Brother from another mother

I have a cousin we will call him J that my dad pretty much raised. My dad lived up north and owned a nice steak house/seafood restaurant. J would come up every summer and pretty much every break from school to work at the restaurant. J's parents were alcoholics so his home life was not very desireable. My dad the great man he was took J under his wing and taught him the necessities in life that he didn't get at home. So J pretty much became our brother in a sense. He is 8 years younger than me and when he was little I used to babysit him when his parents would go out on their wild festivities. I was very close to him and babied him every chance I got. The older we got the closer we got. Every holiday weekend we would head up to my dads and sit up til 5:00 a.m. talking and laughing it was a tradition. He is hiliarious and I have always seen so much of my dad in him. He is very good looking and when he was a teenager I remember going to the ice cream shop in my dad's little town and the girl asked me if I was J's sister and I said yes and her reply to me was can I touch you??? I was like why? She said cuz he is sooo hot! I cracked up! I went home to tell him and he was embarrassed because he didn't like her because every time he would go into town she would follow him around. It was funny we all got a kick out of that for a long time. He ended up getting his GF pregnant and had son who is now 13. They never married and J would get him every other weekend. So when I got divorced he would spend those weekends at my house because he was not quite sure what to do with his son. He would stay at my sister's house too. Sometimes it would become aggravating because he would lay around and watch basketball or some sport and I would take care of all the kids. Again, I never bitched because I love him. I used to laugh because I told my mom I think my neighbors think I am a whore LOL. He would come over and then I had a guy BF that would come over and my neighbors did not know who any of them were becaues they did not know me. We would crack up about that and kinda make jokes as J would leave. J had a pretty rough life. His momm died when he was in his 20's and his sister that he adored died in a terrible car accident just 2 years later. He would always say "I am your brother from another mother" LOL I always admired his strength! He got married in 2003 to a great girl that I like as well. They now have a 3 year old little boy. They only live a mile away from me but since my dad died we don't get together that much. I think of him alot but it just seems our schedules are crazy.

We text alot.... and I have been getting these crazy messages from him. I would respond with WTH does that mean and he would send me one back saying something not even related to what I asked him. This has been going on for a few weeks now. So last I decided to sit down and watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 to see what all the hype was about. J started texting me crazy crap again that I had no idea what he meant. I was home alone and enjoying the quiet and I would just start cracking up at the crap he was sending me. He finally gave me an explanation. He told me that when he gets texts he forwards them to everyone and then compares peoples responses. I was like that makes sense I thought you were losing your mind LOL. Then the fun began. I laughed my ass off. He would send me stuff and then I would send random stuff back. We share the same weird sense of humor. Last night while I was making dinner I was cooking green beans. Everyone was sitting at the table waiting and I look over at all of them and said "do you want some green beans they are green and they are beans". They looked at me weird because I was saying it in a weird voice. When I think something is funny I say it a few times and laugh at myself LOL. Nobody else thought it was funny but me! I texted J that same thing about beans and the response he sent me back was "I like alfefa sprouts myself. I was never that partial to beans." I doubt this was his response but he musta sent mine to someone else and it is funny! I am not sure if he forwards these to everyone in his address book but it doesn't matter because it is hiliarious. Leave it up to him to think of something like this. The text I got this morning was They call me rosco peeko train choo choo choo. Not sure again where that came from but it is funny as hell. I have been sharing in his game and I think it is funny!

Sarah had a little meltdown last night. Yesterday was her first day of conditioning for cheer. She started her period Sunday so she was already moody. Conditioning kicked her butt. She was tired and when I picked her up she didn't say word to me in the car. That is so not like her. We got home she went to her room and shut the door. I opened the door and said what is going on. She started to cry. I gave her a hug and said what is wrong? She said Finals and cheer I am just so stressed. I hugged her while she cried and when I wallked out the sleeve of my shirt was all wet :( Nick took her for a Dairy Queen after dinner and that seemed to help LOL.

Gotta run I need to get some work done. I have been workin gon this post for like 2 hours LOL
