DAY 11: YOUR FAMILY
This should be interesting.
I'm not really sure how you would describe our family. But here we go, in order from oldest to youngest.
My dad has always been very hard working. I mostly remember him being at work during our childhood. He retired a couple of years ago after having many surgeries do to a degenerative joint disorder he has. He absolutely adores his grandsons, and for the most part is a good male role model for them. He has a very strange sense of humor, and some of the things he says completely baffle me. I also love to give him shit about being a craddle robber, because my mom was in high school when they dated and got married and he is eleven years older than she is.
My mom and I are so similar that sometimes it's quite comical, because we will either think the exact same thing or get the same song stuck in our heads at the same time. But since we are so similar, when we butt heads it might as well be World War III and it lasts FOREVER because we are both stubborn asses who hold grudges. Where I am awkward and quiet, my mom is reserved but not awkward in the least and can hold a conversation with anyone. We make a good team for the most part, and she's always been there when I needed her.
I have an older half-sister, who I don't mention a whole lot. This reason being that I don't know her very well. I remember her coming to our house a lot when we were all very young, but since then I have seen her once or twice every few years. I don't know all why this is, because I have only heard our dad's side of the story. It's kind of a shame, and I wish I knew her better. Even more so now that she is expecting her first baby, my first nephew. It makes me sad that I'm not really going to be able to spoil and see him as much as I would like.
I come next in this order, but I have introduced myself before so HA.
My younger brother is only a year and a half apart, so he was my best friend when we were little, even though sometimes he would annoy the living shit out of me. He has grown to be a fine young man. A couple months out of high school he went to trade school, and completed the 18 month welding program in three months. After that, he started working for a company, but soon headed to North Dakota to work on the pipeline, where he still is (only in Wyoming). I'm very proud of him. He is a hard worker, and though he can be an ass, he is overall a very genuine and smart guy. Ladies hit him up, he's single.
My martian is next. He's always been very smart for his age, and he pick up on things very fast. He is so silly and very dramatic. I say dramatic because if he wants out of his high chair, and you're not unbuckling him fast enough he'll start saying, "I'm stuck!" and if he still thinks you're going too slow it ends up, "I'm dying!" He is very helpful, and LOVES to play outside and be near the animals. He also loves his baby brother! He loves giving him loves and sharing toys he thinks he will like. He has also recently become very helpful. He likes to help me put laundry into the washer and dryer, and just today he wanted to help wipe up the floor and hold the dust pan when sweeping. I'm not ready for him to be so big. :[
Last, but most definitely, not least, is my baby bug. He is an absolute sweetheart. He is very calm and happy baby, he only gets crabby when he is really hungry or really tired. He loves snuggling and being held, he's a cuddle bug. He absolutely adores his big brother! He will sit and watch the martian play and absolutely giggles his head off when big brother talk to him. He like going on walks and playing in his bouncers. He is in that not quite crawling stage and I am just like "BOTH my babies are growing up too fast!"
Well that's it! Until next time.
