Lucy's house
Kevin came home at 6 and all the boys came up to him
M, t hi dad
K hi boys how are you did I miss dinner
M yeah we had pasta and meatballs
K oh is they're any left?
T yeah mom saved you some
K good where is your mom grandma and the girls?
M well grandma is playing with Kathy and I think mom is trying to get Kelly to bed because she has been crying for a very long time. And also mom seams mad about something.
K oh she is probably just tired
T nope
K how do you know.
M well she might be tired but that is not it must have been something to do with Kathy because Kathy has been calling your name and waiting for you but know one will tell us
K oh ok I will figure it out mike did you do your homework.
M yeah grandma helped me because mom said she was to busy so I ask grandma cause I didn't know what time you were coming. She is a good helper
K well I am glad you found someone to help you and yes she is how do you think I am so smart.
They went into the living room and Kathy run to Kevin and he picked her up
K what is wrong baby girl
Kathy mommies mean
K hey mom
Karen hey how was work
K all right how are things here the boys tell me that Kathy kept calling my name and that they think Lucy is mad.
Karen yes they are right
K why what happened
Karen well we were at the Eric and Annie's saying good bye to everyone and then Eric came though the door and Kathy yelled grandpa
K yeah what is wrong with that
Karen well Lucy just got Kelly to sleep and Kathy woke her up when she yelled so Lucy got mad and yelled at her. So she went off crying and everyone else was talking and then we told Lucy that she was probably just mad because she is not the baby anymore. And doesn't know how to act around the baby. So we told her to go look for her and she count find her so everyone else started to help and when Kelly was by Mary she stated crying so Lucy didn't know who to go for
K well all I could say is she better have went and looked for Kathy
Karen well she did and then finally Eric found her in ruthies closet behind some stuff
K what she should have been watched she could have got hurt
Karen well Lucy knows so Eric brought her down and Lucy tried to take her but she said she wanted her dad and won't let go of Eric so when he left she stayed by me the rest of the day and won't talk to Lucy.
K oh wow well I am sorry you got yelled at it was not right
Kathy no
Karen so yeah they are right and she is mad because Kathy is mad at her and Kelly keeps crying
K oh ok well then I better go up their and see what I can do oh and also thanks for helping mike with his homework I would have helped him when I got home
Karen oh I didn't mind at all and I figured you might be busy later so
K oh well thanks he told me you were a good helper and I told him where do you think I get it from
Karen oh yeah mike I thought your dad
M good now I will know most of it is right when he helps me
Karen oh good
K well mom I have got the next few days off to spend with you
Karen oh good
K yes well let me go upstairs and see what the problem is. Is it all right if the kids stay down here with you?
Karen sure
He tries putting Kathy down but she clings on to him so Karen grabs her
K I will be back down to put you all to bed
Kids ok
He goes into his room and Kelly is still crying
L how long have you been home for
K likes a half-hour
L and what have you been doing you must have heard her screaming and you didn't think I needed any help
K well I was going to come up but then Kathy wont let go of me and I heard what happened and I was thanking my mom for helping mike.
L oh she helped him good
K yeah he told me that he asked you and you said no so he asked my mom cause you woun't tell him when I was getting home
L well I was a little busy with making dinner and then dealing with her she keeps crying
K wells her let me take her.
Lucy hands her to Kevin
L so what did Kathy tell you
K that you were mean.
L she is still mad it happened this morning
K yup she is it was probably because she is not used to getting yelled at and she is not he baby anymore so she doesn't know what to do and she is just trying to get your attention. Maybe she didn't even know Kelly was a sleep and she was just excited to see her grandpa.
L yeah that is the same thing everyone else told me
K they are right.
L yeah I see that now but Kelly takes up all my time normally so it is hard and when I don't have her I am either trying to get a nap in which is impossible or cooking and cleaning. Or going to work
K yeah I know you do a lot and I will help out more but we both got to pay attention to the other kids way more so we don't have any more problems. And some how get Kathy to like Kelly and not be mad at you.
L yeah but how I really hurt me when she won't come by me
K well I haven't figured that out yet but I will but as for spending more time with the kids anytime she is sleeping play with them or when I come home or let them help you. And when I come home we can switch around. And maybe some times get a babysitter for Kelly well we go do something fun with the kids. So at least try.
L ok I think I can do that
K yeah you can and look she is asleep
L well then I will put the boys to bed and you put Kathy to bed cause she is not talking to me
K ok deal and I got the next few days off to spend with my mom so you go and do whatever you want
L ok good cause I got to go into work for a bit
K so I called Ben a few times but he won't pick up he must have been mad
L yeah he was cause he at least thought you would come say goodbye before you went to work
K oh well after I put her to bed I will have to try and call them and see what I could do
L good idea
They got all the kids to bed and then Kevin went to eat his dinner and Lucy was talking with Kevin's mom
Kevin is calling Ben's house
M hello
K hey Mary
M oh hi how is Kathy doing
K well she is still not talking to Lucy
M oh wow all day
K yup is Ben around
M yeah I will see if he wants to talk to you
K ok
M Ben it is for you
B who is it
M Kisen
B fine I guess I will hear what he has to say even know I don't want to talk to him
M good
B what do you want
K I know you are mad but I just wanted to say sorry for what I did and how I didn't get to spend time with you guys
B yeah right like that is ever going to happen you never come out here
K well I am going to try and get Lucy to come out over Christmas and then I could spend a lot of time with you guys
B well we will see all I am saying is that if you came in I would take time off.
K yeah I know you would and I am sorry I didn't
B well whatever what's done is done but I am still mad
K that is fine I just wanted to let you know I was sorry.
B well I got to go
K bye
He tired calling Patti Mary but their was no answer.
L well how did the calling go
K it went ok Ben is still mad but at least I told him I was sorry and he said that if I ever came out he would take off of work for me
Karen yeah he would you guys used to be so close
K well I told him if we go to New York for Christmas like I wanted to then we could spend time together
L well I think we are going to go out because everyone else in my family is going except we don't know about Matt so we will get to go. Cause I know that is what you wanted for a very long time
K yes thank you so much I can't wait to get back their
L I knew you would be happy
He hugged Lucy
Kearn thank you I will have my whole family together for Christmas.
L no problem
At Mary's house
M so what was all that about

