It’s been a fairly productive weekend. Mostly just things around the house… My room has been moved around. I usually do that fairly often just to keep things from becoming static…
Last night I watched Road Trip with Ilea and Greg. It was funny but not a great movie… After dinner we decided to go for a drive in his car and ended up at Laba’s, the local convenience store… We rented the movie and got drumsticks. Such an exciting way to spend time. 😛 In the morning we all had chocolate chip pancakes. I don’t think I’ve had those more than a couple times in my life.
**pause entry as I go up to greet my parents as they returned home**
It was mostly ok… My father, however, bitched about the lawn not being mowed. He thought he had asked me to mow it but of course he hadn’t. Sure, I likely should have noticed part of the lawn was a little long, but I did everything else he asked me to do around the house over the weekend and more. Sometimes I just don’t get how he can be such a fool. I’ve called him on it a few times but I guess he’s not willing to accept that at times his son is more aware of things, or knows more about certain things than he does. He knows more than I do about many things, and I respect that, but when I’m very knowledgeable about something I think I’m entitled to a similar respect. I went out and finished up some of the mowing after he said that… I am aware of when I need to step up and make up for an oversight… That’s all it was, not forgetting, not failing to do something he asked…

Anyway, it’s not that bad. I just need to make more of an effort, I guess. It’s just hard to work at groundskeeping(physical labour in the heat) for 8 or 9 hours a day and then come home and be expected to do another couple hours of work. Sure, I understand that he’d like me to help out more around the house, but I don’t think I’m doing too little now.
