Today was such an up down day. We slept in late today after staying up late last night just watching TV and cuddling. Well that may have been a mistake as our 100 pound German Shepard, Malakai, is basically programmed to go outside in the morning and couldn't hold it any longer and crapped upstairs.

Logan, our 13 yr old somewhat autistic child with ADHD woke up and "cleaned up the mess". Unfortunately that meant that he took a good towel, and picked up the crap and since it wouldn't easily fall off the towel he scraped it across the toilet seat, and dropped some along the way. Which he did not clean up afterward. Well he had smeared the crap into the carpet and left it there.

After we woke up, Logan claimed to be sick but he did not look sick or nothing. Then about a half hour after we woke up, he decides to tell us about the dog crap.Punishment was that he had to clean it all up AND clean the towel in the tub.

Well then we got a call that Logan's step-mother and best friend to Rachel (his mother) would be coming up to visit. Yes i know that sounds weird, but to explain a little rachel's ex (and Logan's bio-Dad) married Jen, who became Logan's step-Mom. She is great,  I even love Jen.

So the day was gonna get better. We decided to go to a thrift store before Jen got here, took the 5 year old twins and Logan got to stay home and watch TV. Tristan, the more crabby of the two, decided that he was going to throw a huge temper tantrum in the store. I had to carry him out of there.

Well then Jen came up and we were going to have this huge cook-out on the grill (I like doing cooking) I started doing all the cooking, made a cheesecake, prepared the homemade stuffed mushrooms for deepfrying later, and then the chicken marinated and pork steak on the grill...... until it went out, we ran out of LP gas for the grill.

We all kinda chipped in for another tank and got it all done. Things are going better...until.....

Logan got sick, really sick. He is now finally calmed down and in bed with his half-brother that he hardly sees anymore.
Rachel and Jen are sitting watching our DVR of Rock of Love II so all is right with the World again.
