So, I have this person, in my previous entry, who's wigging out on me big time - s/he is spitting out lots of information I freely admit here, publically, as if it were all very insulting and some big secret - like that we live with Grant's dad, only recently got married, Jake's birth didn't go as planned - along with lots of exageration (Annie is not just shy but petrified of other people, I've jumped from man to man) and some outright lies (I've been on welfare, and Isaac is a poorly adjusted child who gets no attention). They also seem to think we resent Grant Sr (we don't) for helping Mindy so much (he doesn't).
At first we thought it was a relative (they're commenting anonymously, of course, as they obviously are not willing to let other people know they think these things), since they called Grant "Joey" which was his childhood name within the family (To differentiate from his dad). Then I saw how some of the stuff they're talking about seems straight out of booju_mooju, so maybe they are some dumbass from in there. Either way I could do without any more talk of how incredibly unchristian and judgemental (seriously, the irony!) I am, from someone who says they aren't christian anyway (?). They seem to think they get extra cool points for dropping as much personal information as possible - like that G goes to Chamber of Commerce meetings. Yet, obviously, he's not doing anything to earn a real living, because working 12+ hour days 6 or more days a week counts for...nothing?
We logged their IP address and got Ormond Beach, Fl as the city, our mother in law says there ARE some cousins there. Who knows. I wouldn't really care if it was some random nut, but it really FEELS like someone on his side of the family, who wants to spout off all this crap, dig as deep as possible to be as hurtful as they can, and then smile and nod when they see us next in person. Bethany recently found out I have a blog? I know that we have not done everything in an ideal way or with as much planning as would have been perfect, but we have a lot of love and I think we've done very well with what we've got. I don't really understand this sudden unsolicited - and very particular - hostility. Perhaps this person would like to tell me which of the children they would have me send back.
Aaaaaaaaanyway. We had a really good day. Jamie is coming Tuesday afternoon so G and I can go to the movies. We went to ArtSouth today, all of us - Melissa hung out with A and A in Alex's studio for a long time playing with his cat, Killer (who is incredibly sweet and shy). Grant is getting a studio there, free in exchange for web services. Jake, as always, has been super affectionate and adorable all day long, and is so content and easy to be with. Isaac did dance numbers for a small crowd and then preened for the cameras of strangers for awhile - he is so, so hilarious. And has been noticeably sweeter to me since I cut back on the nursing, though he is still not just a, but the, Tyrant. Shaun is over and I made a highly kickass dinner for all of us.
My sister isn't going to watch any kids, but I will at least go to Mass by myself, tomorrow. I would like it if Grant and I could both go, as they have three in a row at different times. Enough so that I would be willing to sacrifice some sleep and be the one to attend the earlier one :p I've been thinking that maybe in the same way that Non-D.O.C. protestant denominations all seemed so diluted and missing something to me - without Lent, Advent or Communion - maybe that's how D.O.C. seems, compared to being Catholic. Which, as a word, I learned means "Universal". I've been reading the Catechism when I nurse Isaac in the evenings. And serendipidously enough, one artist at ArtSouth today was doing a big painting of Mother Teresa, and the kids recognized her from the book cover that we were reading last night :) I thought that was cool.
