My Brother Bill's Visit, The Details

Because I know you can't sleep at night until you know how the visit with my brother went. Bill just got back from Iraq and drove up here from San Diego with his beautiful wife Ari.



My oldest, Michael, loves Uncle Bill, but Bekah is all about Aunt Ari.



That's the living roof at The California Academy of Sciences. We had a field trip there last Thursday. My Dad and awesome step-mom came along as well. My poor husband had to work though. That's what happens when you own your own business. We did see the guy who gave my husband a vasectomy, his wife, and all 4 of their kids. That's what happens when you are an urologist and your wife is a dentist. You get to take all 4 of your kids to the a museum on a Thursday. I am not bitter, I just wish my husband could have been there.


Aunt Ari loves me even if I take off my pants and scratch my mother's face hard enough to draw blood.



Jake gets jealous if I show attention to anyone but him. Did I mention that he scratched my face hard enough to draw blood? Little a-hole. We were having lunch at the museum and he decided to throw a classic 2 year old tantrum. Don't worry my tetanus is up to date.




Bill asked Michael to help carry his back-pack out to his car. Michael said, "No, because that means you will be leaving faster.". When Bill and Ari drove away Michael turned to me and said, "I'm sad.". I hugged him and said, " I am too.".

ahhh the tantrums. I just love the public ones don't you? Sniff, I got all sad when I read the part about Michael not wanting to help with the backpack because it meant he was leaving. My little brother came out a few years ago and I coulnt go with him into the airport because I would lose it. We dropped him off outside and I was howling all the way to Palo Alto.

that sucks that your hubb couldn't make it there with you guys. and boy oh boy do i know about those crazy tantrums.. my foster daughter, the one that just left, had ADHD, BiPolar disease and DID and used to get psycho when we'd go out in public. (needless to say, we spent alot of time around the house)
thank you for your words of support and encouragement on my last post.. =) and i am glad you had some time with your brother and SIL. i am looking forward to my hubb getting back from Iraq myself!

Clare when Bill left, I had to lay down in my bed and I am still recovering emotionally, and physically, because he is a very active person.


S.P. so you know all about public tantrums! I hate people staring at me unless my kids are being cute.
