher! I can wash my hats first if I want to" I just busted out laughing. He had a point LOL!
Btw, after he left it overflowed b/c he put too much dish wash det and I had to mop it up...So Shane came back changed clothes and left for work but we had a nice short talk. And I mixed up the cookie dough. After he left, I was alone and just standing there. In my sons' home. With their couches and tv and kitchen...they have magazines in the coffee table...like Entertainment weekly etc! They have utensils and condiments. Dish towels. My sons have dish towels! And an iron! I know this must sound stupid but mamas, look at those babies of yours, One day you're gonna be standing in the same spot I was today and wonder how all those years flew by! God I wanted to snoop! But I didn't b/c I 've never been like that and my kids know it. I don't like to be snooped on and I have always respected that about them too...with the understanding that if we felt something was terribly wrong etc, all bets are off. I did open their bedroom doors tho...clothes everywhere! Didn't even set foot in. LOL! I went to get on the net and Slam! In they all come back from the park! Back to reality. We had lunch and then we all went down to the closest pool. Kallee and Devin got in but I forgot to pack swimmies so Dallas would only stand on the 1st step. Luckily Amanda called Devin to see if we were all still there and he told her to come over too. She stopped and bought Dallas Batman swimmies so she saved the day!
**The story of Amanda (Shane's ex) short version...together more than a year, absolutely the BEST girl in the world! We *all* love her. Shane broke up w/her last Jan. He felt too tied down I guess. We were all devastated (even Kelly) In May or June they finally talked again and started spending time together. But so they tell me they are not together. It is so obvious how much they adore each other but I don't know whats going on and I can't ask. Devin and she have been always best buddies but for the longest time Shane stayed away. I saw her w/her hand on Shane's leg the other day and I just about jumped up and down!! But like a non-nosy mama (that I am not) I didn't say a thing...but its killing me! Oh and when the 3 of them came over last nite, Kallee says out of nowhere "so when are you and Shane gonna get back together?" Amanda busts out laughing and says "Well Kallee I don't know if we will but I will always be here for you. You know I love all of y'all"
Bottom line, I personally think they are meant for each other but they are young(19) and we'll see...
So the kids swam and played and then we came home. The weather was great...all good day all in all. They took pics at the park and the beach but Dev has to download them on his computer and email em to me...so I'll get em up asap.
G'nite!~m
