Ok for a while there I was going crazy with home life and trying to figure out how to balance fun in DJ's summer with the goals we are aiming for.  Pops isn't much help and it just seems like every day he throws a wrench in my careful plans.  But it's an adjustment and DJ and I are trying to work through it.  It's a shame.  I feel so bad for him.  My dad lets him watch tv the whole time I'm at work.  Which is definitely not good for him.  So that means no TV for the rest of the night for him.  So he's not a happy little camper right now. 

I realized I accommodated my dad way too much when he came here.  I understand he wants to do "grandfather" things but he just CAN'T.  When he moved in, he started letting DJ watch TV before school and after school.  DJ was never allowed to watch TV on school days - neither before or after.  I mean, I'm trying to work on attention span and get him into other things.

DJ is not allowed to drink soda.  Why?  Because he NEVER drinks water.  My dad doesn't understand the meaning of the words "once in a while".  DJ's best friend came over to spend the night on Saturday and I bought a bottle of orange soda for them.  That one bottle made my dad think it was now a free for all and bought a few bottles of Pepsi.  It just pisses me off.  Then when I say something it's like, "Well you gave him orange soda...."  It's like that with EVERYTHING.  I've just about had it.  But I'll get over it.  So that's where I"ve been at the past few days.  Just plain old going crazy.
