Things are going a bit better around my family. Today is my sister's one week anniversary of being married. She really seems to enjoy the homemaking part of it. I have not talked to my mom in 5 days - we normally talk at least twice a day. I've tried to call but she doesn't want to talk to me. She says that I'm not loyal to her. I'm praying on what to tell Matthew in my next letter to him. I don't want him to be stressed out by all of this while he is at boot camp. I'm positive he has enough on him.
In my immediate family of W and T-Puppy, all seems to be well on the western front. I got sick on Friday night and felt rough most of Saturday. W did a good job of taking care of me. Then Saturday we picked up Mekia (w's parents dog) and she had the egyptian virus all Saturday night. Thankfully she was confined to the kitchen. You can imagine what it smelled like Sunday morning in here. When we got home from church I laid T-Pup down for his nap, W took Mekia out, and I sprayed each poopy and vomit spot with cleaner, boiled water + pine sol on the stove, and had 3 candles burning. I'm telling you it was rough. T-Pup won't be getting a pet until he can take full responsibility of it! :) (or until I'm persuaded otherwise).
I can't really think of much else to write. I think the college bible study should be good tonight... we're talking about reckless abandonment and what that entails. I found some really neat things this morning when I was preparing for it, but I'll save that for another day.
I'll take any family advice you're willing to give.

my 18 year old sister is now married.
my brother is really going to be a marine... it has just become real to me. he will probably go into a war region.
my mother... I don't know what to say.
me... I'm tired of being the negotiator for all of them. it's sressing me out.

Just a Wednesday
My friend Heather that was my summer missions partner in South Carolina is getting married next Saturday, October 14. I am so excited about going back to SC! We are leaving Friday morning (4 or 5am) and driving. It's about an 8 hour drive, so hopefully we'll still have a good bit of the day to spend once we get there. And, I'm hoping with it staying dark until 6:30 that T-Puppy will sleep that extra time. When we came back from GA in January he literally cried from Atlanta to Huntsville. Now that he is older and facing the front hopefully we'll have a better experience.
I woke up about an hour and a half before W and T-Pup this morning. I had some good time with the Lord, folded two loads of laundry, unloaded + reloaded the dishwasher, and started another load all before they woke up. It was soooo nice and felt amazing to be so productive all before 8:30. I have become soo bad at staying in bed until T-Pup wakes up... which is usually 8:30-9:00! I seem so tired in the mornings though. You would think I'd stayed up half the night before, but in all reality we're in bed by 10:30-11:00. It's crazy. I'm praying that today will help in motivating me in future mornings.
So my brother is on day 8 of his 13 week Parris Island boot camp. According to the training matrix, today he is going through Customs and Courtships. Whatever that means, who knows. Tomorrow is bayonet techniques and first aid 1. I'm sure I'm having more fun here at home than he is there. We got his address on Monday, and I mailed out his first letter on Tuesday. I hope he'll write, but with it being my brother, again, who knows.
My sister found out last week that she is having a baby girl. They are planning to name her Addison Faye, and call her Addie. I think it's sweet. She is enjoying feeling Addie move a lot now, and her belly is starting to round nicely.
T-Puppy and I just got back from a trip outside (or as he says "siiiiiiiiiiide"). It was not a normal trip... he wore a t-shirt and old shoes. That's it. Bare bottom. He has an icky case of diaper rash. My homemade wipes haven't helped at all, and the acidophilus I'm taking doesn't seem to be helping either. He's had diarrhea for almost a week now, but is acting normal... so I'm guessing it has to do with teething. He is getting his canines in. As for now, he's prancing around in an old fashioned cloth diaper. It's cute with the little safety pins sticking out the side. A little makeshift... but whatever works.
Well... I guess thats all. I hope all 3 of my readers enjoy. Hopefully I'll post again soon.
