howdy all.
today has been improved.
i am back at my house, just took down my xmas tree. jims mowing came and did some more weed killing/cleaning up/hedge trimming for me and YAYYYYYYYYY my hug a bub arrived in the mail

my brother -he text mum from a free text site last night and asked to be picked up at my place in 30 minutes. I came to get him and he was sunburnt badly, hungover and feeling sorry for himself. I told him to get over it. He did just what I thought and spent 3 whole days drinking and doing god knows what else with his mates. Did I mention the bruises and black eye? mum reckons he got beaten up, but he told me him and his mates were boxing. which wouldn't surprise me they are idiots. He seemed pleased with himself for getting drunk to the point of spewing in kfc, and not being able to walk at one stage. He kept looking for sympathy. Little bastard. I told him I was disappointed and that I wouldn't lecture him because that is mums job. But I suggested he might start off well by apologizing.
He got home and CONTINUED searching for sympathy and proceeded to rave on about the things he drank etc. Mum was just plain ignoring him but I can tell it wasn't doing him any more favours to be bragging..
He is annoyed at her for taking away his xbox, laptop etc. But I told him it was his own fault and to get over it. He knows he will be banned from going anywhere til he turns 18 now. But apparently he had an awesome new years and it was worth it.
He just doesn't seem to care how he upset mum. I'm still so mad at him

feeds bottle fed Vinny for most of yesterday and then as of the evening back onto the boob. my nipples welcomed a break but I don't know how long they will be okay for. He feeds often. He had the boob before bed and slept 5 hours (9-2) and I was a bit annoyed that he still isn't sleeping longer. so I gave him formula at 2 but he was up wanting to be fed again at 5am and then 730. (after gooing and babbling for 2 hours driving me mad!). I've come to the conclusion that he is just a little piggy and needs to feed all the damn time. He's still growing like a mushroom so its not as though my milk isn't good enough...

sorry no personals. i'm running out of time before he wakes from his nap and still have to get the dishes done.
and my internet is going slow today might get back on for some more later.
