I wish I could, but we got some pretty big news almost right after we got back from the honeymoon. Ashley has a kid half-brother we're now responsible for.

Okay yeah, that would do it. Shit. How old is he?
legalelite: (T-Shirt)

[personal profile] legalelite 2025-02-22 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
He's ten. So far he's taking everything a lot better than I would. We got him enrolled in school here and I still have to figure out what's going to happen when the season starts. I was going to go to Boulder with Ashley, but obviously you can't just yank a kid out of school for a few months.
wecanbealright: (i just settled into the glass half empty)

[personal profile] wecanbealright 2025-02-22 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. God, sounds like a mess. How's Ashley taking it?
legalelite: (Working)

[personal profile] legalelite 2025-02-22 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
He's okay. Emotional, of course. He feels guilty for me being stressed out. But I have so much respect for him immediately stepping up and getting on a plane to get his brother, you know? It wasn't really a choice.
wecanbealright: (so if like me)

[personal profile] wecanbealright 2025-02-22 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I can imagine. Poor kid. It's good that he has the two of you at least.

We're gonna do our best. Do you think I could bring Casey by sometime? Maybe getting a cookie or something might cheer him up.
wecanbealright: (to know is possible now)

[personal profile] wecanbealright 2025-02-23 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
I bet you'll do pretty well.
Of course you can. You don't even need to ask, come by any time you want.
And hey, if you need a babysitter or anything, you can always call, okay?
legalelite: (Relaxed)

[personal profile] legalelite 2025-02-23 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate that. I'll let you know once we figure out how this is supposed to work, because right now all I'm doing is confusing myself trying to sort it.

Ashley's taking me out for a spa day tomorrow, so maybe by then I'll be able to brain correctly.
wecanbealright: (I got a funny feeling that I can't doubt)

[personal profile] wecanbealright 2025-02-23 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, of course. Just letting you know the offer's open.

Sounds like it might help you relax anyway. You probably need it.

It's a good idea, it's just not something I ever thought I'd do. I mean, can you imagine me wandering around in a towel?