R ok well last night Cecelia came over and she and Simon were watching movie dad came down this morning and he found them sleeping on the sofa together. And I head him yelling so I came to see what was going on. They yelled a lot and the bottom line is that Simon said he is 20 and is almost married and then he said he didn't need this and they left still in his pj's mind you.
A oh wow so I ma guessing he didn't go to church.
R no and he still is not home yet and dad is really mad
A oh I see this is what happens when I go away
R no it was just this time and I know he didn't do anything wrong he knows better then that and they were just sleeping
A yeah I know you are right so how mad is he do I want to talk to him
R well he is mad but he is not here
A where did he go
R the grocery store and you know he never goes there unless he really has to
A yeah you are right

A oh ok well tell him to call me when he gets back
R I will
A where are the boys
R they went to Danny's after church
A oh ok. Well just do me a favor and try and find your brother and tell him not to worry about it and I will call later to talk to him

E oh I am still mad he knows better
A yeah but he is also a very smart kid and wont' do anything and he knows to wait till he is married and trust me he will.
E yeah I guess you are right but I am still mad
A well when he gets home don't yell to much other wise you will just push him away and then we will lose him a and I don't want that.
E ok I won't or at least I will try

C yeah hangs on
S hey mom I am assume you know
A yeah I do
S you know we didn't mean to it was late we had a long day we just fell asleep
A I know I believe you and trust you. You just must have caught your father at a bad time. But this is not what I want happening well I am gone
S thanks mom at least you believe me. Yeah maybe but he didn't have to go crazy if he knew me at all he knows that I won't have done anything wrong I mean how many times did you talk to us about it. Millions I would say.and no this is the first time that we fought
A I know you are smatter then that but I just think that he thinks back to that time when you wanted to

A I know just do me a favor and go home sometime tonight and talk with him but don't yell I already warned him and be good until when I get home. For me
S ok mom I will
A good I love you
S love you to
C what did she want
S oh she found out what happened and told me that she believes and trusts us and that he just must have been mad or something. And to go home and talk with him and don't fight and be good until she gets home for her.
C oh
S she thinks that he thinks that we did something only because of that time when we in high school and wanted to and got caught
C oh well that was years ago
S that is what I said
C yeah well you want to order dinner
S yeah considering we both spent the whole day in our pj's

Kathy went to hug her mom and Lucy started crying
R jeez Luce she likes you again you don't have to cry over it
Everyone laughs
M yeah really
L shut up. It ahs been a hard few day for me when she wasn't talking to me it is probably like when you said you hated mom
R oh well what can I say I was young and dumb
M well this should show you not to yell like that and not pay attention to the other kids. We always paid attention to nick and nothing happened and he loves jack
Lucy runs out of the room crying Kevin goes after her
E you to that were not nice at all you better go say you are sorry right now. Even though you might have been joking
S yeah

L well you did and make me look bad in front of my mother in law
R oh she knew we were joking
L well still I don't know that you think I am a bad mother
M we don't it. It is just we have noticed you spend more time with Kelly then the other kids now
R and we know she is a baby and needs a lot of attention but so do the other kids
L yeah I know Kevin told me that to
M well he is right. I mean you even hold her well she is sleeping for hours when you could be doing stuff with the other kids
R and like when you send the other kids my mom and your just with her how do you think they feel
L I guess I never thought about it like that
M well all we are saying is that you don't want them all not talking to you like Kathy was
L yeah you are right thanks guys
M no problem and we are sorry
R yeah and it had to be said by someone
They went back downstairs
E is everything all right now
L yeah what they said made sense and had to be said
