It snowed!!!

Grandma had surgery to remove a bone spur off her knee today... she's doing very well though.. even able to walk around alittle which is a GOOD thing.. She hasn't been able to get out of her chair all month long, so to be able to just stand up on her own is a HUGE improvement... so that leave me hopeful that she'll be back up and walking in no time. =)

I've been going over every day and spending all day over there cleaning and cooking and helping her with baths and to the bathroom and whatnot... and the other day she asked me if we'd want to move over there so we could be there to help her out more. And at first I said yes.... but the more I thought about it... the more I don't think I want to. I mean it's a great opportunity for us to be able to save some money... but on the other hand.. theres so much SHIT that goes along with living at that house that I'm not sure I wanna volunteer for. I'd have to deal with listening to Jim bitch every time he stepped foot in there... I'd have to deal with Lee just barging into my room whenever she felt like it... I'd have to deal with Brian and all his stupidness... I'd have to deal with 4 dogs that aren't mine and I'd probably end up being the sole one that took care of them...

And yea.... the dogs.. let's talk about this for a minute... Brian has 11 dogs right now... and barely takes care of them... and Grandma and harold barely say a word about it to him.... But they ASK me to move in... knowing I have 2 cats.. and automatically say "well the cats can't come" Like it's no big deal to just up and get rid of your pets like that... um yea fuck that... cats don't go, robyn don't go. Thems are my little fuzzy children... and they are better behaved that any child I've ever known. My cats aren't going ot sneak into Grandmas house at night and trash the place like his dogs do... my cats don't shit anywhere they please... they don't bark.. they don't escape from their cages (they don't have cages lol).. I take care of my animals... I always have..... and yet I'm the one that ins't allowed to have pets over there.... umm whatever. I talked her into letting me bring them though. hehe

And yea.. to add onto the whole "family" love that my family displays... I had to rearrange and fix Grandmas warddrobe today because Jim punched it. Nice huh? He was pissed at Brian and hit grandmas wardrobe.... wonderful "example" to be setting.... lmao! FIRST thing Jim says to me when I walk in at Grandmas today to help her get ready for her surgey.... FIRST THING...... "Have you seen the fucking mess in the basement?" ummm Like I give a shit??? Like it's MY problem.... and I simply responded "Um, Nope just walked in the door wise one" and man I got a look..... again LMAO..... but DUH.... I'd JUST walked in the door.. I OBVIOUSLY hadn't been to the basement. But I went down there.. and aside from one pile of shit.. it was fine. Like it always is... I think someone needs to grow up personally and stop nit-picking and starting fights with 20 year olds. So right in front of him I cleaned up the poo and sat in the floor to play with the puppies... so he left... THANK GOD. I'm so sick of dealing with the "grown up's" in my family acting more immature than the toddlers that run around.

But anway.... moral of this story is that we've decided to NOT move to Grandmas. I'm not subjecting myself to all that... I'll go help her anytime she needs help.. and I'll stay for as long as I need to stay... and then I'll go home.... to my home that's not there.

We were going to... matter of fact.. had already set up the appointment for the consultation... to have the basement sealed and waterproofed... I was going to re-carpet it... I was going ot build a wall dividing the bedrooms.. and I was going to fix the drywall and bathroom tile.... but not anymore... someone else can fix it.

Christina has been having some issues at home.. and her and Billy are anxious to get their lives started together and get married and move in together and all that but being as young as they are.. are a little inexpierenced in "the ways of the world". So Sean and I decided that we'd all get a place together instead. We're going to stay in this neighborhood cuz 1. I LOVE this area and 2. It's close to the college Christina has chosen. and 3. Jobs are a dime a dozen around this area. so it's a good way to help them get started and for us to get a bigger place.

Christina already has a dog and together her and Billy wanna get a dog... Sean wants a dog (very badly, his heart was broken today over a dog actually).... so we obviously need a yard. Plus this way my CATS won't be deprived of their beloved windows.. lol rotten critters. =)

I think it'll be nice to live with them... I mean when Billy wasn't in the Corp he damned near lived with us anyway cuz he was over every single day so it's not like a great big switch anyway. I'm pretty excited about it though.. I can't wait... We've decided to shoot for moving someitme in January... so we can get through Christmas without having to pack and whatnot.



We got our first "snow" today.... yea.. you Northerners are gonna like this one... it was just enough to make the stairs slick.. lol and by 10 am it was gone.. I'd say it was one twenty-fifth of an inch... lmao... Big ole snow... hehe =) I was gonna take a pic but it wouldn't show up on the camera enough to show it off.. lmao... funny shit...

Anyway.. it's past my kiddo's bedtime.. must go read her a story and tuck her in.

Sweet Dreams everyone. =)
