Wednesday night I overheard Andrew and Eler Beth comparing schedules, trying to find a mutually free day!!
There is six years' difference in their ages, and, believe me, it shows at times. They can bicker with the best, but most of the time they get along quite well. Especially now that eighteen-year-old Andrew is coming out of a lot of his teen-grouch persona, and twelve-year-old Eler Beth doesn't seem quite as immature to him as she has in the past. They play a lot of games together and watch some of the same TV shows, even listen to a lot of the same music.
On Wednesday night, even though they didn't literally have day planners open in front of them, I imagined that they did as I listened in on the following conversation:
A: What about Thursday afternoon?
EB: No, I have Crochet Club at the library at 4. What about Friday?
A: I'm playing laser tag. Saturday?
EB: I'm free Saturday.
A: No, wait, the band's practicing Saturday.
EB: Well, I'm going to Meghan's Sunday.
A: And I'm going out Sunday. Monday?
EB: Monday's good.
And then both at the same time: No wait, we're going to that skating party Monday!
I think they finally settled on Tuesday afternoon. They're so funny sometimes. I don't even know what they needed to synchronize their schedules for, but I think Andrew is going to be teaching her how to play some game or work some computer program.
I've been rather sick this week. Nothing serious, just "crud". Allergies, sinus, and all the fun stuff that goes along with them. So I'm still playing catch-up with a lot of journals. Hope everything has a good weekend. I mean everyone! Must be the Benedryl kicking in!

You, too?! I've been praying to the Benadryl Gods all week! I can't breath and my left eye is watering like crazy.
"Why are you crying?!"
"I'm not crying. Allergies."
Next person... "Why are you crying?" Rinse. Repeat.

Awe, don't you just love it when they act so loving and friendly to one another!!! Makes a mom's heart melt. And makes up for those times they go at each other till you think about killing them both. ;o) Feel better! - Barbara
I have two boys with the same age difference (at the moment they are 18 and 24) - as they were growing up it was odd since they were both in different stages at all times but as they've gotten to be adults, they're now the closest of brothers.
They both sound so funny.Ahh the joys! lol. Hope you feel better soon. Love Pam xx
Awww, that was a cute conversation. I do hope by now you are feeling much better...hugs and love,

Feel better soon. I made the trip to the pharmacy for some Claritin D -- and it's still winter!
I can imagine that was a cute conversation to overhear. I had to laugh at Andrew coming out of his teen-grouch persona. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Ahh the sound of harmony between siblings! A nice sound I'm sure, preferable to the scrabbling.....I never had to worry about that with Skye , she was an only child, probably why she chose to argue with me, no one else around. Hope your feeling better soon hon! (Hugs) Indigo
