I woke up at nine o’clock. I heard Alex tell Charlie he wanted breakfast. I waited until I felt it was safe before I got up. Very bad of me, I guess but I make Alex his meals every day. I feel I need a break some time. When I did get up I had a shower, got dressed and had breakfast. Alex wanted me to do Christmas decorations with him. I finished doing the snowflakes, Alex did more chains.
Then I tided up the house. The spare room and Alex’s room were really messy. Alex and I put away all his toys in a neatly fashion.
After that I repotted three of the houseplants. Alex watched for awhile but he said it was too cold in the garage for him and went upstairs.
Mom had phoned when I took Kelly for a walk and invited us for dinner. Before we left to return the tapes, I worked on the puzzle some more.
We left at three thirty returned the tapes then we went to Mom and Dad’s. They bought two lazy boys for the family room which looked really good there. Charlie would love to have one, but we can’t afford it now anyways.
After dinner we played a dice game, Alex played two games then he watched his tape on TV. Alex was rather irritable, this isn’t his best week anyways. It’s hard when you know it’s not Alex talking it’s the medicines sick affects. Alex will say bad words because he knows he’ll get a reaction out of me especially. Grandpa told him he had better watch out or he’ll get a lump of coal like he did last year. He told Alex that the note said he had been bad this year and that’s what he got. Alex said no way he was getting his presents no matter what.
We left at eight o’clock. Alex went to do his Christmas decorations while I had a bath. After my bath I told Alex to get ready for bed. He said he wanted to write first. I told him when he was finished I wanted him to get ready. Alex said he would. I came downstairs, listened to the stereo and wrote in the journal. Alex came down five minutes later and started to ride his bike. I told Alex it was time for bed. Alex burst into tears, I told him to come here. I asked Alex what was the matter. He said he wanted to ride his bike. He seemed so genuinely upset that I said for a few minutes he could ride his bike. As soon as Alex got on his bike he smiled. When I told him again to get ready for he did.
I went upstairs about five minutes later to make sure he was getting ready. Alex told Charlie that Mama had read two stories yesterday. He really stressed how many I had read. Charlie said no way I read you a story yesterday. Which Alex and Charlie started to fight about. I broke in and told Charlie he had been asleep when Alex went to bed last night. What did he do read it when he was asleep!
Alex finally got his story out of Charlie. Alex complained when he got into bed that he didn’t have anyone real to sleep with. I said most kids don’t have anyone to sleep with. Alex said yeah but I’m afraid of ghosts. I said good night and left his room. There is no way to solve the problem Alex will just argue with me anyways no matter what I say.
I went back downstairs, listened to the stereo and wrote in the journal. It’s after nine o’clock, I’m going to read and go to bed.
