Do I ever have a nice day?
Today started out so nice, we took Jared to Hershey Park and he had a great time. I did end up with sunburn from Hell but it was all in all a good day. I am putting aloe lotion on it as I type. We did have fun though, letting Jared get on all the kiddy rides that he would normally miss out on if we had taken his older sister.
It was so cute and sad that on Friday when Sierra's dad came to pick her up Jared said that he was "so sad" that she was leaving and he wanted to go with her. We had to come up with some fun things for him to do while she is off with her dad to the beaches of NJ and the amusement parks up there.
So, that all went great, much better than I thought that it would really. Some sore feet and sunburn I can live with as long as Jared had a good day, and boy did that kid smile when he got under that misting fountain and on that Music Express, he keep saying "we're flying, is it Christmas?"
Then I came home. I lathered on some more aloe and planned to rest my aching bones but then I got the news that my mother tried to call. Yes, mommy dearest as I like to call her called while we were out and told my grandmother that my brother is in jail. I don't know what to think about it right now.
I worry about my brother a lot. I worry that now that he is in jail he is on his way to a career in jail like my father. I know that I am not planning or willing to get him out of jail no matter what the offense. He deserves to spend some time there and think about what he did and maybe get an opinion about whether he wants to go back there again. The big deal to me or one of them is that from the story I heard he is in jail for drinking and driving. He knows how I feel about that.
The other problem that I have is what to tell my father about the whole thing. I just go a letter from my dad that he is in solitary confinement for the next 30 days. I don't want to tell him now that Jayson is in this kind of trouble, it would just upset him so much. I will have to wait to tell him after he gets out. Hopefully he will get out on August 8. I don't want to give him anything else to worry about while he is sitting alone in that cell. It might make him go too crazy.
I just hope that this turns out well for Jayson, I want him to have a better life, but I can't make it for him.
